New Moon Kundalini Yoga Retreat with Liya Garber
Venue: Gyuto Tibetan Buddhist Monastery
LIYA GARBER
Prana is not just energy—it is the fuel for your visions, your devotion, your capacity to create and sustain what you are calling in this year. Without it, even the clearest intentions fade. With it, life responds.
Under the potency of the New Moon, we gather for a day-long Kundalini immersion—a ceremonial pause to step out of momentum, reconnect to your body and breath, and consciously harvest the energy needed for expansion.
During this intentional temple day, time slows. The nervous system softens. Space opens for clarity, connection, and renewal.We move together through longer practices, intentional rest, silence, prayer, and community, so that what is awakened can actually integrate.
You’ll leave nourished, aligned, and resourced from the inside out.
OUR DAY INCLUDES…
2 in-depth workshop-activations with mantra, breathwork, meditation
Silent prayer walk on the monastery grounds
Community connection
Artisanal tea & organic snacks
Cleansing gong bath and sound healing by Gina Lola
This is where you pause, collect, and realign—so you can move forward with presence, power, and radiance!

After struggling in an unfulfilled life as a business executive in New York City, Liya embarked on her yoga journey to pursue self-healing, and the astonishing results kept her from ever looking back, even restoring her thyroid autoimmunity through a combination of Kundalini Yoga and the aid of experienced naturopaths.
Since then, she’s been dedicated to creating a sacred space for humankind to expand their consciousness and connect the dots between mind, body, and spirit.
Liya has a rare gift for teaching and establishing a joyful, lighthearted environment filled with laughter in which all students can align with their inner truths.
