 <title>LA Yoga March 2008</title>
 <link>http://bajaoffthegrid.com/news/press/la-yoga-march-2008</link>
 <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Off the Grid in Baja&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gahl Sasson and his partner fell in love with a clif-side house in Baja while on a spiritual pilgrimage. This love affair has led to the purchase of a home overlooking the Pacific and the transformation to that property to a solar powered retreat center. Bedrooms sleep up to 14 people and 30 can practise overlooking the waves. Gahl and his partner will be leading workshops on relationships, astrology and the connection between mind, body and spirit at the site. THE BAJA CENTER is also open to other groups. While in LA., Gahl teaches workshops at Golden Bridge and gives astrological consultations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Why is it when you are in one it is so difficult to maintain it and when you don&#039;t have one you can&#039;t seem to think about anything else? We will dive into the mystical origin of relationships and why we all must master them in order to evolve spiritually.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;   2. Love Signs - The Alchemy of Relationships:&lt;/b&gt; What is the best sign for me? How can I better understand my partner through their astrological make up? We will go over astrology and compatibility between signs in relation to love and work.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;   3. The Philosopher&#039;s Stone:&lt;/b&gt; An interactive workshop where you will get a chance to score, fix and understand the relationships in your life using a unique technique Gahl Sasson has developed in his readings throughout the years.&lt;/p&gt;
