Mas Vidal, Director of Dancing Shiva, provides the perfect recipe: The Veda Yoga Lifestyle Enhancement Program.
Mas Vidal followed his vision to Los Angeles in search of his dream. Over the years, he has lived “the hero's journey,” in the mythological Joseph Campbell sense. Eventually, and fortunately for us, he discovered that his mission is to bring the ancient spiritual and healing sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda together. Through his programs he offers a profound and accessible path to physical and spiritual healing, growth and inner peace. Visit Dancing Shiva, 7466 Beverly Blvd., Hollywood.
