Life in Focus 2011
February 2011
Mumbai, India







Year-after-year, this experience – guided by world-renowned philosopher Swami Parthasarathy – is a member favorite. The retreat at the Vedanta Academy in Mumbai, India centers the mind and body, delivering to the world’s top CEOs a “life in focus.”
Swami Parthasarathy, or Swamiji (respected spiritual teacher), teaches that stress, anxiety and boredom are internal phenomena.
- Over-stressed members study the 100-year-old practice of Vedanta to obtain balance between their business, personal and health lives.
- Early to bed and early to rise, a vegetarian diet and daily yoga and sport: the foundations of a “Life in Focus.”
- Awarded top ratings by YPO members, this five-day intensive and intimate learning experience is open to fewer than 50 people.
- In 2010, members from 18 chapters and 10 different countries came together for this life-changing event.
Members come away with the tools to know their true purpose in life, how to determine when “enough is enough,” and the ability to overcome stressors and embrace the elements of success.
“A great opportunity to step back and reassess life’s goals.”
–Reza Etedali (YPO Santa Monica Bay)
“Swami Parthasarathy cannot be described with words and needs to be experienced up close and personal. To say that his delivery and knowledge/wisdom of the ‘subject’ was immaculate would be a gross understatement.”
–Life in Focus attendee
