Wearing all white clothing expands our auric radiance by at least one foot. That is a good thing. A strong aura gives us a strong and solid identity and projection, and negative influences are automatically filtered. Wearing white is also an exercise in awareness, as it takes more consciousness and care to keep white clothes clean.
Here is a taste of what Yogi Bhajan said about wearing white: “We ask you to wear white so that you will reflect what is outside and go within yourself—that’s what white clothes can do for you. We wanted to develop a very fast, progressive, spiritual and technical method of all the colors, so we have adopted the one color of the seven colors, which is white. To you, white is just one color, but to me it is the total balance of seven colors."
Head coverings of any kind are useful for meditative practice. Turbans, in particular, are useful for holding energy in and creating a meditative focus at the third eye point (brow point). In addition, the turban provides a nice cranial adjustment. During a class of Kundalini Yoga chances are the teacher and many of the students will have their heads covered with a scarf, hat, or turban. Some teachers wear a turban or head covering for these yogic reasons alone.
The hair is alive and has an energy function. We are training ourselves to be aware of and master our subtle energies and so it is recommended to cover the head and hair with a cotton cloth or wrapped turban. Wearing a head covering enables you to command your sixth center, the Ajna Chakra. Covering the head stabilizes the cerebral matter and the 26 parts of the brain, which are interlocked with the neurological system and electromagnetic field. Covering the head creates a focus on the functional circuit of the hemispheres of the brain and tunes the neurological system. The whole head is to be covered, not just the crown chakra.
The skull is made up of tiny bones that are constantly moving even if only by micro millimeters and the degree to which they move impacts levels of calmness or anxiety. Covering the head provides a sense of containment and focus while practicing yoga or while doing work that requires clarity of thought.
The benefit of wearing a turban is that when you wrap the 5 to 7 layers of cloth, you cover the temples, which prevents any variance or movement in the different parts of the skull. A turban automatically gives you a cranial self-adjustment.

The most convenient airport to fly in and out is the International Airport of the Americas. It’s one hour away from the city, and three hours from the place of the retreat. We recommend that you arrive the day before, Weds. March 26, or on the morning of Thursday, March 27th, leaving in the late afternoon or evening of Sunday, April 6th, or on the morning of Monday, April 7th. Those ground transportation fees are included, otherwise, the fee may vary from USD$35 (from the capital city to the airport) to USD$125 (all the way to the retreat center). There’s also the option of flying from the Cibao Regional Airport in the city of Santiago de los Treinta Caballeros. It’s closer to the retreat center. This option is recommended if you were to come just for the retreat, March 27-30.
