Bhakti Retreat

This beautiful retreat represents an opportunity to immerse yourself in the powerful path of Bhakti Yoga, the path of the heart. Awaken the spirit of devotion in your heart and explore how to direct this devotion toward self-realization.

Bhakti Yogis live their whole lives infused with devotion, and thus these teachings provide a unique path for integrating Yoga into life off the mat and outside the Yoga hall. Learn how to access a state of bhakti in your Yoga practice, meditation, and daily life. We will also explore how to enhance devotion in interpersonal relationships. To attune to the state of divine love, we will practice devotional rituals for identification with great masters of devotion. There will be lectures, bhajans, Hatha Yoga to open the heart, and the invocation of Shiva through recitation of the 108 names of Shiva.
