I bow to the Guru, the creative force, the sustaining presence, and the power of transformation, the living expression of the infinite reality that guides us into truth.
Join us on a journey to deepen your asana through the lens of Bhakti, where devotion becomes embodied practice.
An immersive training to experience
Bhakti Yoga through asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation & sacred, intentional sequencing.
The Path of Bhakti
Bhakti Yoga is the path of devotion; the remembrance that our practice is an offering. Through sound, breath & awareness we enter into relationship with the sacred. The divine is honored through many forms; each representing qualities & energies that already
live within us.
In this immersive 50-hour teacher training, asana, mantra, pranayama, meditation, kriya, mudra, philosophy & intentional namaskar sequencing come together to transform Vinyasa into a living expression of reverence.
Through the study & embodiment of different forms of the divine, including Ganesha, Shakti, Shiva, Hanuman, Radha & Krishna, Sita & Ram you will learn how each sequence becomes a vehicle for meaning, allowing philosophy & archetype to be
felt directly in the body.
Rooted in lineage, honoring our teachers & those who've walked the path before us with integrity & supported by daily sadhana, this training deepens your personal practice and gives you the tools to guide devotional, intentional Bhakti Vinyasa classes.
What you'll learn
Our sessions will be devoted to embodied practice, philosophy study, intentional sequencing, practice teaching, & daily sadhana.

त्वमेव माता च पिता त्वमेव
त्वमेव बन्धुश्च सखा त्वमेव ।
त्वमेव विद्या द्रविणं त्वमेव
त्वमेव सर्वं मम देव देव ॥
tvam eva mātā ca pitā tvam eva
tvam eva bandhuś ca sakhā tvam eva
tvam eva vidyā draviṇaṁ tvam eva
tvam eva sarvaṁ mama deva deva
You alone are my mother and my father.
You alone are my friend and companion.
You alone are my knowledge and my strength.
You are my everything, O divine source.
By immersing yourself in these practices & committing to sadhana, you begin to teach from what is lived and embodied, from your own relationship with the divine. The Namaskars become a blueprint, a sacred structure through which breath, mantra & the depth of the yogic teachings take form in movement.
From this foundation, teaching arises naturally, guided by presence & understanding, moving beyond memorization into something authentic, intuitive & offered in devotion.
