Heartfelt Practices

Explore Bhakti yoga through soulful kirtan, deity-inspired flows, and meditative rituals that nurture your connection to the heart and spirit.

Embodied Wisdom

Learn to merge anatomy and alignment with philosophical insights, balancing strength with softness in arm balances and other postures.

Sacred Connection

Create community with like-minded seekers as we honor the elements, the moon, and each other in a safe and supportive space.

Retreat Overview

Dive deep into a four-day exploration of yoga as union in Bhakti Embodied, where yoga becomes more than a practice—it’s a way of living. Through intentional movement, sacred chant, and heartfelt connection, we will explore the yoga of love, embracing both the spiritual and physical aspects of union.

This retreat is designed to move you, body and soul, guiding you toward deeper connection with Self, Spirit, and sangha while celebrating the natural rhythms of the moon and elements. Together, we will create space for transformation, balance, and joy.
