ABOUT THE immersion:

A devotional deep dive into the heart of yoga. This 10-hour immersion invites you to awaken the archetypal energies of the deities as living forces within. Through mantra, myth, movement, mudra and meditation, we journey into the luminous world of Bhakti Yoga, where the stories of the gods become maps for our own transformation.

​

In this training, we explore how the divine is not separate from the self, but an intimate, embodied presence.

 

Each practice becomes a portal — calling in the grounded wisdom and obstacle-clearing energy of Ganesha, the fierce compassion and transformative power of Durga and Kali, the devotion and purity of Sita, the noble heart and steadiness of Ram, and the unwavering love, strength and service of Hanuman.

​

This is not about performance — it’s about remembrance. An invitation to feel, to soften, to surrender, and to rise, held by the sacred pulse of Bhakti Yoga.

​

Open to yoga teachers, seekers, and lovers of the divine. No musical experience needed — just a willing heart.

IS THIS IMMERSION FOR ME?

This immersion is for anyone who feels drawn to the devotional heart of yoga.

 

Whether you're a dedicated student wanting to deepen your personal practice or a yoga teacher seeking to bring more meaning, authenticity and wisdom into the way you teach, this weekend is designed to meet you where you are.

​

All that is required is curiosity, respect, and a willingness to experience yoga beyond the physical practice.

​

This immersion is especially for you if you:

  • Feel that modern yoga has become disconnected from its roots and want to understand the tradition more deeply.

  • Want to explore mantra, mythology, kirtan and the philosophy of Bhakti in an accessible and embodied way.

  • Long for a practice that nourishes the heart as much as the body.

  • Are a yoga teacher wanting to teach from lived experience rather than simply learnt information.

  • Want to reconnect with why you first came to yoga.

​

Whether you are completely new to Bhakti or have been walking this path for many years, you will leave with practices, perspectives and experiences that can continue to support your life long after the immersion ends.

You will leave this weekend with a wealth of understanding of Bhakti Yoga as a living, embodied path, along with practical tools to continue your own devotional practice through mantra, mudra, meditation and mythology.

 

So much more than information! You'll leave with a felt connection to the archetypal energies of the deities, a renewed sense of devotion in your practice, and a deeper appreciation of yoga as a path to be lived, not just practised.

 

If you're a teacher, you'll also gain authentic ways to weave these timeless teachings into your classes with integrity, depth and respect.
