YO 555 Yoga - The Bhakti Path: Devotion, Song & Ceremony

Bhakti is described in the Bhagavad Gita as the path of devotion in which all actions are done in the context of remembering the Divine, transmuting emotion, love, compassion and service in surrender to The Divine Mystery.  Through self-reflection and transforming our inner-critic into our inner-Beloved, we experience the nectar of Divine Connectivity and the Ocean of Grace that is Divine Love.  Even in this spiritual context Bhakti Yoga calls us to engage fully in all the limbs of yoga: asana, pranayama, meditation, etc.  We will also dive into the tradition of Kirtan (sustained devotional chanting) as a way to access universal principles and channel our thoughts and emotions into a practice honoring Spirit.  Techniques for storytelling, incorporation of sacred music, the use of mantra, and sequencing from the view of sacred stories will all be covered.  Advanced YTT students will learn to add this powerful dimension of Bhakti to their life and their classes in a way that makes sense, both to themselves and their students.
