Bhakti and Karma Yoga
This retreat will be taking place online from Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May 2025.
During the retreat we will be exploring two of the most powerful aspects of yoga – the role of devotion and love on the one hand, and the role of service and surrender in action, on the other.
We will be focussing on the teachings of Anandamayi Ma, Mirabai, St. Teresa of Avila, Rama Krishna, Rumi, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Shivananda and Sri Aurobindo. We will also look at some of the verses in the Bhagavad Gita on these topics, as well as the AYP approach to Bhakti and Karma Yoga.
All practice sessions will include asana practice, spinal breathing pranayama, mantra meditation and samyama. Full instructions for all practices will be given.
The retreat will be led in English. Class times are in London (UK) time. The classes on the retreat will not be recorded.
To take part, it is recommended to be in a quiet location, where you can focus on your spiritual practices over the two-days of the event.
The centre in Devon, England, where the retreat will be taught from.
“You have the right to perform your actions, but not to the fruits of those actions.
Do not let the results be your motive, and do not be attached to inaction.” [Bhagavad Gita]
