Maybe you’ve been doing yoga and meditation for years. Maybe you’re still not sure what they are. But something inside you is saying: “It’s time!” It’s time to make a change. Time to stop living in ways that don’t fulfill you. Time to ask the big questions and figure out who you really are.
At Hridaya, we understand you—because we’ve been there. That nagging voice of yearning has spoken to us, too. We know it as the call of the Heart, and its wisdom infuses everything we do. When you meditate or practice yoga with us, you aren’t just moving your body or taming your mind. You’re beginning a journey of discovery that will transform your life—connecting you to yourself in ways you never imagined and making you happier, calmer, and more compassionate along the way.
Over the course of eighteen days, you will participate in Hatha yoga sessions, and practice meditation, and purification techniques while also immersing yourself in traditional spiritual principles and visions from classical yoga including the non-dual tradition of Advaita Vedanta.
You will also experience living in a community dedicated to living with an open heart and have the opportunity to participate in weekly events such as Bhajans (devotional singing).
Long, meditative Hatha yoga classes, inspiring lectures, a supportive and welcoming community, time to relax in nature, this module one yoga course offers you all of that and more. Unfolding over three weeks, module one is an artful blend of practice, theory, and philosophy that gives you a holistic experience of authentic yoga. It is an invitation to meet yourself on a new level, explore your inner depths, and contemplate life's most fundamental questions.
You will emerge rejuvenated and transformed - feeling open-hearted, centered, and joyful and allowing grace to flow more easily into your life. Module one is the first stage of the Hridaya Yoga Retreats, a comprehensive system that takes you from yogic fundamentals to advanced esoteric practices. The variety of techniques and approaches presented will inspire you to find your own path to truth.
This is a holistic course that creates the conditions for the revelation of your real nature, the spiritual heart. It is a life-changing journey in which important yoga topics are introduced in both a practical and theoretical way. The practice of Hatha yoga provides an intimate inner knowledge of the physical body, bio-energies, and chakras (energy centers), as well as of your ultimate nature. A contemplative attitude and an awareness of the spiritual heart is important part of the practice.
