The Gods and Goddesses of Yoga

Indoor Lodge

Have you ever wondered how the asanas got their names? From front-split pose and the monkey god Hanuman's split-legged leap to save a princess, to eagle pose and the deity Garuda who wrapped his wings around himself to shrink in size and defeat the serpents--many yoga poses are named directly after the Hindu gods and goddesses and the shapes they took in their tales. When we learn the stories behind the asanas, we connect to the ancient cultural source of the practice for deep spiritual embodiment of these 3,000-year-old epics. Join this workshop for powerful storytelling to deepen your practice.

“Kirtan” is the practice of chanting holy names with call and response melodies. This can be done with or without instruments, in groups or alone, and the goal is to learn mantras through repetition and build to an ecstatic state of fearless personal expression.

Different lineages and traditions offer praise to different deities and divine forms, but the intention is always the same: to connect one’s self to the Divine through music and song.

You do not have to be a good singer, it is not a performance. It is an offering; a joyful community ritual and all are welcome regardless of age, religion, race or status.

The Bhagavad Gita: Entering The Heart Of Yoga Philosophy

Sunday September 15, 2024 2:30pm - 4:00pm EDT

Indoor Lodge

“Perform your duty equipoised, o Arjuna. Such steadiness of purpose is called ‘Yoga’.” One has not fully entered the tradition of Yoga, as a yogi, without attempting to understand the shastras. “Shastra” means sacred text, and for thousands of years, the Bhagavad Gita has been considered by millions around the world to be an essential doorway for ordinary people to gain spiritual advancement on the path of Yoga. However, like many sacred texts, the language of the Gita can be cryptic and hard to digest which often leads people to feel confused or discouraged from studying it. In this 75-minute presentation, you will be initiated into the exoteric story and esoteric meanings of “The Bhagavad Gita”. You’ll learn the four steps of Yoga, and how to apply the story and the steps to your everyday life. There will be slides and room for questions throughout the presentation.

Mountain Top

Join Heather for a soothing vinyasa flow, where you’ll weave the body and breath together in sacred rhythm, creating energetic harmony.

The body, the vessel, is our connection to earth; our breath is our connection to spirit, life force. With focused awareness & connection to your innate wisdom, you’ll come home to the remembrance that we are all souls, having a human experience.

During savasana you’ll be bathed in the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and guided in a crown chakra activation, to awaken into spiritual bliss. It’s from this frequency that we cultivate deep peace and joy in our lives.
