The Journey Through Their Eyes​

ANIKET

INDIA

Yoga Gita has brought a true approach to Yoga and how it should be conveyed to the public. The approach by Vijay and the team has shown there is more to Yoga than just the postures. I am glad to have had the opportunity to attend this retreat and how it. changed my way of thinking and approaching Yoga, as well as everyday life.

This was a great yoga experience. Especially I liked the yoga sessions that were very spiritually oriented. This was a new way of doing yoga for me, having met many other teachers before. I also liked the people there a lot, which are very friendly and supportive.
The program was holistic and well-structured. I could feel the effect of all the practices almost real time. 🙂 The ashram environment, accommodation, and food were all conducive for me to go more inward. I would definitely recommend the program and the center to all spiritual seekers and those who want to improve their quality of life.

FAQ

Your Questions Answered

What are the pain points that this program solves?

Lack of the various aspects and understandings of the subject: participants often struggle with a limited grasp of yoga’s deeper principles, which can hinder their practice and teaching, but most importantly, can misdirect their lives

Misapplication of techniques: many practitioners practice on superficial aspects like perfecting postures, leading to physical, mental, and emotional barriers, rather than genuine growth

Health: a disconnection from yoga’s essence can negatively affect physical health and emotional well-being, leaving practitioners feeling unfulfilled

World situation of war and aggression: there is a direct connection between the prevalence of war, conflict, and pollution and the essence of individuals. Transforming oneself is the first step towards creating a better world.

Instability: Life presents many challenges that can pull people away from a centered and stable state of mind. Once you understand your true essence, you become less affected by external circumstances. Life transforms into a game, where all experiences flow like a river of expression.

Lack of inspiration and purpose: many yoga teachers and practitioners feel uninspired, struggling to find creativity and purpose in their teaching and practice

Stressful Life: a proper practice can completely and utterly eliminate stress and fear from anyone’s life

Difficulty in establishing a holistic practice: without proper guidance, practitioners may find it challenging to effectively integrate yoga into their daily lives

Challenges in developing a self-practice: establishing and maintaining a consistent self-practice can be difficult without proper tools and guidance

This program aims to bridge these gaps by offering a thorough understanding of Yoga’s philosophical foundations and practical applications, supporting personal and collective growth.
