Weekend Online Advanced Yoga Practices (AYP) Retreat

The Bhagavad Gita

Krishna

27th and 28th September 2025

Time zone - London U.K.

This retreat will be taking place online on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September 2025.

During the retreat we will look at the Bhagavad Gita. The Gita is a Sanskrit text that is around 2,500 years old. It is probably the most famous book in India and is possibly the most chanted text in the world, as it is chanted daily in thousands of temples all over India, even today.

During the retreat we will look at three key teachings of the Gita:

  • Jnana Yoga – the yoga of self-knowledge.
  • Bhakti Yoga – the yoga of devotion.
  • Karma Yoga – the yoga of action.
We will also look at some of the metaphors used within the Gita and how these relate to the teachings found in the text.
 

Practices will include Asana, spinal breathing pranayama, mantra meditation and samyama.

The retreat will be led in English. Class times are in London (UK) time. 

To take part, it is recommended to be in a quiet location, where you can focus on your spiritual practices over the course of the event.

None of the classes on the retreat will be recorded. Home recording is not permitted. 

“Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Divine. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.” [Bhagavad Gita]
