All varieties of yoga practice aim at realizing ones divine essence, but the wide range of yoga teachings can be confusing.
This very practical class will explain the four common yoga paths Karma-yoga, Jnana Yoga, Ashtanga-yoga & Bhakti-yoga, clarifying what separates and what unites them, how it all relates to asana practice, as well as which elements of these paths are most practical for deepening ones own yoga practice in todays world.

Students will be be better prepared to interpret yoga teachings for themselves by gaining an understanding of the most fundamental concepts of yoga through the Bhagavad-gita, yogas most essential text.

Subjects to be covered:

Ashtanga-yoga / Meditation
Janna-Yoga / Renunciation
Karma-yoga / Action
Bhakti-yoga / Devotion
Karma
Time
The modes of nature (gunas)
The relation between the mind, intelligence, ego, and self.
The relevance of asana practice in yoga.

Between the ages of 21 and 34 he lived as a Vaishnava monk, traveling and studying in ashrams in India and America. He teaches bhakti-yoga philosophy and meditation, which he has practiced for over 30 years in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.

The Bhakti Centers Donation Policy

In yogas spiritual culture a teacher shares the wisdom of the sacred texts as an act of devotion rather than for profit. This is especially important in the Bhakti tradition because teaching and learning are two of the main ways bhakti is exchanged in ones daily life, and the principle of bhakti is to do for others without motive. It also keeps the most important activity in society, giving knowledge for upliftment, affordable for all.

At The Bhakti Center we honor these important principles of education: that teaching is done purely out of love and that it is affordable. Therefore, for all of our classes on the sacred texts we dont charge a set price.

So the question remains, how do teachers live? The answer is that pure teachers depend on God and good students honor that by sharing a donation from the heart and according to their means. This is also part of the tradition of yoga.

For the class The 4 Paths of Yoga with Kaustubha Das we suggest a donation between $20 and $30.
