The Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the world’s most profound spiritual teachings - a timeless dialogue that speaks directly to the human heart. Far beyond philosophy, the Gita is a guide for inner healing, clarity, and awakened living. It helps us navigate confusion, overwhelm, and self-doubt by revealing a deeper intelligence within us: the steady, compassionate, unshakeable Self. Through its teachings on dharma, devotion, meditation, and non-attachment, the Gita offers a path to peace in the midst of life’s challenges. In this training, we will explore how its wisdom can dissolve mental turbulence, soothe the emotional body, and reconnect us to the soul’s innate wholeness. The Gita is not just a text to study, it is a medicine for the mind and a luminous mirror for the spirit.

The Gita is Vidya´s favorite philosophical text and she has shared wisdom from the Gita in training formats for many years.

We will start each day in silence. The passive inversions will also aid the experiential understanding and clarity gained from stillness and silence. Enhance your ability to experience silence
