Bhakti yoga: A d evotional remembering Bhakti yoga is a pathway to self-realisation and is a practice that has helped me to take spiritual bounds. It opens your heart and helps to clear your mind of all the stuff of not-remembering (who you really are). To chant the Name (of the Divine) is to call out to the light of Divinity within.

Karmas which stop us from remembering. We can also use thoughtful movement to help us to live with more earthly congruence and equally guide ourselves the calm side where we can experience deep healing and transformation.

Yoga Nidra is a powerful guided meditation practice designed to drop you into the ‘place’ between wakefulness and sleep.

My practice has changed significantly over the years. These days I practice chanting the Name (of the Divine) and moving my body gently - always allowing time for my body and mind to rest and for my heart to open. Just like you I am a seeker of Light and have been for over a decade. I’ve felt deep despair, grief and the uncertainty too. And as hard as they are to feel, these are the vehicles for deep spiritual awakening. It has been my personal experience that it is our pain and suffering that eventually leads us back to wholeness and effortless Love (Grace). Radhanath Swami says “we reduce suffering by cultivating a higher inner experience.” That’s why I practice. Why not practice with me? Om Om Om x x x I am currently based in Melbourne, Australia and guiding public classes at Radiant Sol Yoga in South Melbourne each Sunday afternoon/eve.
