ASHRAM YOGA PILGRAMIGE

Humble Warrior and friends invite you to this Ashram Yoga pilgrimage to the sacred city of Vrindavan, where Krishna is said to have lived.

​

This is a Bhakti-focused retreat with an explorative approach. This means that we will explore spiritual practices and concepts together rather than follow a prescribed approach.

 

Over the week, participants will practice Bhakti (devotion), Jnana (discernment), Asana (postures), Karma (service), Kirtan (chanting), Dhyana (meditation), and Pranayama (breath).

​

This is a beautiful opportunity to dive deep(er) into the practices of Bhakti yoga and experience an environment where Bhakti is practiced in a very traditional and inspiring way. 

​

Reconnect to your inner stillness and nourish yourself spiritually, mentally, and physically with a wide variety of yoga tools. This is an invitation to connect to your heart, soul, and body, which lets you return to your naturally uplifted, joyful, and loving state.

 

Fill your heart with love, and let the practices do the rest.

​

This retreat falls over the ashram's birthday, which is a time of great celebration. The ashram often gets extremely busy during this period, so if you wish to join, get booked sooner rather than later. 

 

Ashram life will immerse you in a loving, family-feeling community with Bhakti practices happening many times daily. The ashram will provide you with three veggie meals a day. AC rooms are available for an additional cost.  Please note that the ashram rooms are simple.  

​

Vrindavan is one of the most devoted cities in the world. For well over 70 years, the Maha Mantra (the Hare Krishna mantra) has been chanted 24 hours a day which makes the atmosphere extremely vibrant and alive. 

 

There will be a complete program to choose from. Take advantage of as much or as little as you like. Aarti several times a day, a yoga class each day, dharma talks from the resident guru, karma yoga, daily chanting and a tour of the other ashrams and temples.

 

Charlie Kelly, a Humble Warrior teacher, will lead the retreat with the help of Lisa Marie,  friends of the ashram and devotees.
