Who is this training for?
This training will show you the practices of Bhakti Yoga and how to integrate them into your lives. Not only will we teach the traditional teachings and philosophy but also how to hold space and bring your own creativity into the practices.
It is for the total beginner to an experienced practitioner (Sadhaka) looking to go deeper into the devotional aspect of your Sadhana.
You don’t have to be a musician or singer, you just need an open heart and the willingness to apply yourself to the teachings! We offer a safe and encouraging space for everyone to feel comfortable to share and express their devotion. It is about helping people ‘break-through’ into the heart space.

The Bhakti Yoga practices are there to show us that Love is who we truly are.
What will you get out of the training?
There are many "trainings" in the world, our intention is that this one serves as a deep immersion in Love (Bhakti), that we use the practices that the great masters have given us to be able to get closer to what we already are, may we experience unconditional love on this very birth since is our right.
Engaging the mind, body and soul into a practice uninterruptedly is devotion. When you are devoted to something completely, you become that. The idea of Bhakti, or devotion, is that you love, until you and the object of your love become One.
In this retreat we will allow ourselves to be 100% devoted to Love, Freedom, Knowledge, and Service. All these through the wonderful practices of all the different aspects of Yoga, Meditation, Sound healing, Kirtan (chanting) and most importantly the inspiration we will create by doing all these together in Satsanga (community of spiritual aspirants).
By the end of this training you will feel much more confortable sharing these practices with more people.

What is Bhakti Yoga for?
The highest experience of realising our true being as existence, knowledge and bliss absolute. This goes beyond words and beyond the mind.
What if we were less egoistic and self centred and more compassionate and humble in every interaction and part of our life?
1. There would be no conflict between the mind and heart.
2. There would be the experience of our true being as love.
Learn how to see the Divine everywhere through Bhakti yoga!

THE TEACHERS
Kalyani DasiAt a very young age Kalyani Dasi was introduced to the Yoga tradition with all its different aspects.
Born in Bolivia, where the knowledge of yoga was very scarce, did not stop Kalyani from mastering the asana practice, and delving deep into other disciplines within the yogic lifestyle. Particularly, Kalyani was attracted to Bhakti Yoga. Her ability to combine her devotion with a profound knowledge of the Vedanta philosophy, along with enthusiasm and clarity, make her an amazing teacher of philosophy and wisdom. In 2018 Kalyani founded Casa Bhakti, which is a learning center of yoga and devotion, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Casa Bhakti is a vibrant, active, and immensely beautiful haven of spirituality at the heart of the bustling city, offering yoga classes, chanting events, Satsangs, and much more. Certified in the Sivananda tradition and studied extensively the teachings of Baba Ram Dass and many other Yogis, Kalyani has grown to be an accomplished teacher loved dearly by all her students. @casabhakti.scz @kalyani.dasi |

Josh (Hari)Josh's introduction to Bhakti Yoga occurred when he lived at the ISKON Hare Krishna Ashram in New South Wales, Australia. This experience profoundly shaped his life, igniting a deep passion for Bhakti Yoga and Kirtan. With a lifelong love for music, he discovered a practice that merged both devotion and the joy of shared music and chanting. Presently, Josh forms one half of the Kirtan duo named Somos Amor, alongside Maga. He holds a 200-hour certification in both Ashtanga Yoga and Hatha-Vinyasa, in addition to specialised training in Sound Healing. In 2021, he established 'Jeela,' an 11-day music and yoga retreat situated in Quintana Roo, Mexico. What makes him most happy in life is the feeling of total bliss when sitting in Kirtan, losing his sense of self and singing to Krishna!

MagaMaga was born in Argentina in 1992. She grew up immersed in musical theatre, singing was and is her big passion. When she was 19 years old she went to her first yoga class and her life changed. Her mission was to learn more about yoga so she traveled to India in 2015 where she became a 200hs Yoga Teacher and there she met Joshua, her best friend where they spent days playing music together.
Since that trip, Maga started to learn more about Mantras, Kirtan and the story behind them so she could sing and share that practice with the occidental world. Nowadays, she dedicates her time teaching vocal activation and singing. She has a music duo with Joshua called Somos Amor where they chant kirtan. @maga_musica |
