What's in the Workshop?
The 2-hour workshop includes:
A Talk on the Context of Bhakti
This is a brief, introductory lesson on the basics of Bhakti practices and a discussion of its Hindu origins. Explanation of the theory behind mindfulness, meditation, chanting (mantra), singing (kirtan), and prayer offerings.
Practice Prayer Offering
Students work directly with flowers, incense, and candles to gain first hand experience of prayer and intention setting. This is an inward and personal experience to ground the energy of the session.
Practice Chanting (Mantra)
Students practice the repetition of words of gratitude and affirmation. For the most beginner group, we will use English mantras to dive right into practice. This allows us to maintain focus and experience profound spiritual depths in a short time.
Practice Singing (Bajan)
Students will practice the singing of words of gratitude and affirmation. For the most beginner group, we will use partial English songs (bajans) from popular Yogic musical artists. This allows the group to enter the joyous, blissful, and healing frequencies of the songs without a language barrier.
Live Music
Session
(Kirtan)
Students will reach their peak experience when a final set of songs are introduced with live-music played by Travis and hand-instruments made available to the whole class. This high-vibration exercise raises energy levels to new heights!
What is Bhakti Yoga?
What is commonly known today as "yoga", the postures and exercises, represents a very small piece of the whole system of Yoga. Bhakti yoga, is one of the three classical paths in Hinduism which lead to Moksha, the other paths being Jnana yoga and Karma yoga and is discussed in depth by the Bhagavad Gita.
​
At its core, Bhakti is the practice of devotion. Traditionally, Bhakti Yoga uses beautiful prayer offerings, chanting (mantra) and singing (bajan) to praise a 'personal deity'. As the curiosity of spiritual seekers grows, more Yogis are eager to learn various prayers, mantras, and engage more authentically with the Hindu traditions.
Travis offers a very potent and basic version of these practices, that guides students into the frequencies of peace and bliss, without having to learn Sanskrit or other esoteric aspects of Hinduism.
