Let yourself be inspired and activated by the special magic of this journey, whether it be your first or you’ve been there many times before.

ABOUT BHAKTI, RADHANATH SWAMI,
AND THE JOURNEY HOME
AND THE JOURNEY HOME
ABOUT BHAKTI, RADHANATH SWAMI, AND THE JOURNEY HOME
Bhakti is the yoga of devotion, which takes the energetic science of yoga from practice into an experience of transcendental joy. It is perhaps one of the most magical aspects of Jivamukti Yoga, expressed through chanting and spiritual storytelling.
The Jivamukti Method’s sincere connection to traditional lineages and spiritual communities in India includes our association with Govardhan Ecovillage, the ashram home of Radhanath Swami.
The Journey Home is Radhanath Swami’s inspiring story in which a search for God and Guru led the young American teen from Europe to India on foot, where he faced challenges, met treasured friends, and ultimately created the very place where you will travel for your own profound transformation.

about this training?
about this training?
I think India is the best place for learning Yoga. Being in GEV helps me to feel what Bhakti is actually means. A lot of devotees, Maharaj, kirtans. I couldn't imagine a better place.
The location was just the best I could have dreamed of. Food was nice, service was nice. Would definitely come back.
Incredible teaching - an enormous volume of new complex material to cover
