BHAVANA - A sacred sound immersion with Paula Andreewitch and Rebecca Hajek
Bhavana refers to a devotional place, and in the practice of Bhakti yoga and sacred sound we collectively cultivate that space as we gather our voices and hearts into presence and love.

Paula and Rebecca will share their decades of experience through a rich variety of practices all aimed at supporting our practice and understanding of Bhakti practices as pathways to presence. We will enquire into this multi faceted practice through exploring:
The philosophical context of Kirtan as a practice of Bhakti yoga

Voice activation through awareness and movement
Authentic Expression & Embryology of the voice
Stories of the Deities: Chai & Chat under the willow tree

In this 3-hour masterclass, you will be immersed in yoga teacher trainers Rebecca Hajek and Bruce Chung’s complementary approaches to the yoga practice. Sound alongside silence and space, dharma coupled with movement precision, energetic expansion meets physical potential.
The familiar becomes the unconventional, the expected becomes the unusual, and you will renew your practice in a playful and unapologetic manner.
Play in the polarities of physicality and spirituality, fierce presence and soft awareness, movement and stillness.
