With Kamini Desai, Ph.D and Gurudev Shri Amritji
August 4 - 8, 2027
Amrit Yoga Institute
Spirit at Work Bringing the Wisdom of Yoga into the World of Work What if your greatest professional asset is not your time, your knowledge, or your productivity, but your life energy? When we are driven by fear, pressure, comparison, lack, or unconscious patterns, we may still achieve, but the cost can be enormous. When awareness and spiritual principles are brought into daily life, we have the possibility of acting with greater clarity, responding rather than reacting, listening more deeply, conserving energy, and making decisions from a more integrated state. The underlying premise is simple: the quality of our outer action is profoundly influenced by the state of consciousness from which that action arises. What is Spirit At Work? Through Yoga Nidra™, I AM Yoga®, reflective exercises, and new teachings specifically applied to the workplace, this retreat offers time and space to step back, take stock, and explore the relationship…
