The Power of Breath: A Five-Day Pranayama Immersion

With Devarshi Steven Hartman and Gurudev Shri Amritji

April 7 - 12, 2019

Join Devarshi Steven Hartman and Yogi Amrit Desai for this unique and unforgettable combination of teachings, experiential guidance and knowledge.  For the first time, these two remarkable teachers, join their efforts and share with you their lifetime commitments to yoga practice and the power of lineage and transmission.  Devarshi was initiated by Yogi Amrit Desai as a student of yoga, almost four decades ago, and through Yogi Desai’s guidance and longtime residential ashram lifestyle, Devarshi has trained thousands of students to become yoga teachers around the country.  Yogi Amrit Desai holds the place in history of being one of the most influential teachers bringing yoga to the west with his unique understanding, style, depth skill, and illumination.  At 85, Yogi Desai’s life experience and yoga dedication is unparalleled.  He is a masterful teacher who embodies and transmits the energy of his potent loving presence and intuitive wisdom – the true product of yoga.

Together these two outstanding teachers will blend their rare experience and education, humor, story-telling, and extraordinary relationship while creating an unparalleled yoga environment for you to transform in.

You will invigorate, rejuvenate, and energize your cells and consciousness in this five-day immersion program where you will learn and practice ancient purifying pranayama techniques. Come ready to raise the roof on your prana and have your body vibrating with powerful healing energy and oxygen.  Also come ready to release emotional stagnation and reduce the effects of stress and tension, culminating in the deepest meditation experiences you have encountered so far. The clarity gained from these simple, time-proven techniques will shift the way you experience yourself and the world, and will have you break up habitual, indoctrinated, unconscious patterns that may be holding you back.

The practice of pranayama is the heart of all yoga practice.  Pranayama is the doorway to meditation, and the anchor to true presence in your body or asana practice. Through conscious breathing techniques, you form new pathways in the brain that place your Highest Self in charge of your attention able to direct your full energy into the experiences you desire.  The goal of experiencing “ATHA” (NOW) fully, without distortion, is what Patanjali says is the aim of all yoga – union with what is.  Pranayama practice is the safest, quickest way to recover the lifeforce that lies dormant or suppressed.

Yogi Desai and Devarshi will guide you through many experiences that will catapult you to the next level of yoga knowledge and experience, creating more peace, love and wisdom within.

In this training you will:

  • Learn and practice the six basic pranayama techniques that yogis have been using for centuries.
  • Learn how to combine these pranayama tools to move personal energy towards the desired result; increased energy, release, balance or calm.
  • Immerse yourself in experiencing Yoga’s ancient map of The Koshas as the pathway to personal transformation and authenticity.
  • Learn new tools for training and directing your attention to experience what you desire
  • Experience going beyond the “common” mind and ALL your belief systems to a realm of being “beyond belief”

Gurudev Shri Amritji
Gurudev Shri Amritji is the first disciple to bring the sacred teachings of the Lord Lakulish (Shiva) and Kripalu Lineage to the West in 1960. Gurudev was personally empowered to give shaktipat by his Guru Swami Shri Kripalvanada. In 1970 Gurudev experienced a spontaneous awakening of the Soul Being Presence that I AM. This was reinforced by a three month meditation retreat in silence and seclusion. He emerged as a spiritual master embodying the rare capacity to transmit profound healing and transformative prana Shakti through energetic transmission. He discovered the body is the book of secrets; it is the temple of prana Shakti, and heart is the center of Shiva consciousness. Gurudev is repeatedly honored by prestigious organizations and world-renowned authorities in the East and West.
