Knockin' On The Heart's Door: A Bhakti Yoga Weekend Retreat For Yoga Teachers
Guided by Sean Johnson with The Wild Lotus Band

Even the most passionate of yoga teachers go through periods where it feels like our inspiration is drying up. This weekend retreat is designed for teachers seeking to recharge and refresh our practice and teaching through the gifts of Bhakti Yoga, the art of the heart.  We will spend three days joyfully cultivating a deeper relationship with the Muses through ecstatic interactive chanting, dancing, storytelling, mythology, bhaktiful asana practice with live music, journaling, mystical poetry, and enchanting kirtan with Sean, percussionist Gwendolyn Colman, and bass player Alvin Young.  Includes chanting and basic harmonium lessons with Sean; rhythm and drumplay with Gwendolyn;  an exploration of the archetypes of gods and goddesses and guidance on how to bring more bhakti into your life, practice, and teaching. Please come ready to play with magic markers, sketchbook, a journal, and one or more special objects for creating a community altar.

Kirtan artist and yoga teacher Sean Johnson is the founder of Wild Lotus Yoga in New Orleans as well as Soul School, an interdisciplinary yoga and spirituality teacher training program that focuses on bringing soul and imagination to the art of teaching yoga.
