8-Week Online Integration Course
With Kyle & Sasha
One of the most common questions that people ask is, “how do I keep the inspiration/openness/depth of presence (etc.) that I have touched during this retreat?”
The simple answer is that you don’t keep it!
You want that depth of presence, this is a very very auspicious thing! The memory of the simplicity and peacefulness you touched into stays with you, and gently pulls at you, it calls you back to self awareness, to the heart.
Even if you “stop practising”, the longing/pain that is often felt, at least in moments, is a sign that a seed of transformation has been planted. There is nothing more precious in the entire world than the little seeds of longing and spiritual aspiration that grow within the heart.
So in a way we can say you don’t keep the stillness/peace/openness, it keeps you!
However, there is an art to feeding the fire of aspiration!

We are not looking to bring spirituality into our daily life. That would mean that spirituality is just an annex, a plug-in, and daily life is what really matters. Instead, we reintegrate daily life into spirituality. The ocean contains the waves, not vice versa.

The Updated Integration Course Curriculum Includes:
We will explore some familiar topics, such as:
Awareness of Awareness/Self Inquiry
This topic forms the basis for the entire Hridaya Yoga system and is the main practice that you explored during the Hridaya retreat.
Living With an Open Heart/Trust and Surrender
Along with Self Inquiry, learning to trust in life, and learning to surrender the emotional investment in our psychologically created image of self constitute the core teachings of Hridaya Yoga. Indeed, we can say that all of the other practices and teachings are simply about creating the conditions for this process to unfold.
And we will explore some new topics (that were neither in the retreat, nor previous versions of this course), such as:
Emotional Digestion
You will learn some simple yet practical self guided therapeutic/meditative tools you can use to navigate your way through challenging emotional experiences.
Subtle Body/Energy Body Practices
Developing a deeper, richer relationship with the world of sensorial experience as you explore the subtle body through easily meditative practices that can be developed and deepened throughout your life.
Communication From the Heart
Understand and express your own experience in a way that creates deeper connection, intimacy and beauty. Learn how to see through the sometimes less than skillful communication style of other people, and into the underlying needs and feelings.
Embodiment
Explore the body as a living and dynamic field of awareness in which the play of your life is experienced intimately and directly, without need for the second hand interpretations of the conceptual mind.
