Bhakti isn’t about being perfect, memorizing every mantra, or following a rigid mold. It’s about opening your heart to divine awareness. It’s about showing up as you are and letting the practice evolve your every emotion and life experience.
Bhakti Yoga is a practice of meeting yourself in love, acceptance and grace. It's is also a system and technology of how to optimize your life. It's a way to connect on a daily basis to your higher self and Consciousness. This is done through mantras, deities, altars, visualizations, kri

You want a space that helps you anchor your devotion into your daily life — not just during the training, but beyond it.
You’ve experienced glimpses of bhakti… but now you’re longing for structure, consistency, and deeper embodiment. This training gives you the tools, rhythm, and support to sustain your devotional practice for the long term.
This isn’t a philosophy-heavy course. It’s direct experience — through chanting, movement, breath, ritual, and sacred community. It’s how devotion moves from idea… to integration.
Whether you’re brand new to kirtan or have been on the path for years, this is a space of non-judgment, authenticity, and sacred connection. We celebrate your unique voice and expression.
Bhakti Embodiment is a return to the living experience of the divine:
in your body, your breath, your voice, your relationships, your rituals.
Your voice is sacred. Your longing is valid. Your practice matters.
This training will help you move through resistance and into confidence, clarity, and creativity.
If you're contemplating this journey and seek clarity, I invite you to a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Reach out to me at AnandaDasEvents@Yahoo.com.

My greatest joy is helping others awaken their voice, deepen their practice, and anchor their devotion into a meaningful, daily rhythm that supports the heart and soul.
As you may know, I'm a seasoned kirtan leader, yoga teacher, and founder of the Modern Bhakti Yoga Academy. For over 15 years, I've been guiding others in devotional practice through mantra, music, movement, and sacred ritual. With 17 mantra albums released and a global community of students, I've seen how powerful this path becomes when it’s truly embodied. I don’t just teach bhakti — I live it.
“Best training I've ever done! Truly encapsulated the meaning of embodiment with the flow from morning asana, to japa meditation, space and time to integrate, and rounded out with ritual and musical merriment. The depth of knowledge and skill Ananda Das has in sharing these teachings is priceless!” Laura Erickson (Founder of Kula Yoga Festival and Owner of Kula Yoga Studio & Yoga Teacher)
