About the Training

The most important thing to remember when working with practices of bhakti (devotion) is that we are never looking outside ourselves to find wholeness. Instead, we turn to the archetypes of the Hindu devas and devīs to recognize their qualities—seemingly hidden, yet already alive within us. Rather than giving our power away, we awaken to deeper compassion, confidence, and courage by seeing our own reflection in the form of the divine.

The Deity Within is a 7-day online training program open to all levels of students interested in the mythological stories of Hindu deities and their relevance to daily sādhana (practice) and life.

Over the course of the week, we’ll explore 12 deities, studying 2–3 deities per session through an integrated blend of lecture, group discussion, dhyāna (meditation), mantra, and āsana practice, each dedicated to a specific deity.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of:

• Trimūrti — The Male Trinity: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva

• Tridevī — The Female Goddesses and consorts of the Trimūrti: Sarasvatī, Lakṣmī, and Pārvatī

• Devatā Itihāsa (Deity Mythology): Historical stories of how the deities came into manifestation

• Mūrti Śāstra (Iconography): The symbolic and physical representations of the deities

• Mantra Śāstra: How to invoke specific deities for specific intentions or transformations

This training is designed for all practitioners—new or seasoned—who wish to deepen their philosophical understanding and experience the roots of yoga beyond the physical.

The only requirements are dedication and receptivity.

Practice Lineages + Approach

Throughout the week, you’ll be guided through thoughtfully crafted practices that honor and weave together various yoga traditions, including Katonah, Kuṇḍalinī, Dharma, Aṣṭāṅga, and Ghoṣa lineages.

This is an opportunity to explore the higher limbs of yoga (aṣṭāṅga-yoga) in a supportive, interactive, and heart-centered community environment.

These are the tools that I’ve returned to again and again over the past decade—ones that have helped me cultivate a more coherent sādhana and a more easeful, loving life.
