Bhakti Yoga is a heart-centered path that offers a way to meet life with greater compassion, reverence, and care. More than a set of devotional practices, Bhakti Yoga is an orientation toward living—choosing to respond from the heart, to honor the preciousness of life, and to relate to ourselves, others, and the world with kindness and respect.
Rooted in the yogic wisdom tradition and illuminated by teachings from the Bhagavad Gita, Bhakti Yoga reminds us that love itself can be a spiritual practice. In times of complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change, this path helps us steady the mind, soften the heart, and stay connected to what truly matters.
This free online summit explores how practices such as meditation, mantra, chanting, prayer, yogic study, and hatha yoga all serve as gateways into lived devotion. Through these practices, we cultivate inner steadiness while learning how devotion naturally expresses itself through compassion, ethical action, and service in the world.
Together, we will explore Bhakti Yoga not as an abstract ideal, but as a practical and embodied way of showing up—one that supports resilience, deep listening, and a more loving relationship with life itself.
