“Having attended Kundalini Yoga classes 20 years ago for some time, I practiced some Hatha yoga asanas for myself during the last years. Before traveling to India, I thought it would be a good idea to join a yoga classes at Amma’s ashram and learn yoga in an authentic way. I expected to learn some new asanas and combine them with mantras because that is what I knew about Amrita Yoga. But instead of just learning new asanas, I got a completely different experience. Starting from very subtle perception in asanas, I found myself diving into a deep spiritual experience for the whole 4 days. I felt my heart expanding from day-to-day, being deeply rooted and centered. Through Amrita Yoga, I got a little glimpse how far Hatha Yoga is able to lead you: every movement of the body as a prayer, as an expression of devotion to the divine, a subtle way to perform Bhakti. I am very grateful to the instructor, the assistants and, of course, to Amma for this initiation into a deeper understanding of what Yoga can be.” – Bert, Germany
