The Virtues of Not Reacting
Every defeat in your life is based on your reaction. Everyone wants to be a star. What happened to us? We started burning each other, instead of removing the darkness of those who have less light. Your actions and your identity should be responsible to help others whether they deserve it or not, whether they believe in you or not, whether they like you or not, whether they talk to you or not and whether they frown at you or smile at you.
Looking forward to seeing you and reconnecting at the British Kundalini Yoga Festival from Tuesday 28 May to Sunday 2 June. I’ll be teaching a Women’s Workshop on Wednesday afternoon 14.15 to 16.45pm and an Open Class on Saturday morning 10 am to 12 midday.

Sadhana is self-enrichment. It is not something which is done to please somebody or to gain something. Sadhana is a personal process in which you bring out your best.

Heart of the Female Warrior, 17–22 August 2013, Le Martinet, France, EUR 540
The archetype of the female warrior is ancient. She is not equal to the notion of the manly female, as it has been defined by feminism. And she is not equal to the adolescent fantasy of the sexy seductress we now see in movies and video games.
She has her own identity, and we all carry something of her in us. But who is she? And can we give shape to her? How do we manifest the heart of the female warrior in our own lives?

Eveil de Soi, 9–16 August 2013, Le Martinet, France, EUR 565 inclusive
There is a path to fully engage with life. It is demanding: we must build a Self that does not depend on what we like or dislike. We are born with a worldly personality (ego) and a spiritual personality (soul), not with a Self. Eveil de Soi, which means Awakening the True Self, is about finding the door to true life, beyond the polarities of the ordinary world.
As an exceptional human being, Nelson Mandela is an example of the quality we want to align with. He demonstrated that it is possible to rise above any situation.
“I am the master of my Destiny, I am the captain of my Soul.”
This week is a singular opportunity for a breakthrough. Hundreds of people have experienced it as a turning point. We invite you to face the time and get real. Physical regeneration and cleansing, sacred kriyas, breath work, intense meditations, a shamanic journey and Leela, the game of life, will help you to enter a space where genuine joy and peace can emerge.
Karta Singh and a team of experienced teachers will guide you in your personal process.
