Yoga classes at Krishna Village
The Sanskrit word “Yoga” means “to connect” or “to link”. For thousands of years, different yoga traditions have been practiced with the intention of connecting our true self (the spirit soul) to the Divine (Krishna).
Among these different paths, at the Krishna Village we practice three: physical yoga asanas (connection through body movement) and practical karma koga (connection through service and discipline of action) which both complement and support the highest form, bhakti yoga (connection to through love and devotion).
This Week's Yoga Schedule
schedule 22nd of April
Classes for retreat guests & volunteers
In our yoga hall, we usually teach two yoga classes per day for all our retreat guests and volunteers.
The main style is Vinyasa Flow, but since we often welcome visiting teachers from all over the world, we often get Hatha, Yin other styles mixed in.
Our gentle sunrise yoga classes take place Sun-Fri from 5am - 6am and on Sat from 6:30am - 8am. They provide a relaxed and centered start to the day. The more dynamic afternoon yoga classes take place Mon-Sat from 4pm – 5:30pm. After the class you are invited to join us for a delicious vegetarian dinner at 6pm and to participate in the evening arati at the temple (a 30min kirtan), if you like.
In addition, we offer classes and workshops exclusively for retreat guests. Please refer to the above weekly yoga schedule.
All classes are targeted at beginners, with additional options being given to more advanced students. The classes are facilitated by our lead teachers Lila Kirtana and Laxmivan Kubitzky, our international guest teachers, and on some occasions, by our yoga teacher trainees who teach under supervision as part of their mentoring process. As a Krishna Village retreat guest or volunteer, classes are free for you. If you come along as a casual visitor, you can pay $10 for a casual class at reception, or purchase a Day Pass for $45 and attend all classes as well as 3x vegetarian meals/day.
