Lisa O’Driscoll
I feel like a kid in a candy store... These sacred texts are bringing lots of joy as they resonate. ... I will go back to the different part of this course to allow me to integrate it more fully.
Anne Archambault
I feel encouraged, I feel more courageous, and I feel empowered to continue my yoga journey in so many different ways. I am already looking forward to re-watching and re-reading!
Heather Acomb
I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed and been nourished by this course. I am new to doing yoga regularly, absolutely new to the Bhagavad Gita, and the programme has opened a wonderful new world. I have found particularly valuable the study contemplations, as they have taken me to a calm, almost magical, place and my thoughts, actions and decisions coming from that place have felt very right.
Judith Evans
I am so grateful for this opportunity and I wish this class could continue. Not to mention how uplifting it is during these uncertain times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Betty Reinhart
I have already experienced a more thoughtful response to some of my relationship challenges during this difficult time, trying to respond rather than react. Your teachings are a blessing!
Margaret Jensen
I feel so much gratitude to you both for your time, knowledge, and love. I felt these teachings in my body, mind, and soul. What a special gift you offered during this time, thank you.đź’•
Christie Fahey
Thank you so much for bringing us through the Bhagavad Gita in such an inspiring way. The contemplations stayed with me for many days, maybe it seemed like I had forgotten them, but then all of a sudden I would have a new insight, a new understanding...and I understood that all the verses, all the teachings, all the contemplations are still at work within me. As a result of these 3 weeks, I feel empowered to meet the challenges. I feel that I can be a yogi! Thank you Bill, thank you Barrie, for all that you gave us!
Alessandra di Prampero
This course has come at a perfect time for me. The 3 steps of the course over 3 weeks allowed each theme to anchor me, to align in me and has taught me to respond to everyone I engage with remembering the beauty and the goodness within me and within all. I have learned valuable lessons along the way about myself. Thank you Bill and Barrie.
Tana Jansen
With each talk, I find myself settling into a very still place within myself, into the heart, into my own essential nature. These truths of one Truth resonate in a place deeper than I know, and yet I do know that place, very well, in fact. Listening to these words of wisdom from Lord Krishna, through your insights and deep understanding, nourishes my own insight and understanding. I feel well nourished.
Jacki McCausland
I have returned to my own study of the Bhagavad Gita. Its teachings have woven themselves into my life for many years, and now many more to come with each time a fresh interpretation, nuance or focus. Thank you both, as I return to these videos again my heart is indeed lifted. Deep gratitude for the inspiration!
