Hello my Bhakti Flow Friends! I miss you very much. Please join me in Stockholm, Sweden this coming weekend for the Yoga Games - The Nordic Yoga Conference. http://www.yogagames.org It is such a joyful and amazing celebration! If that's a bit too far for you, then check out the last few spaces of the retreat to Mexico in April. It's almost full! Josh will post more info about it later today. Much love and countless blessings, Rusty ~ Gopa (come find me!)

Dear Friends,

I have a very special favor to ask.
Will you please take a moment to review my book on Amazon.com?
A five-star review would surely be nice ★★★★★

If you haven’t bought the book yet, I sure hope you will.
I’m very proud of it and I believe it has the potential to bring the practice of love and devotion to many people worldwide, especially with your kind support.

Thank you for having faith in me and this teaching!

With a love like no other,

Rusty ~ Gopa

"Bhakti Flow is a non-sectarian spiritual practice that focuses on the whole being – the body, mind, heart and song.
Although this program is ideal for yoga teacher training, it is also a leadership training course designed to help individuals tap into their abundant reservoir of inspiration so that they can help guide others towards a lifestyle of well-being and purpose.
Those who train with me (and my incomparable team) learn the language and tools of instruction along with the confidence it takes to share the teachings through their most authentic voice and in harmony with their own unique life experiences."

Thanks so much to everyone for the tremendous send-off yesterday. Wow!!!
The building AND the neighborhood are still vibrating with your love.
Thanks, too, for the incredibly sweet love notes left on our door. In fact, we will leave them there for the landlady to see when she comes to inspect the space later this morning. It'll be good that she sees how much this Home has mattered!
And on we Flow :-)

Tomorrow, join us for one last chance to chant with Jai Uttal at Urban Flow from 7:30-9:30pm. Evenings with our dear friend Jai have always been amazing, and we are looking forward to celebrating this last one with him here in our space. Come party with us!

"Embark on a vocal journey through the sacred sounds of ancient India.

Drawing from an unbroken tradition of Indian devotional singing, Jai Uttal will introduce and lead us in the ancient practice of "Kirtan" (or chanting), the heart of devotional yoga. This practice of calling to the divine creates a bridge between the individual and the eternal, opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. Sometimes soft and meditative and sometimes loud and wildly rhythmic, Kirtan takes the participant on a deep emotional and musical journey through our mostly unexplored inner world. With solo performance and call-and-response group chanting, Jai creates a space of invocation, prayer, and heartfelt expression.

Jai has been leading Kirtans worldwide for over thirty years. "These ancient chants," writes Jai, "contain a transformative power and healing energy. By singing these prayers we join a stream of consciousness and devotion that has been flowing for centuries."

No previous experience is needed. This is an exploration of the heart, independent of vocal or musical technique.

Jai Uttal, a Grammy nominated sacred music composer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and ecstatic vocalist, combines influences from India with influences from American rock and jazz, creating a stimulating and exotic multi-cultural fusion that is truly world spirit music. Having traveled extensively in India, where he met many beautiful saints and singers, Bhakti yoga became his personal path. Jai has been leading kirtans around the world for more than 30 years, creating a safe environment for people to open their hearts and voices. His new album “Return to Shiva Station,” a re-imagination of his groundbreaking recording “Shiva Station” was just released by Sounds True."
