“My time at the Hridaya Yoga Center cracked my heart open. I felt held, seen, and loved…by myself but also by everything around me. This place is one of the most special ones I have ever been in contact with. I am so thankful for everything that happened there, and am still processing it.”
“A magical spot for awakening your spirit! I never liked yoga and after 3 short weeks I am in love with it, I feel it more deeply, I understand what it is for and how to use it properly and It is helping me heal! Yoga and meditation in Hridaya is a MUST if you are lost on your journey. Cannot recommend it enough!”
“This place is very special. For the first time, I had the feeling that I had arrived, that I was at home. It really felt like my soul, my innermost being, was at home here. The people are so special, and it is impressive how they shape, inspire, and enchant this place. The Module 1 Intensive has changed my life; it has shown me what is possible when I stand up for myself and follow the call of my heart. I have had a new family who love me and see who I really am and who I can just be with.”
“I am beyond grateful to have experienced the transformational experience of Module 1. From the incredible teachers, who clearly are dedicated to their path and have profound wisdom via personal experience, to the container they created for the course, it was the most potent retreat I have ever taken. I am forever changed and forever grateful.”
“Just dive in—just do it. It was incredible.”
“Next to countless moments during the lectures and the Hatha Yoga practice, I experienced the most inspiring moments in the intimate conversations with other participants, the sangha, and particularly with the teachers. At Hridaya, you really feel that the Spiritual Heart is not only a concept, it is lived by everyone, and that makes the place the most authentic example of love, compassion, and service.”
“This module has been the most transformative experience of my life.”
“I went there thinking we would do 4 hours a day of yoga and learn a little bit about the history and philosophy, and I came out a better human being. I do not know how to express my gratitude for the experience in words... The teachers, the teachings, the food, the practice, the people I've met... I think these have been the best 3 weeks of my life. Hridaya made me feel at home, which is something I have not felt for so many years, and I am sad to be back in the real world.”
“I found this course to be a wonderful overview of a valuable new way of life. It was inspiring, informative, and life-changing. It has further revealed to me the importance of ‘watching’ the mind and not getting hijacked by it. It has opened my eyes to new ways of being.”
“In my heart, so much resonates with this school and the course. It has explained to me my past experience and lit the way from the mind to the heart even brighter, with more practicality than I had before… Now, I have opened the infiniteness of my heart. I have felt it, and this openness cannot be closed anymore. This depth of silence in my being, it impressed me.”
“The Module 1 course is a beautiful introduction to Hridaya’s system of coherently integrating Hatha Yoga, philosophy, and heart-centered contemplation practices. Dedicated and experienced teachers offer their wisdom and guidance via a spiritual container that is as rewarding and challenging as the student wishes it to be. Whether you are new to yoga or coming from deeper practice and experience in other schools of yoga, this system seems like it has a lot to offer as personal practice evolves.”
“Beginners to advanced, this course is for an open and thirsty heart.”
“I absolutely loved it... The impact I've experienced is multi-dimensional. I feel clearer. I feel lighter. I feel loved. My body feels healthy, my mind less burdened.”
“It was a life-changing experience. The course was built in a way that naturally allowed freedom, change, and joy to surface.”
“Coming here was the best decision I’ve made for myself in a long time. Over the course of less than a month, I learned innumerable tools to apply towards living a healthier, more focused, balanced, and spiritual life. Beyond the value of the coursework, I’m immensely grateful for the community that supported my personal transformation here.”
“With no previous yoga experience, the course layout and material provided a strong foundation for my future personal practice.”
“The course was simply wonderful as it goes straight to the heart of spiritual practice—meditation. The course offers a path to transcendence from suffering and has a deep intelligence, drawing on the deeper teachings of yoga.”
“A great introduction to spirituality and yoga. Extremely inspirational and life-changing.”
“Amazing, inspiring, uplifting, purifying, energizing, heart-opening, healing, illuminating!”
“I really enjoyed the whole course experience. I feel very blessed for having been able to be here. I enjoyed the classes, the lectures, the discussion groups, the conversations, and the spirit of the people here—it is beautiful and amazing how much I’ve learned from everyone I’ve met here.”
“I didn’t know that yoga covered so many, if not all, aspects of our life, of our being. I am amazed by how the teacher team put all these things together to present them to us. It was a lot of information to process, but fluid and smooth at the same time. I also found a coherence between the content of the teaching and the way they were taught. This helps a lot to create an atmosphere of trust. I haven’t attended such a quality course for a while. I am now carrying a strong basis with me and a clear plan for the next steps.”
“Although I came with the hope that doing this course would take away some of my crippling anxiety, I was surprised by what happened instead. It helped me realize something greater than just trying to get rid of my fears. I was able to learn a new way of relating to them, having a better understanding of how my mind works, and received new tools I could take with me on my journey. The experience has truly marked me, just being open to the process, trusting myself, and following what resonated most. I cannot say enough about the wonderful teachers, as well as all the hardworking staff here.”

Yes. The Module 1 course meets for 18 days. Each day includes two Hatha Yoga classes, an optional hour of meditation, and an evening lecture. The program is designed both to stretch your body and to expand your consciousness.
Although the schedule is intensive, the Hridaya approach is contemplative. Asana sessions are designed to promote relaxation and happiness rather than effort or strain. Because of this, Hridaya Hatha Yoga is perfect for all levels of practitioners, and every student is encouraged to honor the limits of their physical body while going deeper in awareness.

While we honor each student's background, we require that everyone starts with Module 1 in order to ensure a comprehensive understanding of traditional Hatha Yoga theory and practice, Self-Inquiry meditation, and the Hridaya approach.
Hridaya teachers also have a responsibility to provide you with a proper foundation, explain fundamental yogic concepts, and gradually guide you deeper in meditation and the more advanced forms of Hatha Yoga involving the intense arousal of Kundalini Shakti.
