From the Everyday to the Supreme:
The secret to the fulfillment of life lies hidden in plain sight...

Based on a classical tantric text from the Kashmiri tradition (the Pratyabhijna-hrdayam, or "Heart of Recognition"), this seminar will teach us how to recognize the most extraordinary supreme consciousness in the midst of the most ordinary processes. Starting with an expansive understanding of the unfolding of consciousness in the universe and offering the key to the understanding and experience of supreme reality, the seminar will culminate with several powerful techniques for the expansion of consciousness. Ultimately, this tradition teaches that the unfolding of the inner energy brings about the attainment of supreme bliss right within your own heart.

This seminar combines the most sublime philosophy and wisdom with the most powerful and relevant practices. Come join us as we celebrate the miracle of consciousness in our lives.

Carlos Pomeda
With over 35 years of experience, Carlos Pomeda (formally Swami Gitananda) received formal, traditional training in yoga during almost 18 years as a monk of the Sarasvati order, 9 of which he spent in India, in the Siddha Yoga Ashram. During this time he learnt the various systems of Indian Philosophy and immersed himself in the practice of yoga. He combines this traditional training with an academic background as well, having earned two Masters' degrees: one in Sanskrit from UC Berkeley and another one, in Religious Studies, from UC Santa Barbara. As a teacher, Carlos is known for his love of the Indian yoga traditions, his insight, his humor, his deep empathy with his audiences and his ability to convey the deepest scriptural teachings in a way that is clear, meaningful and applicable. Studying with Carlos is a truly delightful and enlightening experience.

She is not rigid in her teaching and she is very careful to make sure that you are getting the most out of every class she teaches.
