The Nectar of the Gitā
ONLINE PROGRAM
A COMPREHENSIVE IMMERSION IN TEACHINGS THAT TRANSMUTE EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE INTO AN ILLUMINATIVE NECTAR
Nectar of the Gita
Practical meets Mystical | 40 hour Dive
The Gita is called a ‘nectar’ because it concentrates the most supreme teachings of the vedic tradition in one scripture, and it transmits those teachings in the most unusual context – on a battlefield. The Gitā is practical mysticism meant for those of us who seek spiritual maturation in the midst of the complexities and conflicts of worldly life. This program is offered in accordance with the tradition, not as an academic pursuit but as a profound act of love that can transform you, word by word. The teachings are made alive with profound metaphors that have been passed through the oral tradition for thousands of years and modern examples that make it personal, meaningful, and life-changing.

a note from Kaya
To study this text deeply with others is a profound act of self-love.
It opens the door for the wisdom to truly alchemize the struggles and complexities of life into joy.
The Nectar of the Gitā is taught the way this scripture was intended, with the traditional teaching methodology that is passed down orally through lineage, to bring the teaching alive and keep it modern and meaningful from generation to generation. I’ve been teaching this program since carrying my second son in my womb. Now hundreds of seekers have completed, many returning year after year, and the teachings grow within me each time. It’s an honor to share with you.
Students who assimilate these teachings come to live life itself as a yoga practice, in every moment.

What Students Say
3-PART ONLINE PROGRAM
the Nectar of the Gitā
Nectar of the Gitā Curriculum
3 SIX WEEK PARTS
Open Enrollment - join live or via recording. 40 hours of engaging content.
Part 1: The Nectar of Action
“You have choice with regard to your action, however you do not get to choose the results of your actions.”- Bhagavad Gītā, 2.47
Nov 11 - Dec 16 2022
Live Lessons on Fridays from 10am-12pm PST
In part one, we begin with learning what is the Gitā and then gain context with an inspired retelling of the Mahābharata. Then we explore chapters 1-6 which unpack the human predicament, the supreme human potential, and how to transmute every action of life into a yogic action of spiritual maturation and discovery.
Part 2: The Nectar of Love
“The vision of the the divine is that it is not distinct from the individual. You and God are one limitless awareness” – Swami Tadatmānanda
Jan 6 - March 10, 2023
Live Lessons on Fridays from 10am-12pm PST
In part two, we explore chapters 7-12. What is the nature of the divine? What is God, really, and how can we relate to that supreme eternal reality if we choose to? Does yoga require belief? What influences our lives? What happens at the moment of death? What is the role of faith? Is the divine here and now, or beyond, or both? And how do we engage in an authentic relationship with all of this?
Part 3: The Nectar of Knowledge
“Nothing is more desirable than this knowledge which is both good for you and delicious, like nectar.” – Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati
March/April 2023 {dates TBA}
In part 3, we delve into a profound understanding of the mind from the vedic viewpoint. We explore those characteristics which obstruct spiritual growth and those virtues which make us available for maturation and enlightenment. Chapters 13-18 of the Gitā offer ethical and lifestyle insights and a layered understanding of the conditions of mind that affect every moment and thought.
**I LOVE live attendance where possible! Also, about 65% of class participants join via recording and still have lots of opportunities to ask questions and participate in dialogue with me and the other students through our online sangha forum.**
