40 CEU hours for Yoga Teachers & Yoga Therapists

“The Gītā is unique because it concentrates the most supreme teachings of yoga and the upanishads in one place – this is why it is traditionally referred to as a nectar. It is also unique because it delivers those teachings not to a monk on an isolated mountaintop, but to a householder  in the midst of the conflict and complexities of life. The Gita is whole, complete, comprehensive. Its study is not an intellectual pursuit of ‘philosophy’ but a deep act of love meant to directly transform your life word, by word.” ~ Kaya

I highly recommend Kaya and her Nectar of the Gita. I listen to the recordings again and again because they are so rich and there is so much to reflect on. For me this has seriously been the most authentic & helpful training!! Highly recommend it to get a better understanding on your spiritual search!

Kaya, I am blown away by your ability to anchor these teachings in lived experience and transmute them in ways that aren't watered down. I've studied the Gita formally under other teachers and none landed the way this did. Thank you!
Kelsey DelaneYoga Therapist
Thank you so much for the gift of these sacred teachings. You have had such an incredible impact on my life. You radiate incredible confidence, wisdom, and kindness. In my time studying with you I have felt myself mature, but even more special to me, I've felt that I am beginning to mature as a teacher of yoga as well. I have so very much to learn, but having a teacher like you gives me great excitement to continue studying and following this path. Thank you for everything you have done for me, I am so grateful.
SoniaYoga Teacher
I am so glad I signed up for this program. The teachings are fascinating and so relevant for our modern world. I love the way you teach and make it so digestible. Amazing course!
JoanaLawyer
I just wanted to drop a line, and say Thank you! This program has been such a joy unfolding. It puts words to so many things that I’ve felt and known in my heart about reality. I love the way you teach, unpacking every line and utilizing metaphors. I actually took a whole course on the Bhagavad Gita previously where nothing was illuminated and I couldn’t understand it. I can’t wait for the next part of the course!

a note from Kaya

Like a mother who alleviates the suffering of her child, Bhagavad Gītā offers the remedy for the struggle of life. Prayed to as the divine mother, the Bhagavad Gītā nourishes its listeners with the nectar we crave ~ a clear explanation of the human condition, an inspired, but practical, means to unbreakable happiness in the midst of life.

 

 

While many Yoga students and teachers have some introductory or book-based exposure to the Bhagavad Gītā, few in the West have received the in-depth teachings that are needed to truly unpack, digest, and apply the wisdom. Many are left with feel-good affirmations and quotes that don’t create meaningful transformation or awakening. To study this text deeply opens the door for the wisdom to truly alchemize the struggles and complexities of life into joy.

 

Yoga teachers are often looking for a “yoga philosophy” program. This course satisfies that desire, and far beyond. It is comprehensive, and delivers truly deeply. To honor the tradition fully, we don’t usually refer to it as philosophy or the “history of yoga” because this is not a dry academic pursuit, nor is it about the past. This study is a profound act of love, and these teachings are intended to be for YOU, right now, made personal and meaningful and transformative. 

When assimilated, the Gītā resolves inner pain, spiritual bypass, and painful viewpoints. Students of the Gītā come to live life itself as a yoga practice, in every moment. These teachings lay the foundation for a life of understanding the Self, the Divine and the world." - Kaya

Profound Impact

"This program had such a profound impact on my life, my relationships and my teaching. It has been absolutely invaluable. Delivered as traditional a way as possible, with storytelling and analogies that made it digestible and understandable. The technology meant I could sit back and absorb as well as re-watch, pause and take notes and integrate what was being transmitted. Kaya's teaching is humble, humorous and always held in wisdom."

Katerina

A Revelation

"Studying the Gita with Kaya has been a revelation. Finding out how rich in layers the verses are and the crucial differences in what certain words were meant to mean compared with how they are translated in the west. Finding out how applicable it is to everyone’s life. The Gītā has to be unpacked and appreciated and applied. It’s been so incredible. The revelations are endless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Kaya!"

    The Nectar of Action

    6 Weeks. Next live round July/August 2021

    The Supreme Teaching of the Self & Life as Yoga

    Learn how your life as it is can be the most profound fodder for spiritual awakening. A central teaching in the Bhagavad Gītā it that it is possible to alchemize every moment of one’s life into a process of growth and expansion.

    Learn the fundamental and profound definition of the human condition, the human potential and a true yogic life. We unpack suck topics as karma and dharma, spiritual bypass, life as yoga, the struggle and pain of inner and outer conflict, the true meaning of non-attachment, the definition of yoga and of a “yogi”,  and so much more. 

    The next live round of Nectar of Action begins July 2020.

    - Swami Tadatmānanda

    Part 2

    The Nectar of Love

    6 weeks. Next live round Oct-Nov 2021

    The Vedic Vision of Relationship with the Divine

    In this second section of the Bhagavad Gītā, we learn through the eyes of Arjuna how to understand and relate to the divine and how to discover the love of the Self as divine and the divine as one’s Self.

    Is yoga a religion? What is God really? What is devotion? How do I engage in an authentic relationship with my own divinity? What is the role of faith? Is God here and now? Or Beyond everything? Or Both? We answer these questions in a realistic and contemplative way. 

    "Nothing is more desirable than this knowledge which is both good for you and delicious, like nectar."

    - Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati

    Part 3

    The Nectar of Knowledge

    Next live 6 week round January/February 2022

    Vedic Psychology, Knowledge & Free Will

    In this third and final section of the Bhagavad Gītā, our thirst to understand the world is quenched with profound explanations about human psychology. Students grow in self-understanding of the inner obstacles of the mind that block spiritual growth and the qualities and viewpoints that cultivate awakening. We delve into understanding mental conditioning, the causes of greed and anger, and the lifestyle choices that support enlightenment. 

    This section ends with the refined concentrated nectar of the Gita – the most important teaching for living a yogic life of spiritual growth in every moment. 

    The next live round starts  January 2022, runs for six consecutive weeks.

    Each year, I donate a portion of tuition to an organization doing dharmic work in the world. This year, I am donating to Cornerstone Doula Training. They have been working to de-colonize birth, and train BIPOC and Queer doulas for decades - making natural birth and birth justice and wellbeing access to all families. More BIPOC doulas will lead to more BIPOC birth advocates, workers and midwives, creating better birth and wellness outcomes for BIPOC families. A donation from tuition was made to their project to offer full scholarships to BIPOC doulas-in-training. Special note - their founder was our Midwife!

    FAQs

    The next LIVE round is starting July 2021!

    Lessons are taught LIVE and RECORDED.

    You can attend live and or watch the recordings on your own schedule {or both}. Attending live is ideal, I love when people can attend live, but I know due to time zones, travel, work schedules it’s not always possible. If you plan to watch the recordings, set aside a dedicated time each week.

    It is okay if you have to arrive late or leave early from the live classes.

    Recordings arrive in the online course pages within 24 hours. 

    Joining live is simple. All classes are held on Zoom. You join with one click from a mobile device or a computer. You’ll need an internet connection to join live or watch/listen later.

    You’ll receive weekly emails & reminders to join the zoom classroom and access the recording.  A few hours before each class you’ll receive a “Click to Join” email. You can also click to join from right inside the program site.

    All recordings will be found for participants when you login at www.yogawithkaya.com/login 

    In keeping with the Vedic tradition style of teaching, there is little to no required preparation or reading. I follow my teachers’ approach in unfolding the teachings in real time in relationship with students. Once you register for the program you’ll find suggested optional texts, because students usually ask. As each week unfolds there may be enriching articles, videos and interviews following each lesson, but I suggest you experience coming to the lessons with an empty cup!
     

    Within 24 hours you’ll receive a link to the recording via email. You’ll access everything from the dedicated Nectar of the Gita program site.

    Each lesson is about 90 minutes of lecture followed by Q&A.

    If you’re trying to minimize screen time, just listen as an audio course. The video is there to make it a little more engaging for people who are more visual.

    Yes! The nature of the class is a 90-minute lecture followed by time for Q&A. There is also a way to type Qs into the course content, and I will respond to them on the page, or in subsequent live classes.
