I was on the ‘edge of my bolster’ throughout the lectures, in utter awe and delight to receive these teachings.  I loved the format. How it was repetitive but included different examples and perspectives to understand the teachings. Kaya's teaching method is super effective in general - I can’t imagine it being done better! Particularly, the weaving in of other’s teachings and what they would say in addition to her own. The biggest gain was learning about Karma yoga and the knowledge of HOW to bring yoga into everyday. I’ve seen the separation starting to fade between sitting in meditation and going about the rest of the day. I've become more clear about my place in the world as a yogi, which diffuses a lot of tension that was there before to uphold a distinction between my spiritual life and daily life. - Lauren Ziegler, Yoga Therapist and Meditation Teacher

For me, this is my second time studying the Gita. I loved that we dove deep into it and filtered it line by line. I appreciate how Kaya applies the teachings to daily examples and challenges we all face. It makes the teachings more digestible, relatable, and practical. The most important thing I gained is I now understand dharma and karma more and how they apply to everyday living in relationships, jobs, personal growth, etc. I feel like I have a better grasp of those two concepts now, and am comfortable explaining them to others. - Anonymous

Why this Bhagavād Gīta Course?

Audio Lessons + Companion Handouts
12 Lessons, 18+ Hours of Material
Turn all of LIFE into Yoga. 

You know your whole life can be yoga, but it isn't {yet}. 

​You recognize that in spite of moments of bliss and joy in your practice, your life is disjointed or misaligned. You feel amazing when you do your "practice" but when you re-enter "the rest of your life" you feel unhappy, inadequate or dissatisfied. ​

It's a problem of "spiritual bypass", so common amongst yogis. 

Sadly, quintessential teachings of the yoga tradition, found in the Bhagavād Gīta are MISSING, over-simplified or even wrongly translated in many yoga trainings and programs.  This leaves even the most experienced yogis missing tools for LIFE, stuck, and still wanting true life transformation {and leaves teachers missing teachings that would support their students}. ​

You've heard the phrase "yoga off the mat"... but whose really doing this and what doesthe yoga tradition have to say about it? 

Taught in the right way, these valuable and essential principles of the Bhagavād Gīta, make the concept of living a yogic life CLEAR and ACCESSIBLE. It is LITERALLY a guidebook for living a yogic life, but requires a trained teacher to UNPACK it for you. ​

Sadly, when recommending Gīta study to my students and teachers in training, I confronted a major gap in what was available. 

On one end of a spectrum, highly technical and traditional courses {the kind I like} that move S-L-O-W-L-Y verse by verse, parsing every Sanskrit term, over hundreds of hours; and on the other end, short talks, articles and books that offer oversimplified soundbites.

I created Bhagavād Gīta Essentials to deliver the full text in a way that is deep, yet accessible and applicable, with experienced yogis in mind. 

We do not go too slowly and risk over-intellectualizing {over-analysis leads to paralysis!} nor do we over simplify. This course is in a sweet spot of depth + engagement,  providing the most imperative teachings for living a yogic life. 

 This course is taught LIVE over 12 classes, delivered to your inbox monthly and in 18+ hours, then made available for you to and listen in again and again. That's lifetime access for a life of yoga. 

I appreciated the explanation of the essence of each chapter. Every lesson, I feel completely alive and ready for the world!  I found it helpful to study one chapter at a time to allow the teachings to percolate before going to the next. Through this course I have gained a sense of control over my life...that I am not at the mercy of my external circumstances. At the same time I have realized that some things are not in my control...difficult to practice but it is always in my awareness. Thank you. ​I'm going to study this again through the recorded lessons. Thank you Kaya! - Yvette Racines, Yoga Therapist, Teacher Trainer and Studio Owner

"The teachings of the Bhagavād Gīta are all you need to gain enlightenment. Everything is here. If you were to take one scripture with you, it would be this one. It is complete. A simple teaching of the Gīta is more than enough to remove ignorance" - Swami Tadatmānanda

In all my years of yoga, and previously trying to read the Bhagavad Gita on my own, this was the first time I was able to understand it. What I love about Kaya's teaching is the steadiness - nothing was rushed and how her passion for the teachings and knowledge was shared. - Anna Eshoo, Yoga Teacher and Studio Owner
