The Inherent Joy of Life: Unique Reading of Bhagavad Gita

Online course. September 27, 28, October 3, 4 and 5, 9 – 11am.

Where can we draw inspiration for our yoga practice? And where can we turn to for advice?

In India, these questions have often been answered in the form of the Bhagavad Gita, one of the foundational texts of the yoga tradition. Written in a simple style, yet profound; inspiring, yet practical, the Gita has shown for generations and generations of yogis and seekers the key to the integration of yoga into our daily lives.

In its pages we will see how love, knowledge and action can be the very means by which we access the highest experience. By offering various approaches, the Gita shows how to infuse with meaning, depth and joy not only our practice, but the rest of our lives as well.

In this seminar we will tap into the vitality of this classic, and we will do so by drawing from a unique understanding, guided by the masterful commentary of Abhinavagupta. Even if you have read or studied the Gita before, the insights contained in this commentary are exceptional.

About Carlos Pomeda

Originally from Madrid, Spain, Carlos has been steeped in all aspects of the yoga tradition during more than 40 years of practice and study. He spent 18 of those years as a monk of the Saraswati order, including 9 years of traditional training and practice in India.

During this time he learned the various systems of Indian Philosophy and immersed himself in the practice of yoga, becoming one of the senior monks of the tradition and teaching meditation and philosophy to tens of thousands of students around the world. He combines this experience and traditional training with his academic background, which includes two Masters Degrees: one in Sanskrit, from U.C. Berkeley (where he has taught) and another one, in Religious Studies, from U.C. Santa Barbara.

As a teacher, Carlos is renowned for the breadth of his knowledge and the clarity with which he conveys it. His great love of the Indian yoga traditions, his insight, his humor and his deep connection with his audiences give him the ability to transmit the deepest scriptural teachings in a way that is clear, meaningful and applicable. Studying with Carlos is an enjoyable and transformative experience.

“Here’s a man who can be trusted to cut through the usual window- dressing of yoga and give me the real goods... a heavyweight... without being heavy, he has a jaw-dropping range of knowledge.”

Richard Rosen, Senior Reviewer, Yoga Journal

“What impresses me as much as his clarity and depth of knowledge is his embodiment of the teachings. He teaches with a contagious humility and graciousness that encourages learning and draws you into your own process of discovery and love of the tradition.”

Leela Miller, Director of Yoga at Triyoga (London)
