“Deep within lies a real and everlasting joy. A human being is born to dive deep into the stream of life, find the hidden treasure, and attain eternal fulfillment” (Srimad Bhagavatam)
Yoga is the path to find fulfillment in not one, but two realms: the spiritual and the worldly. Your soul longs to find the peace born from merging with your source, as well as, living your best life. That is why Dharma is at the core of Yogic philosophy - each of us is unique and has a distinct and glorious purpose that we must honor and fulfill. To do so asks more of us than just achieving a healthy body and a quiet mind.

The Four Desires: Yoga of Fulfillment is a deep and practical approach to help you truly embody the highest principles of Yoga: find meaning and purpose in your life and shape it from the wisdom and calling of your highest self. Combining the enlightened wisdom of Yoga, Tantra, ancient methods of self-inquiry and self-actualization, The Four Desires: Yoga of Fulfillment guides you toward recognizing your soul's calling to greatness and empowering you to fulfill it.
During the course, we utilize Yogic methods to examine our intentions, and in the process, overcome self-defeating ideas and behavior. Based in the ultimate vision of the tradition, The Four Desires: Yoga of Fulfillment reminds us that the universe silently exhorts you to realize all of life’s treasures and to be an ever-brighter beacon of light in the world.
During our five days together we practice a diverse array of techniques including: daily Yoga and twice daily meditation sessions, visualization, Pranayama, chanting, journaling and self-inquiry exercises, contemplation, as well as, Yoga Nidra (deep physical and sub-conscious relaxation).
This is the training that Yogarupa's best selling book, The Four Desires: Creating a Life of Purpose, Happiness, Prosperity, and Freedom, is based on.
Key topics we will cover:
• Understand the role of desire in the spiritual life.
• Clarify your missions of need, pleasure, purpose, and spirit
• Access intuition, self-awareness, and omniscience
• Undo the beliefs and tendencies that sabotage fulfillment
• Learn the spiritual principles of shaping personal destiny
• Transform through deep relaxation and new life-affirming intentions
• Release the bondage of negative thinking as self-fulfilling prophecy
• Use any and all life-experiences as leverage to greater freedom
Please note: At the close of the training all participants are eligible to receive a certificate of completion. However, it is not rewarded on the basis of enrollment. Attendance at all sessions and completion of all contact hours is required. Certificates can only be issued on the basis of hours completed by the close of the training.
