Sukha Yoga is proud to be the only studio in Austin—from our Tarrytown/West Austin location, East Austin to South Austin/Oltorf—to offer immersive Bhakti and harmonium trainings and expert led experiences.

Bhakti yoga is the yoga of devotion, a path of practice rooted in mantra, chant, kirtan, and sacred sound. It is one of the oldest and most accessible paths in the yoga tradition, requiring no physical flexibility and no prior musical training. It asks only that you show up and open your heart.

Kirtan is the call-and-response style of devotional chanting practiced in community. Mantra is the sacred sound itself — the syllables, names, and phrases drawn from Sanskrit and the Bhakti tradition. In this training you will learn both: the mantras themselves and how to share them with others through kirtan.

This weekend is part of a full Bhakti learning pathway at Sukha Yoga. Students who want to continue can join our Seasonal Chant Camps (Beginner, Continuing, and Advanced), and those called to lead can apply for our annual Kirtan Leadership Training each June. Every step builds on the last.

If you are attending in person, we have a limited number of harmoniums available to share during the weekend. If you are joining us online, you will need access to your own instrument to practice the chords. If you are looking to purchase one before the training begins, please reach out and we can provide our trusted vendor recommendations!

Yes! We know life happens. All weekend sessions are recorded and uploaded to the student portal. Both in-person and online students receive access to these recordings for [Insert Timeframe, e.g., 6 months/lifetime], so you can revisit the chants and review the fingerings at your own pace.

This immersion is structured to meet you where you are and take you deeper. We provide a path for students to explore various roles, from supporting a group with steady rhythm to leading sacred mantra with confidence. Throughout the weekend, we emphasize collaborative learning—offering advanced instruction for experienced practitioners while ensuring beginners feel supported to find their unique voice. This is your opportunity to gain the technical refinement and introduce the leadership presence needed to share the power of mantra, chanting, and harmonium within your own community.

Yes. We host an annual 5-Day Bhakti & Harmonium Leadership Training each June, drawing practitioners from across the country to our Austin, Texas community.

Whether you are traveling from across the U.S. or joining us from within Texas, this is the definitive path for dedicated students who wish to share the Bhakti tradition with their own communities.
