Weekend of Yoga - Meeting with Siddhartha Ji

I'm excited to invite you for the meeting with a special guest, who spent his last 12 years in a himalayan hermitage. For the first time, the renowned master of Yoga pays a visit to Iceland from his native India to conduct a special course, showing You the essence of yoga, in its original, philosophical and spiritual sense.

About our Guest:
Siddhartha Krishna was raised in the family tradition of Yoga. He was educated at the Kailas Ashram Brahma Vidya Pitha, a monastery focusing on the teaching of Vedanta whose name is related to well known scholars and Masters such as Swami Vivekananda (founder of the Ramakrishna Mission), Swami Ramatirtha (founder of the Ramatirtha Mission), Swami Tapovan (Master of Swami Chinmayananda, founder of the Chinmaya Mission), and Swami Sivananda (founder of the Divine Life Society). Later, he taught courses on Sanskrit grammar and Indian philosophy at the same monastery, and also edited their publications on Vedanta. In his further study he has specialized on Veda and Yoga philosophy as well and has published translations of and commentaries on Sanskrit texts. Siddhartha also writes columns in the quarterly magazine Australian Yoga Life and the Chinese Yoga Journal. Currently, he teaches at the Patanjala Yoga Centre in Rishikesh, India, and as a guest instructor abroad. In his philosophical discourses he discusses the ancient yogic texts in a way which supports the more universal understanding of the Yogic wisdom and its source, the Veda, in accordance with modern intellectual thought.

*The event is non-profit for the organiser, so all of the ticket price will be allocated for the journey and stay of Siddhartha.
