“Devotion is a way of being, it’s not something you do. It’s dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.”
~ Krishna Das, kirtan artist
Perfect for Anyone Who Wants to Bring in More Calm and Trust into Their Lives
– Available All Year Round Starting Monday / Thursday –
Bhakti yoga is the yoga of devotion, and the path of Love.
The path of Love allows us to be in the flow of Life through bliss and joy. However, the path of Love is not always easy. In life, our hearts get broken again and again, through hurts, disappointments, betrayals, and we lose faith in others, in the Universe and in ourselves.
With Bhakti yoga practice, we can learn to ask the Universe for help, to pick up the broken pieces of our hearts, and to continue on receiving and nourishing ourselves with love even if we feel like we hit rock bottom.
What is the practice of Bhakti Yoga?
In our Bhakti Yoga practice, we will be repeating and chanting mantras. Mantra is a Sanskrit word that means “tool of the mind and a sacred formula”. Every sound of a mantra can elicit a certain vibration, represented by the divine qualities of a deity. As we repeat the same sound over and over, we can harmonize our energy with the same frequency.
By sharing the stories of these deities, we can apply their wisdom to our daily lives, embracing both the light and shadow side of ourselves, allowing ourselves to return to wholeness.
We find meaning and hope again as we devote and infuse love in everything we do. The Universe (or Divine or however you name this bigger presence) is always here to support us no matter what. We are never meant to walk this journey alone. And through devotional chanting and singing, we find our way back to Love again.
What is this Study Group about?
In our Bhakti Yoga study groups, we will be exploring and experiencing the energies of Hindu deities through meditation, chanting, kirtan, storytelling, journaling, reflective sharing and other self-discovery exercises.
As we learn about the divine qualities of these deities through their stories and mantras, we invite their loving presence into our lives. Every deity represents certain qualities, and so when we chant and sing their Divine names, we awaken these same qualities within us.
No previous experience with chanting or meditation is required. Please also note that our study group is not affiliated with any religion and we do not perform any worshipping rites. What we do is to respectfully invite the deities’ loving presence.
Who are we studying?
In general we will be focusing on the stories and mantras of the Hindu deities who are associated with the Indian yoga tradition. However, we do include chanting mantras of other spiritual traditions, such as Buddhist, Tibetan, Christian mantras, whenever suitable.
Hindu Deities / topics that we may study include:
- Ganesha: Lord for Remover of Obstacles
- Saraswati: Goddess of Creativity and Insight
- Durga: Goddess of Courage and Strength
- Kali: Goddess of Radical Change and Rebirth
- Lakshmi: Goddess of Abundance and Beauty
- Parvati: Goddess of Devotion and Sacred Partnership
- Shiva: God of Eternal Destruction and Pure Conscious Awareness
- Hanuman: Lord of Devotion and Service from the Heart
- Sita Ram: Goddess of Selfless and Unconditional Love
- Radhe Krishna: Goddess of Romantic Longing and Passion
This program is setup so that we will be focusing on studying one Hindu deity / one topic every 3 days. If you would like to explore multiple topics within a shorter period of time, it is also possible but we won’t be delving as deep. Please discuss with Tania your intention first and we can decide together.
If this is a private program, you can let Tania know in advance if there is a particular topic that you resonate with so she can plan ahead. You can also leave it open and let Tania decide what feels most suitable for you based on your intention.

“Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself.
It’s an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it’s a way of being present in the moment.”
~ Krishna Das, kirtan artist
- The Soul Retreat Program allowed me to safely step out of my comfort zone and be totally vulnerable. I learnt so many new tools to add to my personal development toolbox. Many of which I may never have even tried unless I enrolled in this program. Tania allowed me to feel safe and dive within myself to find joy at a whole new level. My soul will forever be grateful for the energy Tania and I shared.Adam M., Australia
- I cannot thank you enough for the Soul Retreat Programme. It was like having a long cool drink in a desert. A much-needed pause. Learning new skills including chanting, meeting my spirit guide on a shamanic journey, morning pages and the fire release ceremony. Museflower worked its magic. I leave a different person. More centered, de-stressed, with (hopefully) a much higher vibration.Sally F., UK
- The Soul Retreat Program with Tania is a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with your spirituality. At your own pace, you will discover parts of yourself that you didn’t know you had and it is truly an awakening.Tania L., Singapore
- The Soul Retreat Program is a powerful experience for anyone on a spiritual path who is looking to learn new horizons and ways to establish beautiful connections with their spiritual support team and their own.Nuria A., Paris
- One word I would use to describe this retreat program and Museflower in general is nourishment. I felt welcomed and taken care of night from the moment I stepped onto the property. Sessions with Tania were also nourishing. There was a good balance between learning or being given information, supportive space to share and understand and opportunities to integrate and apply. I would definitely recommend coming to a retreat at Museflower, especially if you would like to feel nurtured and leave with a sense of being filled up and nourished.Roxanne B., Canada
- Having completed the Soul Retreat program, I do not only feel more relaxed, but have learned to be truly grateful for everything in my life – big and small. I am more appreciative of nature, kinder towards myself and towards others, feel significantly more grounded and more in control of my own thoughts and emotions. The Soul Retreat Program has helped me to focus less on past experiences and to feel more optimistic and upbeat about the future. I can’t wait to put all of the daily techniques I have learnt into practice, and to reap the benefits of living more in the present moment. Thank you.Grant R., South Africa
This is a study group program since we are bringing a curious mind to explore and experience the qualities of the deities and how we relate to them. This is a fun way to experiment if this sort of meditation approach fits you and can be built upon as your own spiritual practice.
This Bhakti Yoga study group program serves as an “add-on” for guests who are looking to explore a meditation practice with mantras, chanting and mudras. The price only includes the program itself, and additional bonuses such as private soul card reading with Tania and an online monthly gathering to support your journey.
Our Museflower Yoga Retreat is an all-inclusive retreat package that includes accommodation, meals, yoga and meditation classes, spa treatments, holistic sessions and roundtrip airport transfer. You can join the “Mantra + Mudra” workshop and kirtan class offered on our wellness activity schedule as an introduction to experience Bhakti Yoga practice.
This program is absolutely suitable for beginners! In fact it is designed FOR beginners, so you do not need any experience of yoga or meditation to join. All you need is an open mind and an open heart.
This depends on your beliefs and views. However, we do not perform any worshipping rites to the deities in this program. Remember this is only a study group for you to explore something new.
What we do is to simply invite the energies of what these deities represent into our lives to help and support us. For example, Ganesha is the lord for removing obstacles. As we open our hearts to chant Ganesha’s name, we are aligning ourselves with this frequency of removing obstacles. This quality of wisdom is already within us, and this practice helps to put a spotlight on it.
The Divine (or call it as Universe, Source, Creator, God, Goddess, Nature, Spirit, or the Intelligence surrounding us), is formless. It can be difficult to grasp what Divine really means without a form.
I believe the Divine manifests into different forms. Each form is like an ice cream flavor. If I were to describe how ice cream tastes like to someone who never has ice cream before, words are limiting. Only when the person actually takes a bite into the ice cream, would that person understand how it tastes.
And there are so many ice cream flavors! The energy and qualities of each deity, saint, spiritual teacher, angel, Goddess and God are like different ice cream flavors. Some will prefer to stick with vanilla. Some like to eat a sundae with multiple ice cream flavors. There is no wrong way to enjoy. And Bhakti Yoga provides us a way to connect with the Divine directly in our own way.
