At the Yoga, Gatka and family camp, of course yoga is very important. Early at sunrise you have the opportunity to take part in Sadhana. The ambrosial hours are best time to do Yoga and start the day. We practise the Sadhna in the tradition of Kundalini Yoga.

Afterwards the participants join the others and enjoy their almonds and Nanaks tea.

Hatha Yoga unterrichtet Nanak Dev Singh auf dem “Melonenhügel” in der strahlenden Morgensonne. Wir nennen es “Sun Streching”. Verschiedenen Asanas lösen Blockaden, erweitern unsere Bewegungsfähigkeit und zeigen uns, wo wir klare Schwächen haben bzw. großes Potenzial, uns zu verbessern.

Nanak Dev Singh teaches Hatha Yoga on the „melon hill“ in the morning sun. We call it „sun stretching“. Various asanas free blockages, increase suppleness and let us know where we have weaknesses or areas with great potential to improve.

Shakti Yoga is the process where the central nervous system is brought to a cycle of 2.5. This is called „Kal Darshan“ (the power of the moment). This is the moment before the enemy starts to attack. All senses are completely active, just like every nerve in the body – full Shakti power, focussing on a single point. We practice Shakti Yoga in the form of Gatka. Shakti Yoga is the opposite of Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of devotion).

The camp exists through the community. Everyone assumes a task and thus serves everyone else. This selfless serving is called Seva in the vedic tradition. A Seva service is for instance to cut vegetables, carry the rubbish bags, serve dinner or wash pots. This kind of serving is also called Karma Yoga.

Apart from this, Nanak Dev also often shares his knowledge about the vedic tradition.
