Yoga Repentance

Want to be transformed? Try true yoga repentance

What is repentance? Is it only regret over a past action? Yogis find true repentance involves transformation in mind and purpose. Here we take the help of Patanjali and bhakti yoga.

Spiritual Development, Bhakti Yoga, Transformation

Immersion Leading to Transformation

In yoga we go from a matter focus to a Spirit focus. We go from “I and my preoccupations with me” to “You, Lord,” from fear and desire to faith in the kingdom; from ignorance to enlightenment. This to a yogi is repentance. Metanoia:  “immersion in mind, pure consciousness, leading to transformation of the mind, thoughts and purpose.” Has it happened to you?

  • The gospels in the Bible say the main message of Jesus Christ is, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.”
  • The Metaphysical Dictionary explains that the word repentance comes from the Greek word metanoia which means “immersion in mind, pure consciousness, leading to transformation of the mind, thoughts and purpose”
  • Yoga also teaches that we must be changed, immersed, and made over
  • Discover how Patanjali’s (Yoga Sutras) eightfold path leads to absorption in Spirit and results in transformation
  • Find out how bhakti yoga brings states of absorption in the Divine
  • Learn how yoga fosters the transformation of mind, thought and purpose

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
