Authentic Relationships

Unfold your true identity in the matrix of conscious relationship

11th – 17th March, 2019 | Mohanchatti, Rishikesh, India

Course Description

Integrate authentic relationships into your life and your teaching. Explore and understand how we form, sustain and honor relationships. Our success as Kundalini Yoga teachers and as conscious human beings depends on our capacity to be authentic and respond from our hearts; our primary objective is to examine our relationships and improve our effectiveness, authenticity and awareness within them.

Key Topics

Use awareness, contemplation and meditation to revision your relationship to self and other. Forgive the past and heal the present. Release yourself from the wounds of love and begin to live authentically. Recognize the patterns that keep you from expressing your true Self and create a new template: give and receive love from abundance, consciousness and ease.

  • WHERE SHOULD I FLY INTO AND WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

    You need to fly into New Delhi, arriving no later than March 10, 2019. Check in begins at the location at 12:00 noon on March 10, 2019. If it is possible, we highly suggest to arrive to India March 8 or 9. This would be to help you rest and recover from jet lag before the course begins. This will also give you more time to travel from New Delhi to Rishikesh.

    Rooms will be available for check in at 12:00 noon on March 10. Class begins early morning Sadhana on March 11, 2019.

  • WHEN DO WE LEAVE THE NIRVANA RIVER RESORT?

    Your room is paid from afternoon of March 10 to morning of March 17, 2019. Check out is by 8:00 am on. If you would like to arrive earlier or stay later at the resort, please contact the Nirvana River Resort directly as Golden Bridge is not responsible for any early or extended stays. You can book directly for early or late stay via www.nirvanariverresort.com

    Please know that if you arrive early and stay at the Nirvana – you may have to change rooms for the course as we arrange all room assignments in advance of the course. If you will be attending only Authentic Relationships and would like to stay on the night of the 17th or later – please know that this cannot be guaranteed. We have a second course starting directly after Authentic Relationships.

  • HOW DO I GET FROM DELHI TO RISHIKESH AND BACK?

    You can fly from Delhi to Deradhun (we recommend Spice or Jet Air Airlines). Once you arrive to Deradhun you will need transport to the course.

    The flight from New Delhi to Deradhun is approximately 1 hour.

    Since the flight is so long we do recommend drinking plenty of water, at least 8 ounces per hour. Drinking caffeinated beverages is not recommended. If you want a special meal remember to order in advance with your airline.. Vitamin C or Vitamin packets are helpful in fortifying your immune system during the flight. Snacks of fruits and nuts will help too. When not sleeping or watching movies, take regular breaks to get up, walk around and stretch.

  • WHAT SHOULD I PACK?

    Once you register you will be provided with a suggested packing list. We suggest you bring one large suitcase or duffle as checked luggage and one small bag or knapsack as your carry on. If you would like bring an empty duffle packed into your suitcase to bring home your purchases. Don’t overpack.

    Remember, airlines are imposing stricter guidelines for luggage and weight. Also, there are times you will have to carry your own luggage, so make sure the luggage you bring is luggage you can handle carrying.

    There are no required vaccinations for travel in North India. We suggest you consult with your doctor if you are concerned about this issue, and do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – CURRENCY, DRESS & NIRVANA RIVER RESORT

  • HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I TAKE WITH ME?

    That’s entirely up to you and how much you want to buy. Things in India are much more inexpensive than they are in the US or Europe, so your dollar goes pretty far. Travelers checks are harder to exchange in India than cash, so we recommend bringing cash and credit/debit cards. ATMs are available down in Ram Jula and the Rishikesh area. Ram Jula / Rishikesh is about 45 minutes from where we will be staying.

    ATMs are also available in Delhi and at the airport.
    Most stores take credit cards.

  • WHAT ABOUT TIPPING?

    We do not tip any staff during our stay at the Nirvana Resort. Rather, we leave a collective group tip at the end of our stay, which the staff divides between them. Generally this tip is around $30/person for the month stay. In addition, if you use porters to assist you with your luggage, plan on $1/piece of luggage each time you use them. For taxis within Delhi count on $1$ 2/trip.

  • WHAT IS THE CURRENCY AND HOW CAN I EXCHANGE MY DOLLARS?

    The currency in India is the rupee. There is money exchange in the Delhi airport. When you fly into Delhi, exchange some money into rupees at the airport.
    The rupee is not exchangeable outside of India so however much money you exchange into rupees, know that you must either spend it or exchange it back before leaving the country

  • HOW SHOULD I DRESS WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH INDIA?

    For women, please dress modestly with respect for the culture. It is preferred to not wear tank tops and halters or shorts. Also when traveling through India it is best not to wear tight or transparent clothes that show too much skin or underarms.
    Instead wear loose fitting graceful clothing such as Indian Kurtas. Long skirts are also a good option.
    This is to not only show respect for the culture but to also not draw unwanted attention to yourself.
    For men, we suggest not to wear tank tops. Kurta shirts and T-shirts are fine.
    You will be doing a lot of Kundalini Yoga and meditation so we prefer white or light colored clothing. Also, head coverings are highly recommended.

    There is plenty of shopping in Ram Jula and Laxshman Jula. These areas are about 45 minutes to an hour below where the training is being held. So, you can do plenty of shopping for clothes if you arrive early before the training begins.

  • WHAT IS THE NIRVANA RIVER RESORT?

    For more information please see: http://www.nirvanariverresort.com

    Because we will be up in the mountains please make sure to bring all of your toiletries and any necessary comforts with you from home. There will be days off during the course when you will be able to travel down to Laxshman Jhula or Ram Jhula (where Parmarth Niketan Ashram is located).

  • DO I NEED TO FILL OUT ALL OF THIS PAPERWORK TO REGISTER?

    YES! We need the registration forms returned to us and the deposit paid before we can consider your registration complete.

    YES.
