Immersion Testimonials

Peak Experience in My Life

The depth and breadth of the Immersion are such that it’s virtually impossible to distill the quality and value of the experience down to a few words. But three things do rise above all the rest for me:

  • Kelley Gardner’s unflagging enthusiasm, energy, and love in guiding her students through the wealth of material while inviting us deeper into the experience of the yoga of life;
  • The way in which people of vastly different experience and backgrounds come together in a true kula of radical acceptance, love, and seeking; and
  • The fundamental message of Anusara Yoga and the Tantra that each of us is not only a manifestation of the One, but also a full participant in the creation of the divine.

Thank you again for a deeply meaningful “peak experience” in my life – it would have been less rich and less wonderful under anyone else’s guidance. – Allison Bush

Second Time Immersionite

It was an amazing experience to go through the Immersion for a second time. I found that my level of understanding was deepening and my ability to apply the teachings was becoming even more potent. Each weekend would reignite my passion to dive in further. I am forever grateful for my teacher, Kelley Gardner, and her remarkable ability to impart these teachings in a very real and meaningful way. Anusara has given me a framework to use when moving through everyday life . . . see the good first, acknowledge the divine consciousness that is our very essence, say YES to life, and know that when I stray from my understandings, all I have to do is remember and come back. The Immersion has truly changed the way that I do my life and it is a gift that everyone should give to themselves, over and over again! – Shelly Morrow

Should Be Mandatory for EVERYONE

An Immersion should be mandatory for everyone! I loved every minute of the Immersion and didn’t want to see it end! The rich information provided is life changing on and off the mat. Kelley is an open-hearted, grounded, and transformative teacher. I am in deep gratitude to have been able to study under her. – Sam Goldman

More Centered in My Life

The Immersion with Kelley has been amazing. I have met new friends whom I will know for life, deepened my practice of yoga and learned so much about myself. I am more centered in my life and really enjoyed learning about yoga history, especially the Tantric way of life. – Marty Kestin

Transformative Experience

At first, the thought of traveling 3 hours each way for 9 months to attend Kelley Gardner’s Anusara yoga immersion at the Bindu was daunting, but I am so thankful that I did. The experience was truly transformative and provided tangible and intangible benefits that will be with me for the remainder of my life.

The immersion offered a systemized way to steep myself in the Anusara yoga system, which are an amazing set of principles that worked to enhance my emotional well being and remind me to continually connect with my spiritual source. Besides learning principles of alignment that ensure proper body mechanics for yoga asana, the aspect of the immersion that I enjoyed the
most was learning Tantric philosophy, which deepened the physical practice of yoga into a means to be more in touch with my inner self- body, mind and spirit.

I came away from the experience more aware of my life’s purpose and, most importantly, with strategies to be a happier and more effective person. Finally, the group of people that I studied and practiced with for 9 months,our kula, will be cherished, lifelong friends. – Sheila Dunn
