Ṣadaraṁ Saṁsāra Cakra Bhedanam

Breaking free from the wheel of cyclic existence:
Birth – Death – Rebirth

Join Master Teacher, Gary Kraftsow

December 3 – 7, 2025
Ancient Yoga Center, Austin, TX

The Ancients evolved the Cakra/Nāḍī symbol system as a comprehensive map of the human psyche.

In this retreat, we will follow the map, using meditative self-inquiry on each cakra, to break free from our bondage to the six-spoked wheel of cyclic existence:

Selfless ↔ Self-serving
Attachment ↔ Aversion
Pleasure ↔ Pain
