Yoga Mela

Playful and peaceful, grounding and refreshing, place where you can enjoy your time and also get new insights about life, new life perspective.

Hello dear Divinya,I feel to share some of my experiences from the past week at Yoga Mela with you.During wintertime I started longing for a new yoga experience (not a retreat or a teacher training this time) to refill my yogic batteries by exploring yogic living, connecting with people and strengthening the connection with myself for inner peace and clarity. When I saw the advertisement for Yoga Mela on Facebook some time in March, I knew directly that this is what I want to do and gift myself for my 40th birthday. Apart from all reasons behind choosing Yoga Mela as this year´s yoga experience as written above, I was also very much looking forward coming to Divinya - discovering this new place.A description of some of my deeper experiences at Yoga Mela:Opening up to the people surrounding me.At the festival I experienced that with some of the people present I was feeling a strong connection – as something was triggered in me and asking me to investigate. In this place/space created during the festival at Divinya – more than ever before, I felt comfortable to approach other people, and it happened very spontaneously, allowing me to investigate myself more. Going towards the surrounding people life was enforced in me allowing me to re-discover myself. To let go of fears. To see and accept that we are all parts of a large puzzle, we are in essence all One. We are safe, we can let go of our believes, cross the imaginary walls and allow ourselves to thrive – to float on the waves of life.The weather that was joining me on my journey at Yoga Mela.I knew from earlier experiences that the weather has an influence on my mood - that bad weather would give me a heavy body and heavy mind and that good weather would make me feel light and happy. Here, at the festival, I also experienced that - even more intensely - as we were exposed to the nature very much and the weather was changing all the time. The first days I was struggling with it – I was questioning and complaining about the weather changes - Why such a large changes in the weather, why so unpredictable, why can´t it just be sunny or at least be stable. I experienced that my whole energy was going with the weather - almost driving me totally crazy. Until I found myself ultimately to let it go (as it became too much to handle - also as my time at the festival was too precious to let myself go down because of the weather - also the energy among the people at the festival was so good - so I quickly I thought to rather focus on that joy instead) and then I actually also started enjoying the weather, especially its changes. Shortly after I even realized how beautiful it is to dance with the weather. How boring would it be to live without rain and without weather changes?!I found answers to many of my questions.Coming back home I realize that the festival experience has given answer to so many of my questions, questions that I was having for a long time about life… also I realized that answers I was having deep inside of me were re-awoken, re-inforced - hereby endorsing the trust in myself and the confidence in my inner voice. For example, about unconditional love. Now I know that Love has to flow freely, it doesn´t belong to someone or anyone – it belongs to all whereby it is one source of love we share. I remember I used to be disappointed and feel pain because my love was not responded in same extend or in specific way by the person who initiated this love in me. Now I know that this love was awaken in me, meaning that the life was awaken in me, set free to flow through my body and life, so I can live my life fully and beautifully.In summary, my experiences at the festival are beyond words, beyond expectations. I gained so much energy, self insights, friends, connections, inspiration, ideas! My yoga batteries are refilled - I burn now to continue my journey - living and sharing Yoga with others.Now, back at home, Guruji said the real festival would start – and I think he is right!in OVERFLOW of LOVENamaste,Stéphanie

The best spiritual festival I have ever experienced. Incredible music and such a warm togetherness, like a huge family. Really special. It is wonderful to experience how joyful spirituality can be approached. Coming closer to oneself in such a natural way. The whole experience was a great insight on what potential life holds for us. Thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing everyone at next Yoga Mela!

Cosmic experience.

Ik raad iedereen die opzoek is naar een festival vol vreugde, yoga en muziek aan om naar Yoga Mela te gaan. Er is een bijzondere sfeer tijdens het festival. Je bent niet gewoon een deelnemer, maar je maakt echt deel uit van de Yoga Mela familie, je wordt meteen betrokken in allerlei activiteiten en waardoor ik mij voelde meteen thuis voelde. Ik heb veel geleerd van de verschillende workshops, nieuwe mensen leren kennen en genoten van alle artiesten, maar de Satsangs met Guruji Srivast waren het meest waardevol voor mij. De satsangs gaven mij nieuwe inzichten die ik op de dag van vandaag nog steeds implementeer in mijn dagelijkse leven.
