How does karma work? How does it shape my destiny and how can I change my destiny? What lies beyond this life?
These are some of the questions that the workshop will address, drawing from the wisdom of ancient texts such as the Katha Upanishad and others. Immensely relevant, meaningful and practical, the Mystery of Karma workshop will provide not only knowledge, but also practices and strategies to understand the underlying forces that create our destiny, to shape our destiny, to deal with the inevitable process of life and death, helping us and others to put our life in perspective.
This workshop is an opportunity to bring karma into focus—not as fate, but as a dynamic process that, when understood, empowers greater freedom and intention in how we live.
The recordings of this course will be available for 30 days.

Originally from Madrid, Spain, Carlos has been steeped in all aspects of the yoga tradition during more than 40 years of practice and study. He spent 18 of those years as a monk of the Saraswati order, under the name Swami Gitananda, including 9 years of traditional training and practice in India.
During this time he learned the various systems of Indian Philosophy and immersed himself in the practice of yoga, becoming one of the senior monks of the tradition and teaching meditation and philosophy to tens of thousands of students around the world. He combines this experience and traditional training with his academic background, which includes two Masters Degrees: one in Sanskrit, from U.C. Berkeley (where he has taught) and another one, in Religious Studies, from U.C. Santa Barbara. He is currently working on a book on the topic of “Karma and the Journey of the Soul”, as well as a new translation of the Śivasūtra, an important Tantric text of the Kashmiri tradition .
Carlos currently lives in the US, and travels extensively around the world conducting a variety of retreats, courses, seminars, workshops and lectures on the Wisdom of Yoga and related subjects.
As a teacher, Carlos is renowned for the breadth of his knowledge and the clarity with which he conveys it. His great love of the Indian yoga traditions, his insight, his humor and his deep connection with his audiences give him the ability to transmit the deepest scriptural teachings in a way that is clear, meaningful and applicable. Studying with Carlos is an enjoyable and transformative experience.
