Awakening Kundalini
My DeepL-assisted translation from German of a book by Sukadev Bretz, founder of Yoga Vidya in Germany
New Release: A Translation of Sukadev Bretz’s Teachings
Yoga Vidya Verlag (Press) in Germany has just released a book that I translated via DeepL and thoroughly edited. It was authored by Sukadev Bretz, the founder and spiritual guide of Yoga Vidya, which is the largest Hindu ashram and yoga community in Europe.
This translation is Sukadev’s debut in the Anglophone world. The book is rich in spiritual wisdom and practical teachings. I wish it a wide readership in the English-speaking world. It’s available on most ebook platforms. Here’s the Amazon link.
About Sukadev Bretz and Yoga Vidya
This publication represents the first time Sukadev Bretz’s work is being made available to an English-speaking audience. Sukadev founded Yoga Vidya in 1992, and it has since become the largest Hindu ashram and yoga community in Europe. The main ashram is located in Bad Meinberg, Germany, serving as a spiritual village and educational hub for practitioners across the continent. Here is a link to Yoga Vidya’s main website.
Sukadev’s approach follows the lineage of Swami Sivananda. He teaches a holistic system known as the “Yoga of Synthesis,” which integrates physical postures, breathwork, meditation, and Vedantic philosophy. As a prominent figure in the European yoga scene, Sukadev and Yoga Vidya have trained thousands of yoga teachers and played a significant role in making yoga a respected path for health and spiritual development in Germany.
Bringing These Teachings to the Anglophone World
Although Sukadev has been teaching for decades, the language barrier has limited his reach in the English-speaking world. This book aims to change that by offering a distillation of his long-standing practice.
The content provides a blend of spiritual insights and practical applications that are relevant for both new and experienced students. My hope is that these teachings find a broad global audience and offer useful guidance for those navigating their own spiritual paths.
