The canvas tipi tent in Scheldewindeke near Gent is used for teaching, rituals and healings. It is heated by an open fire vented by a smoke hole on top. Additionally in winter infrared heating is also available. Best anyhow bring appropriate clothes for the time of the year.
The address is : Wijkschoolstraat 9 in Scheldewindeke - Oosterzele. It can be reached by car in 20 to 30 minutes from Gent, traffic dependent. Drive either via the Hundelgemse Steenweg or the E40 Gent-Brussel exit Zottegem-Wetteren. You can also take the train to the Scheldewindeke station, where you can easily be picked up by car if you so request.
On the LEFT side of the house at this address, walk through the wooden panels to reach the smaller house and the tipi tent at the back.
Leela is the ancient vedic name for the theater of life. Life in all its forms is an illusion behind which we can find the ultimate truth of pure Being. Yet life is also a divine theater, a spiritual game played by us, the actors. Yoga allows us to hold on to the bliss of truth while playing the game. And also this yoga is a game, which we can only take seriously if we do not take ourselves and this game too seriously. That is the meaning of Leela Yoga, nothing more, nothing less. So, Leela Yoga is a vision on yoga and also a name for a simple organisation that allows me to bring this vision into practice... more about Leela Yoga & Peter Marchand

in sweet memory of Harish Johari |
As the destination is the same for all, it is easy to make the error of assuming that the path must be just as universal.
The attachment that happens in the pursuit of happiness is the main source of unhappiness.
Don't think of going somewhere, because this somewhere will come along with you wherever you go, as you are already there.
Yoga requires unity between enjoyment and suffering, between bhoga and yoga, even between attachment and detachment.
How can anyone be "good" without a choice between good and bad?
While the mind creates the illusion of the universe through the senses, the intellect creates the illusion of understanding it.
When our day has been entirely ego-centered, then our meditation will probably have similar poor quality.
When the focus on the self is held strongly enough, the flow of kundalini energy happens on its own, naturally.
Tiptoe inside, don't make a sound, don't scare away that which cannot be found.
Enlightenment is nothing more or less than the final level of the game of life.
