Kula as a Source of Inspiration
From our hearts, to the heart of the world
by Andres Perez
Board Member and Certified Anusara Teacher Trainer
Writing about the power of community—of kula—brings us back to the very roots of humanity. From the earliest moments of our existence, we gathered in circles to survive, to evolve, and ultimately, to thrive. Community is not just a space of belonging—it is a sacred container for sharing, and through that sharing, transformation begins.
As a long-time practitioner and teacher of Anusara Yoga, I’ve had the immense honor of witnessing the transformational magic of coming together—whether it’s a one-day workshop, a 200-hour training, or a full Samavesha. Every gathering holds its own unique spark, and that spark becomes a flame when we meet in presence and purpose.
One such flame ignited in 2023 when I had the joy of co-hosting Samavesha Spain with our beloved Stella Iglesias. What a wild and beautiful journey it was! Organized in record time—just nine months—it was full of challenges, learning curves, and surprising blessings.
It was the first in-person Samavesha since the pandemic, and we had no idea if it would even happen. We faced cancellations, stressful logistics, and unexpected seasonal issues (note to self: autumn on the beach in Barcelona is not ideal!). And yet, despite all of that… the community showed up.
And what we co-created together was more than just an event—it was a reminder of what Anusara Yoga truly is: a living, breathing, ever-evolving celebration of truth and grace.
That Samavesha sparked a wave of inspiration across Europe—gatherings like Better Together in the UK and Ireland, hosted by Sarah Powell, or The Benelux Gathering held by Courtenay Willis. The power of kula moved us forward. Personally, it inspired me to join the Board, to commit even more deeply to this path, and to co-create our first National Anusara Gathering in Spain this year.
It also moved me to say yes to joining the organizing committee for Samavesha 2026 in San Francisco—an event already brimming with vision, devotion, and the promise of deep connection.
This upcoming Samavesha is a return to the highest purpose of our practice: Chit-Ānanda—to remember who we are, and to celebrate it, together.
We will gather again for the Teacher’s Intensive, offering focused professional development to refine your teaching. And we’ll open our hearts wide during the Main Event, sharing asana, pranayama, meditation, kirtan, philosophy, and soulful connection.
This gathering is more than a training. It’s more than a celebration. It’s a movement of remembrance, a collective affirmation that in kula, we rise.
The world is shifting rapidly. More than ever, we need spaces of sacred gathering—spaces that nourish our souls, strengthen our hearts, and transform our collective field through joy, practice, and presence.
Let’s hold each other. Let’s lift each other. Let’s remember the transformative power of our community.
With love, devotion, and gratitude,
Andrés Perez,
CATT and Board of Directors Member.
