Filip Gour

Filip Gour was born in 1981 in Croatia and is now a Belgium-based bhakti yogi who started to explore consciousness through yoga in 2005. Since then, he has been dedicated to studying, practising and sharing various aspects of yoga. He has a passion for yoga psychology and ancient traditions and often retreats in India with many philosophy books and a camera next to the yoga mat. He loves exploring consciousness through Hatha practices and telling stories of his travels through sacred India in his free time.
Filip leads open-level classes and encourages participants to deepen their body-mind-soul connection respecting individual preferences and limitations. In asana and pranayama classes, he focuses on contemplation and mindfulness. In his practice, he emphasizes self-acceptance, gratitude and mantras, often the themes of his guided meditations. He organized a series of mantra-chanting events and sometimes led simple kirtan himself. Being a photographer and videographer, Filip has an eye for detail and the beauty of the everyday world. He is an essence seeker, a thoughtful and caring person who loves a good laugh. He speaks English, Croatian, and Italian and can tell two jokes in French.
His ambition is always to see the Divine presence everywhere, and witnessing others making deep discoveries is his biggest joy.
