A YOGA ALLIANCE CERTIFIED TRAINING SCHOOL
These trainings begin as an experiment in being yourself, in relating with others, in exploring life through the practices of Yoga. I am honored to share this with you . . . and guide you in finding your inner creative nature . . . and discover ways of expressing it to others.
This is a course that is for the mature, open-minded and curious yoga practitioner/teacher, bodyworker, therapist who wants to inquire deeply into their own personal practice. It is a course that is a personal and group journey of discovery. It is not a course that requires you to repeat or memorize or conform. . . instead I encourage you to open up to new dimensions of yourself that make the Yoga practice very real, personal and authentic for YOU. The courses offered in 2012 fulfill the first 100 hours of a 200 hour Yoga Alliance program. You make participate in just some of the modules - or the full program - either for a personal development goal, or towards teaching.
We will explore ASANA from a fluid-body perspective . . . honoring and then expanding on traditional yoga studies, allowing your authentic somatic identity to emerge. Asana can be a very personal experience, as we all are in our own unique bodies, physically and energetically. . . as you move, you will learn about your own EMERGENT ANATOMY . . . a body in constant creation and you will understand anatomy from an experiential personal perspective, rather than from a book or chart.
We will explore yoga movement in a diverse gravitational environment, warm water, which will diversify and expand your understanding of your movement on land.
PRANAYAMA is the initiator of our life movements and the wave on which we ride into uncharted territory of yoga inquiries. Pranayama practices traditional and evolutionary will lead us to experience "full body breathability" and to conserve prana.
Sound is audible breath. Our pranayama practices often lead to an exploration of NADA-YOGA . . . the yoga of divine sound, vibration and rhythm. Sanskrit, mantra and prayer chants arise from an exploration of sound. Find your inner sound and allow it to give rise to your true voice which then will turn you back inside to the place of no-sound.
MEDITATION is a natural state of being, not a practice or method to do. We will explore this natural meditative presence through movement and stillness, sound and silence. Explore ancient meditative traditions and new quantum methods for absorption into an awareness of the One.
Become immersed in the fluid world of TANTRA. It feels to me that almost all yoga is rooted in Tantra . . . the "woven path" . . . a yoga of fullness, acceptance and relation. We will experientially explore the ancient and sacred Vijnana Bhairava Tantra through the practice of TANTSU . . . a restful and healing tantric meditation practiced in groups of two and three.
Simply by participating in this course, you will investigate how we can sensitively perceive and respond to others. The somatic communication skills learned in this part of the course are essential for those who wish to teach, and are very useful simply as human beings, in relation with one another in every moment. The continue course in 2013 (dates to be determined) will have more focus on the art of teaching.

By participating in this course, you will be part of an amazing experiment of ideas, energy and manifestations in motion.
Dedicated but very busy people may not always be able to participate in the immersion course format. For these committed individuals, I also offer a private mentorship training. To co-create, personal mentoring process, please contact me by email
