Holistic healing with sound (Nada Yoga) is a powerful component of the training, being a transformative tool to restore balance and harmonize the cells. Sound, frequency, and vibration are one of the most powerful tools to release stress, remove emotional blocks, and activate self-healing mechanisms in the body. The power of sound opens up the vibrational field of resonance to induce a deep meditative state and bring deep transformation on all levels of being. Learn how to incorporate sound, voice, mantra, and Sanskrit into your classes, and how to play singing bowls and tuning forks, as well as for basic one-on-one treatments. Gong ceremonies and sound baths will also be held weekly to deepen your own personal experience.
Meditation and mindfulness practices are also important aspects, to cultivate awareness and essentially embody the practice. The techniques are sourced from traditional yogic methods such as mantra and calm abiding, loving-kindness, and mindful awareness practices from the Buddhist tradition. Daily seated meditation practice is an integral part of our training including periods of silence (mauna) in the mornings and some evenings to support a deeper insight into one's essential nature.
The main practice is Hatha yoga as a functional alignment-based slow flow, with emphasis on the breath, energetics of the pose, and internal focus of the mind. Influenced by the more dynamic flow practices as well as Vinyasa Krama as taught by Sri T. Krishnamacharya, honoring the ancient origins of yoga. We teach you how to use Yoga skillfully for a specific outcome, as a tool for deep change. Full poses, adaptations, and variations are taught, ratios of breath, bandha, mudra, mantra, sound, bhavana, meditation, ritual, guided self-inquiry, relaxation, lifestyle practices, and their appropriate application as an inner process. We empower you to find what your individual expression of Yoga is.
Chinese Taoist arts are also utilized to stimulate the meridians (energy channels), encourage healthy organ function, and harness internal energy, working with the elements of the Chinese Taoist system. Gentle Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga practices increase receptivity, creating a deeply profound practice that invites deep listening and presence.
An insightful immersion that connects to the cycles of nature, the earth, the sky, and the 5 elements. Discover the art of ceremony and ritual creating sacred space and time, opening up to vision, prayer, intention (sankalpa), and the group energy of sharing and interconnectedness during New and Full Moon Ceremonies.
The training opens setting sacred intention with the New Moon, then harnesses the energies of the Full Moon after Module 1 as you step into the role of a teacher, an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you under the stars in a Full Moon Beach Circle Ceremony and Fire Blessing. This program culminates once again on the New Moon to set an intention for your new life path. Sometimes the Moon times will be at other prominent places in the YTT depending on the month.
There will be some weekly evening events including group sound bath, gong ceremony, new and full moon ceremonies, voice work, and conscious cinema to deepen your experience. This one-month intensive training balances nicely by treating yourself to a local Thai massage. These can be much more therapeutic and in-depth than other forms of massage and relieve muscle tension greatly.
