Get ready for the spiritual warrior’s path to liberation, where your self-conflicted shackles will no longer bind you to living small, fearful, and tamed.
Who is this program good for?
Any human being desiring a deepening into a healthy embodied Self led relationship to themselves, and to others. This teacher training is based on the Tantric Shaivist path of Buddhism with inspiration being drawn from the Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions. This training also has deep roots in Hatha, yin, trauma and transformation informed ritual, Sadhana, and ceremony. It is also deeply influenced by sacred texts, philosophy, shadow work, neuroscience, and hermeticism. Modern teaching has been applied to this training, but the ancient science of yoga through classical application will stay intact, and sacred to the practice. This container will create space for the acknowledgement of the pain you carry, and also invite a personal commitment to feel, grieve and integrate this pain and continue on a path to accountability for releasing any stories of victimhood that keep you from stepping into conscious choicefulness. There is an opportunity here to step into deeply Self led healing so that you may gain sovereignty, resiliency, and evolution on the path forward. |
This training is deeply influenced by many healing modalities. Some of these influences include Hakomi Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Family Constellations, Non-Violent Communication, Compassionate Inquiry, Existential Kink, Sacred Sexuality, Neo-Tantra, Depth Psychology, Parts Work, and Plant and Animal Medicine. We begin the journey looking at the roots of our past, and the possible burdens they may be carrying for us in our current daily lives. We dig into the unintegrated aspects of ourselves that make the path forward unclear and confusing, and we create spaciousness for the integration of any disharmony in the individual mental, physical and energetic processes. This teacher training course has been put together as a combination of years of experience in overcoming obstacles, challenges, hardships, internal and external abuses, and existential angst at being within the human experience. This is not a simple journey into teaching yogic postures, shapes, and handstands. This is a voyage into the deep unknown, and into the abyss of the hero’s journey.
On the other side you will find useful ways to use yoga, pranayama, meditation and mindfulness to fuel your daily life with resourcing for your nervous system that allows you to live life from a more holistic, Self led space.
We will focus deeply on our physical shells becoming safe containers for the assimilation of spiritual teachings, and practices. We will look at breath (prana), disempowering belief systems, fear-based reactivity, ineffective communication, and unhealthy habits within our daily spiritual practices. We will find ways to effectively create balance in all areas of our daily life to receive what life is trying to reveal to us. When we are no longer simply surviving, but living from a place of embodied empowerment, confidence, and presence our choices become discerning and endless, and our boundaries well maintained and nurturing.
This yoga training is for all beings in desire for deeper self-exploration and inquiry. This training is for new aspirants on the spiritual path, for long-time teachers, healers, and facilitators. It is open to any individual that is willing to put in the time, effort, heart, and energy for deep personal transformation. You will find depth here, and challenge, it will not be easy, but it will be memorable, and powerful if you allow it to be. |
In addition to the topics listed above we will have an opportunity in our time together to dive into deeper relational aspects of the human experience. As a human being, we are an interpersonal tribe, we need connection more than we may like to admit. This course will offer tools on how to navigate the realm of relationships. They become our greatest teachers when we can open and accept receiving their wisdom, whether from dark teachings or light. We learn to take accountability, adopt healthy interdependence, enjoy and trust pleasure, embody confidence and understand our boundaries, needs, and how to make requests. Our partnerships with loved ones become more joyful, and a source of awakening, expansion, passion, and pleasure.
