Yogic Philosophy, Leadership and Ethics with Jessie Carson Friday, April 2 to Sunday, April 4, 2021 Yoga is an open spiritual practice with a deep history and long existing philosophies that can be an extremely helpful and relevant practice for modern times. This module provides teachers with an understanding of the historical evolution of yoga and how that differs and aligns with the practices we see today. We come together to address questions like, why do we study these histories and philosophies of yoga? Do we have to abide certain philosophies to be yoga teachers? What is yoga anyway and how has it transformed over time? Yoga teaching integrates the spiritual, moral and transformative dimensions of leadership. Being a leader in this way takes courage. It suggests that we develop steadiness and ease when living in uncertainty. It also encourages us to be able to, again and again, let go of old patterns and welcome new ways of being. This is not just the...

Yoga of the Subtle Body with Kathleen Burr Friday, June 18 to Sunday, June 20, 2021 Throughout the ages, people from around the world have acknowledged that subtle energy orchestrates all of life. Although modern approaches to yoga practice tend to focus on physical anatomy, the ancient sages of India were more attuned to energetic anatomy. We are unique vibratory beings, and awareness of energy can empower us to navigate life with greater ease. Course Outline Just as health is a reflection of unity, illness is a reflection of separation. From a yogic perspective, illness begins at a subtle level and ultimately manifests at the physical level. This course provides an overview of the Koshas as a framework to understand the various levels of being that comprise an individual. Balance and integration of the Koshas as a whole cultivates wellness while imbalance within the Koshas and a lack of integration results in dis-ease. More specifically, this training explores the systems that play a specific role in...

Yoga for the Spine Immersion with Andrea Peloso Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5, 2019 This immersive and applied training will provide participants with an understanding of how to genuinely benefit and protect the spine in yoga – a subject often misunderstood and even avoided in contemporary yogic education. As we go through each course component, participants will “taste test” each asana and then see the residue created in the body. Andrea will make sure that each person has the intended experience of each exercise. We will make anatomy lessons and biomechanics simple and explore five different ways to help the spine and pelvis in yoga: biomechanics, traction, strengthening, stretching, and relaxation combined. We will experience first hand how to make the spine feel fantastic in asana and keep it free of injury. We will also discuss related concepts of non-violence and the modern context of yoga as it is generally taught in the west. Come prepared to have fun, explore theory and...
