Foundations. Mantra. Visualisation.Many yoga Teacher Trainings barely scratch the surface of meditation. My belief: Awareness of breath transforms the theory of yoga into reality. It is water to a seed. Controlled breath ignites physical, mental and spiritual transformation. Control of the breath leads to meditation. And to me, meditation in yoga is PARAMOUNT. Not only will I be covering in detail every pranayama (breathing technique) that I know, but you’ll be experimenting with them in our live calls. You’ll develop and create your own personal meditation practice. This can evolve into your own signature meditation that you can teach to others as you incorporate yoga and mindfulness into your yoga classes. 6 Mind and I Colorings,The Gunas How to alter your inner dialogue for inner transformation and greater peace and understanding Tantra & Vedanta Philosophy as a lineage of consciousness and directly related to your life now.

What is meditation? Why would anyone want to practice it? What is the mind? What are its benefits and what is its basic method? What is the result of a practice of meditation and what are some of the forms which have offered success timelessly? How to make this a part of everyday living in a non-rigid fashion? What is the history and the methodology of meditation as it is related to the matrix of mind & body, consciousness & sub consciousness?
Teaching Methodology- What does it mean to teach? Who am I? Who is the other? What does "teaching" yoga actually mean? Which aspects are we trying to impart? How can we effectively transmit this core idea through a 90 minute class? How to put together a unique class and workshop with a unique take home memory. How to preserve the essence of yoga in all of your choices. Through various techniques and practicce, you will be carefully monitored and encouraged to be the unique and inspiring teacher you dream to be.
I feel as though I have been reborn-finding within myself a deep inner peace and strength I had been searching for. My steps are calmer, my breathing is a source of healing and my smile is ever-present even when hidden from view.
