Higher Yoga: Liberation Intensive
October 13 - 16, 2020
A four-day, 20-hour Yoga Alliance Continuing Education workshop of advanced Yoga practices with focus on the profound knowledge and authentic techniques of expanding the mind and releasing conditioned mental patterns. We meet twice per day for 2.5 hours of theory and deep practice.
The 09:00-11:30am morning session features intensive Pranayama and visualization work. Classes will consist of 1-hour theory where you learn and refine 4 different Pranayama techniques from the classical Yoga tradition. You will then practice those techniques for 40-60 minutes, increasing the amount of breathwork each day. Additionally, you will learn and train one of the most powerful visualization and meditation teachings from the 9th century Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. A short Surya Namaskar sequence will serve as a warm-up for the higher practices.
From 02:00-4:30pm you will explore advanced Yoga philosophy in the context of liberation from the conditioned emotional reactions (karma), and then embody this knowledge through 40-60min guided meditations.
You will learn to integrate Pranayama and Visualization techniques into their meditation practice to attain greater focus and experience alternate states of consciousness, free from conditioned patterns.
At the end of the workshop, you will be able to easily add a Pranayama and Meditation/Visualization exercise to your daily Asana practice or teaching. Registered Yoga Alliance teachers will receive 20 Continuing Education Contact Hour Credits.
PRICE: $199
Note: Due to the duration of the Pranayama work, you will be sent a personalized 7-day pre-training protocol upon sign-up so you arrive at the Intensive ready for practice.
