Not all students coming to a yoga class can begin with traditional yoga postures. Every individual is a work in progress and desiring and deserving to be welcomed home in the physical body in this moment. Based on 35 years teaching experience and the principles presented in Self-Awakening Yoga: The Expansion of Consciousness Through the Body's Own Wisdom, this yoga therapeutics teacher training travels to the roots of your personal yoga practice as a lifelong creative learning process. Self-Awakening Yoga is a self-educational and self-therapeutic yoga modality that is based on the use of moderate effort, rather than going to one's maximum edge. Cultivating one's capacity for relaxed awareness allows for a deep release into the natural flexibility, mobility and balance in your body --without producing strain or fatigue. Going slowly enough to allow the body to learn through experience. Prana, the intelligent life force, is always at work, supporting one's discovery of wholeness.
The principles of Self-Awakening Yoga arise from neuro-muscular developmental stages that are encoded in the body's memory from birth. The sequences you learn to practice and guide in this training reveal fundamental insights into developmental patterns and structural alignment. In returning to the original patterns of movement, new choices emerge that offer greater efficiency and restore a better functional relationship to gravity. When the force of gravity isn't evenly distributed throughout the body, one feels burdened, emotionally drained, and out of control. Conscious repatterning the way the body responds to gravity dramatically influences overall health and well-being in all dimensions of the self.
For true healing and balance to arise, Self-Awakening Yoga Therapeutics trains you to attune your mental awareness to the workings of prana in your body and intuitive wisdom arising from within you. Accessing your inner teacher as a source of intuitive guidance frees you from the illusion that "healing" exists outside of you—in techniques, in the authority of an expert or even a pre-existing yoga system.
Includes a workbook with experience guides and educational methodology for creating your own Self-Awakening Yoga curriculum and professional practice.
