Level 1 Shakti Spirit Yoga & Ayurveda Teacher Training - BALI

Description

Join us for the Shakti Spirit Teacher Training, Ubud, Bali. 9 September – 21 October, 2012

The Shakti Spirit Yoga Teacher Training is designed for practitioners who love the Hatha Yoga system, including postural alignment, prop usage & Vinyasa Flow Yoga, and would like to learn more about integrating their practice with Ayurveda and Yoga philosophy.

Rachel, the Director of the training has been practicing Yoga for 25 years, teaching for 15, and spent two years training with an Ayurvedic Dr in Australia. We will also be joined by Dr Sujatha Kekada, an Ayurvedic Dr originally from India who now lives in Bali. She will join us for Ayurveda cooking classes, a herb walk/medicine chest and private consultations.

In this training, a lot of emphasis is given to safe and stable alignment. Once this is established we focus on conscious movement and breath, by linking the postures together into intelligent and flowing sequences (vinyasa). We also include sequences that are not Vinyasa Flow based, but are none the less intelligent in their design.

We are interested in all aspects of the practice, such as the flow of prana in the body, or the effects on the gunas and doshas. We are as interested in what happens 'off the mat', as much as what happens 'on the mat'. We believe Yoga should be available for everyone, not just the super bendy. With this in mind, this course is not about training to become a contortionist, although of course we are working with the physical body, at times intensely. We are interested in working with real people, with real bodies they are dealing with.

Teachers on the Bali training include: Rachel Hull (Course Director, asana, pranayama, adjustments, Ayurveda +) & Anna Smallwood (asana, pranayama, meditation, adjustments +), Emil Wendel (pranayama, meditation, Yoga philosophy), Dr Sujatha Kekada (Ayurveda),† James Newman (anatomy & Yoga therapy)

Training cost is: Australian $ 4200. This includes all training tuition and manuals, one private Ayurvedic consultation plus one treatment, one private Yoga therapy session and a once per week shared Ayurvedic meal. Accommodation and airfare are extra. Accommodation details can be found on the website.

In order to ensure lots of individual attention, we accept 16 students maximum. As well as the main teacher, there will always be an assistant in each asana class.
