Description
We are the new world of yogis. It’s up to us to determine how yoga unfolds by answering the big question: ‘how does it serve our lives’ and, more importantly, for those of us in a level II training, ‘how does it serve the world?’
Let’s start by retitling this page: Instead of Knowledge versus Action, let’s make it Knowledge and Action. Because they cannot powerfully exist independent of each other.
Part of what makes yoga an incredible aid to our lives, what brings it from philosophy alone, where it could simply idle, or where it could actually distract us and become an avoidance of life, is that it’s got a practical side to it.
As yogis, and especially as teachers, we must keep coming back to the central question: Why do we ‘do’ it, and more importantly, why are we telling other people to ‘do’ it?
While Patanjali yoga was largely focused on the mind and meditation, the structure of the ego and higher self, later yogis emphasised action, eschewing Patanjali’s focus on ethics, behavior and mind in favor of the slightly more tangible physical realm of kriya, mudra, pranayama and asana.
Stephen Covey, modern yogi of business, organizations and effectiveness, said “To know and not do is really not to know.”
We yogis must each contemplate, develop and continually revise our own personal interpretations of the question what is yoga? And, what gives us the authority to ask others to practice yoga, to listen to us?
There is much room for interpretation here. What is indubitable though, is that we have arrived at a time when living true to our own definitions - of yoga, life, truth - is not only part of the definition of integrity, not doing so is simply painful.
This Level II Yoga Teacher Training, Radiantly Alive’s first three week intensive, is custom designed for yogis and teachers who are ready to take their practice and their service to another level. Whether you’ve been practicing for many years or are still new if you're committed to going deeper in your practice, to overhauling and upgrading your teaching and are firmly dedicated to living yoga according to your own definition - this training is for you.
The training relies on the self-examination and work that lies at the practical heart of yoga - what happens when we are on the mat. The proof of our learning takes shape through the grit required to strip away who we have been as a teacher in order to discover who we can be as a leader of bodies and souls in the yoga room and beyond. The magic and power of the training takes flight in the marriage of the philosophic with the solidity of the world.
Svadyaya and tapas are two of Patanjali’s essentials for a reason. From Arjuna to Ghandi, from Vishvamitra to Martin Luther King, from Hanuman to you - myth, story and scripture. Now is the time to write and live the story of who really are and to create the world that can be.
INTERNATIONAL FACULTY
Daniel Aaron - Program Creator, Lead Facilitator
Yoga teacher, writer and human potential coach, Daniel leads trainings, workshops, classes and guides people to live their potential for happiness, health and success. Creator of the world recognized Radiantly Alive Teacher Trainings in 2005, Daniel also founded the Radiantly Alive Yoga studio in Bud, Bali in 2012. His own obsession with leaning and living radiantly brought him to learning from many of the modern masters, traveling the world with enlightened teachers and to delving into radically nutrition and cleansing. Blending what he has learned into a unique system of self-enquiry, movement and breath work, Daniel reaches people with compassion and evokes a space of understanding to inspire people to see their full range of possibilities. An unquenchable motivation to awaken himself and spark enlightenment in others has resulted in a profound awareness of human potential, the obstacles to living awake and a methodology to reaching it. He and his partner Lianne (midwife, writer and teacher) travel and lead together, grow and learn everyday with their three children, and are most delighted and gratified by transformation and presence – in both themselves and those with whom they work.

ASHTANGA EXPLORATIONS
Damien will also offer theme based classes to deepen the understanding and experience of the core principles of the practice, namely Ujayii breathing, its application to the pelvic floor (bandhas) and the awakening of internal awareness through the Drishtis.
Nicki Doane - Guest Faculty (US), Vinyasa
Born on the island of Cyprus in 1969 to diplomat parents, Nicki grew up traveling all over the globe. This instilled in her a wanderlust that eventually led her to India to study yoga in 1991. There she met Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji), and she immediately knew she had found her teacher.
Nicki is an authorized Ashtanga Yoga teacher who began teaching yoga in 1992. Although rooted in Ashtanga Yoga, Nicki’s teaching goes beyond the traditional. Her emphasis is on awareness: creating integrity within each pose that can be carried beyond the mat into daily life. She calls yoga a “life support system,” referring to her firm belief that yoga supports us in all the demands of modern life. Her classes combine meditation, asana, pranayama, philosophy, and poetry.
Nicki’s most influential yoga teachers include: Pattabhi Jois, Eddie Modestini, Gabriella Giubilaro, and Tim Miller. Once, Pattabhi Jois said to her, “You, yoga many lifetimes.” This says it all. She is a dedicated practitioner and a creative, inspired teacher.
