​
Through this Yoga Teacher Training in the Subtle Body, we will explore two of the most central models foundational to the practice of Yoga's holistic tools. They will also be understood along with an in-depth understanding of key teachings from Ayurveda, and The YogasÅ«tra of Patañjali, the most authoritative text on Yoga.
The training will provide a balanced mix of theory and practice sessions, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. It will be a safe space to explore these themes through dialogue and discussion, fostering a deeper understanding of yoga's subtle anatomy.
In Depth Training
Yoga's tools are deeply rooted in the profound understanding of the body as perceived by the traditional Sages. This depth of knowledge is fascinating, especially considering that modern medicine was non-existent when Yoga first emerged thousands of years ago.
It's crucial to understand that a practice of Yoga solely based on modern science is flawed and incomplete. To avoid these pitfalls, it is essential for every Yogi, from students to teachers, to grasp the Traditional understanding of the human body in Yoga.
Many wonderful models form the basis of this subtle and refined understanding of how our human system works.
One is the model of the Cakra-s how they correspond to both physical and emotional functions of the body, and how they form the basis for the classification of Asana-s.
The second is the model of the Pañcamaya-s, which explores the human being as made up of five distinct yet interconnected dimensions. A detailed understanding of this will help us understand the marvellous holistic nature of Yoga practices and how they can be helpful in the domains of health and healing.
