The Course

Dive deep into the philosophical heart of yoga with a transformative exploration of the ancient wisdom found within a revered spiritual text. This rich course offers yoga instructors an opportunity to expand their teaching toolbox by integrating timeless principles from a spiritual classic into their practice and teachings. By dissecting the teachings, we'll explore key themes such as dharma (duty), bhakti (devotion), and sannyasa (renunciation) that can deepen both personal practice and classroom guidance. In doing so, we aim to cultivate a yoga experience that transcends the physical and touches the soul of both the teacher and student.

Understand how to weave the profound lessons of inner peace, mindfulness, and self-awareness into every pose and every breath. Beyond asanas and meditation, this course empowers you to impart a sense of purpose and direction to your students, drawing on age-old wisdom that’s as relevant today as it ever was. Learn how to bring these ancient concepts to life in a contemporary setting, helping your students navigate life's battles with grace and poise, much like the epic's hero. This isn't just about deepening your yoga journey; it's about enriching the lives you touch with the enduring light of knowledge and self-discovery.

What you will learn

I started this course with the intention of creating a bridge between the ancient wisdom of the sacred texts and the modern practice of yoga. As a yoga teacher, I understand the importance of not just the physical postures, but also the philosophical and spiritual grounding that can profoundly enhance your teaching and personal practice. This course has been carefully crafted to be accessible, insightful, and deeply enriching, even if you're just beginning to explore these concepts. It's structured to ensure you take away practical knowledge and spiritual wisdom that is clearly relevant to your teaching and to the personal transformation of your students. I've poured my own experiences and understanding into every lesson so that you'll emerge from this course not only with a greater appreciation of yoga's roots but also with a treasure trove of teachings to share in your classes.
