Course Content Includes

  • Durga symbolizes inner strength and steadiness. Devi Durga is the fortress of protection, courage, and compassion on the journey of our lives. Durga Immersion shares the transformational practices of yoga that enhance and enrich the journey of your life and your knowledge and authenticity as a yoga teacher.

    Durga Immersion is a journey of discovery into the ancient lineage of yoga and the tapestry of tradition that creates the contemporary practice of Vinyasa Flow Yoga. You will deepen and develop your yoga sadhana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, and meditation practices, embodying the heart and wisdom of yoga. You will learn the precise alignment of classical asana, anatomical planes of movement, and patterns of movement. You will explore the harmony of sthira and sukha, dynamic flow to peak pose, and creative sequencing, infused with mudra, metaphor, and symbolism. We will explore yoga theory and esoteric anatomy of the chakras, prana and nadis, chi and meridians, prana vayus and pancha koshas. You will learn how to enrich creative vinyasa sequencing with esoteric philosophy. The Durga journey opens the gateway to Sanskrit, the ancient language of yoga; devavani, the ancient language of the Gods.

  • Saraswati is the goddess of vak, eloquence, music, art, and science. She is the devi of divine creativity, intuition, and insight in the flow of our lives. Saraswati Immersion integrates insightful darshana, the perspective of Indian Philosophy, the Science of Anatomy and Physiology, and the creativity of yoga choreography and music.

    Saraswati immersion is a scientific journey into Anatomy and Physiology with our incredibly knowledgeable guest teacher, Chris Swain. You will explore the anatomical language and landscape of the human body; functional anatomy and biomechanics of the skeletal system and major muscle groups; major organs, the respiratory, digestive, and cardiovascular systems; spine anatomy, the nervous and endocrine system.

    Saraswati immersion is also an insightful journey into Yoga Philosophy with Daniel Simpson. Exploring the links between philosophy and practice, we will examine key themes that shaped yoga’s evolution from its earliest origins to today. In the process, we will study ideas from ancient texts, including the Upanishads, the Yoga Sutra, and the Bhagavad Gita, as well as teachings from Buddhism, tantric traditions, and hatha yoga. Our overall objective is to see how modern yoga relates to the past. We will reflect on the development of physical practices over the centuries, and see how priorities change in different contexts. We will also consider our role in this process, engaging with contemporary debates about cultural appropriation and the ongoing question of what is (and isn’t) yoga.

  • Lakshmi is the divine devi of beauty, abundance, light and radiance. She symbolises the love, grace and purity within all beings.

    Lakshmi immersion deepens and develops your personal yoga sadhana and your ability to lead small asana, pranayama, mudra, and meditation practices with your fellow sadhakas. We will integrate the knowledge and skills acquired in our training and channel your learning to develop your unique teaching techniques and style. You will explore the Art of Yoga Assists to enhance your teaching skills. You will cultivate and elevate your experience to become an abundant and authentic yoga teacher.

    During this immersion, you will reflect on your unique yoga journey to develop an authentic voice and style that defines you as a yoga teacher. You will learn visionary business and marketing skills that enable you to build a successful yoga career that aligns with your highest intention and expression of Self. We illumine the teacher within so that you may follow your own heart’s calling.

    You will graduate as a qualified yoga teacher with internationally recognized Yoga Alliance certification and a wonderful journey ahead of you. Lakshmi Immersion closes with a beautiful Graduation Celebration at Emilio’s Cafe and Sunset Gratitude Sadhana.
