Pranayama Intensive for Teachers
with Swami Karunananda, E-RYT 500
November 30 - December 2, 2018
As a Yoga teacher, you are a link in an eternal chain—one that continues with each new student that discovers and embraces the teachings. While asana practice has gone mainstream, the subtler teachings of pranayama, which impact physical health, vitality, mental peace, and spiritual awakening, are not as widely known. This intensive is an opportunity to clarify, deepen, and refine your own practice and to learn skills for imparting these teachings to others. If you teach someone how to utilize the breath properly, you will have given that person a key to a happy, healthy, and successful life.
A thorough exploration of pranayama theory and techniques will cover the following topics:
- Pranayama and health
- Pranic healing visualization
- Prana and the mind
- Dealing with stress
- Prana and the subtle body
- Awakening the kundalini
Additionally, an in-depth discussion of teaching methodology will include instruction on how to design a class, elements of a dynamic teaching style, and ideas for inspiring and guiding students.
Come join us and immerse yourself in these deeper teachings of Yoga. Refine your own practice and leave with tools that will enable you to share these beneficial practices with others.
