3 Weeks Immersion in Goa - Yin & Yoga in Balance
This Yang & Yin yoga teacher training program is designed to allow you to be able to teach the full spectrum yoga has to offer. By practicing both styles, we are re-balancing the body, mind, and soul at once, gaining fitness, and understanding to listen closely.
Through finding a balance in our physical yoga practice, we allow this experience to guide us on the path to find balance on a mental and emotional level. Through working with our body and breath in a variety of scenarios, we fine-tune our insight and intuition, and this in turn will allow us to deepen the understanding of our own and our students well-being.
You will get to know more about additional methods and a variety of meditation approaches to support this journey. We will work with mudras, mantras, chakras, visualization and the power of breath. Together we create a safe space to learn, connect and share and invite a long-lasting transformation.
