Elemental Yoga

Asana

In this yoga teacher training, you will experience outstanding training in both the strength and surrender of hatha yoga asana. You will also learn to sequence enjoyable, challenging and unique experiences for yourself and your students. First and foremost, this is an experiential training for your benefit. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you will leave this training with an experience of truth and sovereignty in a changing world.

In somatics, the field of bodywork and movement studies, soma means “the body as perceived from within”. Somatic practices are designed to explore your inner landscape and felt sense, learning to feel places of tightness, expansion, dullness, blockages, movement and perceive emotions like fear, anger, joy and relaxed awareness. You will learn tools to sense and regulate the nervous system to be able to enter relaxed awareness (parasympathetic mode) more and more often.  The environment will be a nourishing and supportive place for you to learn to sense and heal from the inside out.

Energy Anatomy

Energy anatomy is the inner map of the body’s invisible energy centers and pathways.  In Elemental Yoga Teacher Training on Maui, you will learn this subtle map and how to navigate it within.  You will learn energy practices to integrate into your yoga practice and teaching that will tone the nervous system and tune the chakras, for resiliency and energetic alignment.

You will learn to map the pathways of this essential flow and direct healing energy both to yourself and your future yoga students through a Reiki level one certification as part of our Yoga teacher training.  

The energy body is the foundation of our physical and emotional life. Understanding your energy anatomy creates alignment, harmony and balance as you navigate the peaks and valleys of your life experience.

Ceremony

If movement works with the conscious realm of existence and subtle anatomy with the subconscious, ceremony bridges the gap into the unconscious. Ceremony rounds out this holistic psychological approach into Chakra Yoga Teacher Training, as we work with all three important aspects of the psyche.

Ceremony has been practiced throughout time. It’s a space where actions taken in the physical world (dancing, chanting, creating mandalas and fire offerings) relate to and affect higher realms. In ceremony, you step out of ordinary time and into a liminal space of the symbolic, where deep healing can occur. As we engage physically, mentally through intention, and emotionally with our hearts, all levels of perception activate. We contact and make space for the soul to live fully in the body.
