Yoga Teacher Training - Level 1 With Heather Elton & Emil Wendel- Goa, India

Satsanga Retreat, Goa, India: 9 February - 10 March, 2013

Yoga Teacher Training - Level 1
Yoga Alliance Accreditation (200+ hours)

We believe that Yoga is not gymnastics. It is an ancient science that uses the body and breath to understand the mechanisms of the mind and liberate us from suffering. With this in mind, we treat asana as the starting place for meditation so that the practice moves beyond a mere physical experience and makes the yogic inquiry genuine and relevant to real life.

We believe that the Guru lies within. We will do everything in our power to help you on this journey that will transform your perspective on the world and change your life.

2500 GBP (Includes yoga tuition/2 Ayurvedic vegetarian meals a day/twin share accommodation.)

Apply now, space is limited!

Beyond the Asana Intensive Yoga Retreat in Bali With Emil E. Wendel

16 June - 23 June 2012

This 7-day workshop with Emil is designed to introduce the practitioner, in the delightful mountain environment of Bali, to both a stimulating postural practice, and the magic that lies beyond the physical aspect of Yoga.

The retreat hotel, Ananda Cottages, Ubud, has two yoga studios that overlook rice felds and distant blue mountains - a truly beautiful environment to be. Participants will practice together between 7 and 8 hours a day in a combination of early morning and afternoon classes.
Asana, Prânâyâma and guided meditation are combined with seminars in yoga philosophy and background information on the techniques involved. The course offers deeper insight into Mudras and Mantras, meditation techniques of Tantra, and forms of Nada Yoga, and also includes paying respect to the spiritual environment with a private yogic ceremony at night in one of the temples and shrines near Ubud. There is the privilege to have Kirtan-singer and classical musician Geoffrey Gordon (who worked with Ram Dass, Rumi poet Coleman Barks, and Jai Uttal, among many others) joining us in this Ubud retreat. Geoffrey will give the dawn sessions a coloring of Bhakti - the yoga of devotion, through his gentle voice and play. In addition, he is leading one evening of Kirtan, with his musician friends.
This is a full workshop, with depth and joyfulness. All levels are welcome - but for those who have never practiced Asanas or Pranayama, a good degree of physical ftness is recommended.

Please see the Retreat Flyer http://issuu.com/beyond-the-asana/docs/beyond_the_asana_2012 or contact Emil directly under emilewendel@gmail.com

You will also have an opportunity for an Ayurvedic consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic Doctor. This course is an opportunity for self-learning and a starting place for teaching yoga. On this course we will establish the basics of teaching, communication, adjustments, sequencing, anatomy & physiology, yoga philosophy, pranayama & meditation and all aspects of yoga to give you a solid foundation. You will learn to teach and adjust both Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. You will explore all of these topics on a personal level as well as for teaching purposes.

Teaching is a vocation and a journey of depth and richness. This course simply offers you a starting point.

It is important you understand this is not a “yoga holiday” or a “retreat” before you apply.
