Support Between Modules

We will organise "Work groups" for this course once we get started. You will be requested to check in with your group (3-4 people) at least once a month to support each other in any of the tasks set for the periods between modules. Also to be sounding boards for each other as you begin to integrate your new skills and information.

We will set  up a private facebook group where you can post questions or comments. I will post a live video to answer questions or review something that perhaps you want clarification with. I find this works really well for everyone in the group and we can use it to also check in with each other, share ideas or notify the group if you have an event coming up in your area that you'd like to invite your fellow students to.

You must have completed a 200 hour level 1 teacher training and be teaching regular classes for at least 18 months.

You have had a regular daily practice for at least 4-5 years.

Students who have completed a Brahmani training or a training with one of the other teachers, will get first consideration. Please apply for this course with a willingness to go through the processes of understanding classic Yoga history as well as being open to new ideas regarding the process of yoga.

Please note: If you do not meet all the requirements please don't rule yourself out. These are just a guideline. Reach out and ask!

Brahmani style vinyasa flow sequencing
Brahmani-style uses repetition, layering of movement, working with the subtle and gross energies of the body to create flows that can be appropriate for any level, age and ability. Through repition and layering we are able to gently guide students in an embodied practice full of exploration, negotiation and freedom.

The History of Yoga Philosophy and it’s importance on the Modern Yoga World
A large aspect of this course will be looking at how yoga has evolved through the millennia as lineages morphed into each other and how we arrive at a current understanding of what that means to us a modern yoga practitioners.

Communication skills
As we transition from a shape based practice to an embodied one we need new language skills and you will learn the how and why to implement this into your daily teaching.

Working with beginners and students with limited mobility
There is still a large part of the population that won’t walk into a regular yoga class due to feeling incapable. We will focus on how to reach this large demographic and how to approach an embodied practice that suits them.

Understanding natural movement, movement anatomy and fascia
Understanding natural movement, anatomy and fascia in our own bodies and how that affects our practice is an essential part of evolving how we move and teach. When we let go of the old anatomical ideas and embrace current principles of movement and stillness we can begin to embody the practice and move with freedom.

Daily Pranayama and Dhyana
Having a daily Pranayama and Dhyana will enhance your home practice. Every morning during this course we start with pranayama and dhyana (meditation) as this is one of the most valuable tools we have in order to embody our yoga

Workshop creation and presentation
An important part of the course is gathering information on a subject and being guided through to creating and then presenting a workshop at the end of the training. You can find your ability to specialise or just dive into some aspect of yoga that you would love to study intensely.

Daily chanting of Mantras
As part of our daily practice during the course we will go through Vedic and Upanishadic mantras to learn and chant as part of our understanding of the Bhakti element of the practices.

Sacred Dance
Sacred Dance is an improvisational movement, looking at therapeutic qualities of non verbal communication. This part of the course will include how to dive into the layers of emotion once we remove our need to create shapes and have set structures.

Study of ethics in Yoga
We look into our concepts of ethics in practice and presentation. What are we offering as yoga and where are our boundaries within that.

The 'business' of Yoga
It’s a fine line trying to maintain our integrity in a yoga world that is growing fast and furious with all sorts of commercialisation. We learn how to maintain our personal authenticity while still letting people know what we are doing and why.

Understanding Yogic rituals
An important element that often gets lost in modern society we will participate a few Yogic Rituals allowing you to experience how the philosophy, energy and ceremony come together in Puja, Siva and Bhakti context.

Leadership
You will learn tools to enhance your ability to be an authentic teacher and inspire others. We will dive into the deeper questioning of why we practice, and why we teach and ensuring we are following on the right path, meeting our Dharma and how to bring that into our teaching.
