10-day Therapeutic Teacher Training

Taught by Aadil, Mirra, and Certified Purna Yoga Instructors

Aug 4-13, 2009

• Begins on Tuesday, Aug 4 at 12:00pm; ends on Thursday, Aug 14 at 5:00 pm

As a yoga teacher, your ability to support your students’ healing process requires two things: an understanding of yoga therapeutics, and inner wisdom. Knowing the therapeutic applications of yoga gives you the technical knowledge of how to use asana for healing. The deepening of your inner wisdom, by opening the Heart Chakra, allows you to know how to apply the knowledge so it affects the deepest healing in the student. This 10-day intensive will use all that Purna Yoga has to offer (asana, pranayama, meditation, yogic philosophy, nutrition, and lifestyle), giving you the tools and the wisdom you need to help your students grow and thrive—without depleting yourself. Aadil’s immense knowledge and expertise in asana, the physical and energetic body, and yoga therapeutics are unsurpassed. When this asana knowledge is integrated with Purna Yoga Meditation, you have a powerful tool for transformation and healing.
Prerequisite: Minimum of 3 years alignment-based asana.
