Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka
This unique training complements the rich tradition of yogic teachings with a more contemporary, psychosomatic / embodied approach to spiritual empowerment. The ‘Sacred Sequence’ Vinyasa method by Conscious Corner blends free expression / intuitive movement with structural alignment and sequence, principles from the traditional Vinyasa method. The essence of the practice is authentic expression and expansion on and off the mat. This training focuses on experimental learning and exploration through the body/authentic movement, energy and emotions, speech, and community.
