Program

Kindred Spirits: Healing sanctuary and farm

Their programs are based on years of collective experience, studies, and observations by women who've come together as kindred spirits. This training and retreat will be hosted by Terry Newton and lead together with Johanna Holst, Enrica Andreeto, and Adriana Kamala.

You will delve deep into different practices, exploring advanced pranayama, asana, mantra, mudras, and kriya practices. Moreover, you will begin to learn Sanskrit, a language that reveals the power behind ancient mantras and offers a deeper understanding of yoga philosophy.

Immerse in a transformative journey with Kindred Spirits' 300-hour YTT program. Start a journey of self-change that improves your understanding of the Indian science of yoga. Follow the paths of ancient rishis and gurus, using their knowledge to improve your life and find deeper meaning. This journey needs commitment, but it promises great rewards.

The 300-hour YTT course covers a wide range of topics, including Tantra, Ayurveda, Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, Yin yoga, yoga Nidra, advanced pranayama and meditation, advanced yoga poses, study of ancient texts, advanced anatomy, introduction to Sanskrit, mantra, mudras, and healing with horses through breath and meditation.

The course aims to provide extensive knowledge for self-healing, deepen understanding of yoga philosophy and principles, enhance well-being, and promote a pathway to inner peace, mental clarity, and heightened spiritual awareness.

The foundation of the practice rests on traditional yoga practices from India. You will do more than just follow these practices. You will study, understand, and practice their teachings, allowing them to inspire and guide you on your path to self-realization.

The goal isn't just to learn but to become, to embody these teachings in your daily life, bringing a sense of peace and fulfillment that extends beyond the yoga mat.

The pillar teachings of the program

Tantra: The 10 wisdom goddesses

  • Navigating the realm of the 10 tantric wisdom deities
  • 30 contact hours + 20 non-contact hours = 50 hours

Join for a transformative journey with Tantra: The 10 wisdom goddesses. Delve into the right-handed path of Tantra, connecting with the energy of the 10 wisdom goddesses for spiritual awakening, abundance, inner freedom, and deep intimacy. This course is aimed to reconnect both genders with the often neglected feminine energy in a consumer-driven world.

Through practices like mantra, visualizations, teachings, meditation, and stories, you'll connect with the sacred feminine, cultivating love, fearlessness, and mastery. Experience the world with skill, ease, and delight as you integrate these teachings into your daily life. The focus will be on celebrating life and guiding others towards joy and abundance.

Note that Kindred Spirits doesn't teach the left-handed Tantra path which includes alcohol, meat, and sexual intimacy. Their teachings are focused on the right-handed path of yoga and the transformative power of the 10 wisdom goddesses.

Ayurveda essentials

  • A gateway to holistic well-being
  • 30 contact hours + 20 non-contact hours = 50 hours

This 50-hour course will provide a foundational understanding of Ayurveda, a timeless healing system. The comprehensive program will equip you with self-healing techniques that you can apply personally and share with loved ones.

Delve into Ayurvedic principles, lifestyle therapies, and healing modalities. Gain an understanding of Ayurvedic anatomy, physiology, disease processes, and treatment modalities including diet, herbs, and meditation.

Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga

  • Deepening mindfulness through Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga
  • 30 contact hours + 20 non-contact hours = 50 hours

Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, a practice deeply rooted in ancient wisdom, carries a rich tradition and lineage. Devoting time to understand the profound philosophy and fascinating history behind Ashtanga Vinyasa will not only enrich your comprehension of the practice, but will also deepen your appreciation of the art of yoga as a whole.

The essence of Ashtanga Vinyasa lies in the profound concentration and presence it demands throughout the entire practice. It insists on an undivided, continual focus on the rhythmic flow of your breath and the sensations within your body. This concentrated focus cultivates a state of mindfulness that extends beyond the yoga mat, permeating every aspect of daily life.

By consciously directing your attention in this manner during your Ashtanga Vinyasa practice, you invite an increased awareness of your inner self. This heightened awareness fosters a deeper understanding not just of oneself, but also of your relationship with the world around you.

The wisdom and profound self-discovery that emerge from a dedicated practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga are among the many gifts it bestows.

"Soulful surrender: The essence of Yin yoga practice”

  • 50 hours

Embark on a transformative journey with Kindred Spirts' Yin yoga 50-hour training. Immerse yourself in the serene embrace of Yin, a softer yet profound practice that nurtures the Yin tissues of your body - the ligaments, joints, fascial networks, and even the bones.

Yin yoga, with its yielding and nourishing nature, provides a counterbalance to the dynamic force of Yang yoga, fostering harmony on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

Delve into the rich tapestry of Yin's history, theory, and the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chinese cosmology. Learn the art of teaching methodology, Yin poses, and class structure, and unravel the secrets of the five elements, meridians, and anatomy tailored for Yin yoga.

Discover the benefits tied to the five elements, meridians, qi, and the physical body, honing your skills to practice, teach, create sequences, and infuse storytelling into your classes. Join in this exploration, where the gentleness of Yin becomes a transformative journey into balance and well-being.
