30-Daagse 200-urige Gecertificeerde Integrale Yoga en Meditatie Docentenopleiding in Heks

Faciliteiten

Akasha Retreat Center program is meant to deeply transform the energies of the body, awaken the wisdom of the heart and spirit and enable you to teach yoga in an authentic, holistic and traditional way. It gradually leads us from the gross to the subtle, refining the energies and the perception while learning practical and hands-on methods of asana alignment, sequencing and much more.

To teach yoga in an authentic way, you have to embody, integrate and live yoga on all levels to the best of your capacity, with compassion to yourselves and others. Teaching yoga may trigger a big shift in one's level of awareness, lifestyle and the way you perceive yourselves and the world. This program guides you step by step through this process.

In integral Hatha yoga, you will integrate all the branches of yoga. Whereas, in most modern hatha yoga styles, the focus is only on postures.

Together with an in-depth focus on mastering the asanas and understanding the benefits and counter-indications, Akasha Retreat Center integrate as well chanting, pranayama, mudras, bandhas, and meditation in a hatha yoga session.

Anatomy:

As a medical doctor, fascia therapist and yoga teacher, Rianne will share with you her passion and in-depth knowledge of the systems of the body involved in yoga, the functioning of the muscles, joints and bones, prevention of injuries, fascia lines, and much more. The focus is both on theory and, most importantly, on how to practically adapt this knowledge in order to ensure a safe, transformative and restorative practice.

The teacher training will be held in Akasha Retreat Center. We are located in Heks, a small village in the East of Belgium. The building where you will be living and practicing has a very special and sacred energy. It was built in 1830 and served as a school and monastery for nuns. The echoes of this history can still be heard in stillness.

It is surrounded by fields, trees, nature and a beautiful castle. You will be sharing the house with all the students and teachers. We see community living as an essential part of the training. By living together, we can inspire each other, as well as face all the triggers that may arise from a loving space of the heart.
