What will you learn at this advanced training?
This retreat is designed to empower you to be able to offer more in-depth workshops and retreats to others that include yogic philosophy, pranayama breathing techniques, guided meditation, and Tantra-themed yoga classes that have the support to hold asanas for long periods, to become more connected to the subtle energy practice of yoga.
During this advanced certification, you will also be taught how to offer sacred dance journeys with varied themes, Bhajans (devotional singing), and a simple form of fire ceremony so that you can offer more variety as a retreat facilitator and teacher.
