Yin Yoga & Philosophy Teacher Training IV - Seminarhaus Pegasus, North Germany
(in German)
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." (Confucius)
When one arrives, we feel, as yin yoga practitioners and teachers that it is no longer work,
but rather a gift.
Through the previous training levels, we have enough knowledge under our anatomy belts to understand and sense the more refined energy work of the meridians and to explore the implications for our own practice and that of our students.
The desire is for the energy – internally and externally – to be tangible for each and every student, so that our teaching becomes authentic and not only theoretical.
Furthermore, besides delving into yoga philosophy and the theory of energy work you can expect to be taken on a very personal, energetic and emotional journey this week with much yin yoga, meditation and pranayama practice.
The intention of this course – the middle way (Buddha's teaching) – the journey inwards – the journey to our essence.
Welcome to Yin Yoga & Philosophy Teacher Training IV
This 50-hour certified intensive yoga teaching programme (6 days) comprises 6 sections:
1. Yin Yoga Asanas
In this continuance of our yin yoga teacher training programme, we focus mainly on the chakras and meridian work. For asana practice, this means learning to be aware of the subtle chi (energy) flow in the meridians, and to feel its effects on the balance of both body and mind.
2. Yoga Philosophy
In the yoga philosophy section, we study the ultimate goal of practising yoga. To do this, To do this, we use the Samkhya philosophy to explain the Indian model of reincarnation, karma and the great yoga universe and describe the path of a yogi.
We will study Patanjali and his first 4 yoga sutras to assist our exploration and will delve intensively into the 8 limbs of yoga. Here we will show how essential the practice of meditation is.
3. Chakras and Meridian Theory
In this section, we examine chakra theory as the energy centre of our body and discover the sense and power of practising chakra meditation on the spiritual path to enlightenment.
4. Theory – Meditation, Pranayama and Anatomy
Teaching the theory of meditation (dharana – concentration / dhyana – seeing what is), pranayama (breath control), pratahara (looking inwards and directing energy to the spinal column) and the corresponding anatomy is both fascinating and exhilarating.
5. Practice – Meditation, Pranayama and Anatomy
Fully conversant with the theory of meditation, we are now ready to move on to meditation practice.
Each day, we will examine and practice a topic in more detail:
Chakra meditation over two days
Pranayama exercises
Pratyahara exercises
Shushumna purification
This practice offers an insight into and provides a taster of the Yin Therapy Meditation Training (35h or 100h). The Yin Therapy Meditation Teacher Training (35h) and Yin Therapy Meditation Retreat/TT (100 hours) can lead to a profound personal experience and transformation.
