We are happy to announce that Meditation Revealed is available in an on-line, pre-recorded format. This course will examine what meditation is, why we do it and how to do it, from a variety of viewpoints: From Eastern Yogic and Buddhist views to Western Philosophy and Psychotherapy. The course will include training in Deep Meditation to give the student an experiential basis for the practice of meditation. Additionally for yoga students and teachers alike, the course will look at the context of yoga through its evolution thousands of years ago to the modern practice. Finally, for those asking for a second level Yin Yoga training, we consider this course to be the follow on to the Yin Yoga Teacher Training program, although you do not need to have take that course to attend this one.

This is a second level Functional Anatomy training which goes beyond the basic information about anatomy and physiology offered in basic Yoga Teacher Trainings. Investigations will include determining your range of motion, what stops you from going further and whether it is a good idea to try to go further in certain areas. This training will help you educate your students on their uniqueness and how to determine what works best for them, rather than being told what they can and cannot do. The term “functional” is used to contrast this approach to instructions and alignment which focus on “aesthetics,” which is a pre-conceived notion of how people should look rather than what actually works for them. This will be the last in-person offering of this training.
