In Alliance with SchoolYoga Institute
Sacred Valley, Peru
July 26 - August 20, 2015
We invite you to travel with us to the Sacred Valley of Peru where among the beauty of the mountains, waterfalls and hotsprings, we are able to co-create with nature’s innate wisdom. These sacred sites and power places (wakas) hold a high vibrational energy for self-healing and transformation. When we access these magical realms, everything becomes more vivid and exciting. The prana of the mystical world is brought to life, and we begin to see the beauty, perfection and bliss that is all around and within us. This is union with the Divine. This is Yoga.
During this incredible 300 Hour Shamanic Yoga Teacher Training, we walk down the path of the ancient teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda while exploring the pre-Incan practices of Shamanic Healing and Plant Wisdom. Yoga (union with the Divine) and Shamanism (interaction with the spirit world) are both practices designed to grant us access to the infinite wisdom we carry within our selves. Come join us as we embrace the fusion of these internal practices and enjoy the harmonious journey to the soul.
The ancient teachings of the Medicine Wheel will provide an anchor for this intense, transformational experience. Energetically guided by the cycles of the four wind directions, we come to sense the inner anatomy of our bodies, and access the emotional patterns and attachments held in the mind. From there, we learn to reveal our passions and use the mystical gifts within to shift perceptions and dream our world into being.
We hope you will join us on this profound, sacred, experience…where you will see with your own eyes the invisible world of shamanism and integrate the mystical power and elemental nature of yoga and Ayurveda. Now is the time to embrace the wisdom of these teachings and reveal ourselves to ourselves. In the words of the Hopi Elders: “We are the ones that we’ve been waiting for.”
We would love to connect with you personally to share more details about the nature of this training, and begin a conversation about your participation in the course. We look forward to expanding and exploring further with you!

Curriculum

Our Yoga Teacher Training is a holistic program; to understand Yoga you must first understand Self... body, mind, and spirit. We use the four directions of the Native American Medicine wheel as a guide and foundational structure for the course. Within each direction we will focus on different types of movment, diet, and meditation. We bring to life the ancient teachings of Yoga through accessible spiritual lessons, a solid foundation in Yogic philosophy, and a daily Yoga practice. The curriculum includes the following:

We also have lectures, discussions and activities that cover Yoga philosophy, Yoga theory, Yogic living, Yoga diet, Yoga anatomy, and Yogic healing. We end our day with after dinner Satsang (wise gathering) to contemplate and reflect on our sadhana (spiritual practice) of the day.

Much of my career has been in the Luxury Spa Industry. I was a founding member at Aveda Corporation, a Global Lifestyle brand focusing on beauty, fashion, and wellness. As an international trainer I facilitated and launched countless luxury spas and retail locations all over the world. I have hosted and led corporate retreats, inspiring and motivating people to live a healthy lifestyle. ~ The Ritual of Inspiration
I created Rasa Bhava Beauty to share and inspire others that everything in life is sacred. To turn the ordinary into the extra-ordinary is important! We are part of the spirit of nature and to honor it,is to honor our-self. To have an attitude of gratitude and joy is what illuminates the heart and mind, transforming present moments into extraordinary! This is what I offer in my Ayurvedic treatments, an opportunity to immerse oneself in the nourishing elixir of life and taste the magic of transformation. ~The Ritual of Beauty I am the co-founder of Satyam Healing Arts a partnership created with my husband Goyo Fawley. Our mission is to support health and wellness through Yoga, Ayurveda, Lifestyle education, as well as cultural appreciation through global eco-adventures and lifestyle retreats. We offer services in Ayurveda lifestyle consultations and treatments, conscious cooking classes, Ayurveda face and body rejuvenation, Yoga/Ayurveda and Surf retreats. We also facilitate with Sadhana Yoga School and School Yoga Institute leading 200hr/300hr YTT worldwide.~The Ritual of Transformation My style of teaching Yoga is of the heart (Anahata) dedicated to the great Vedic Science of Yoga and Ayurveda. I am committed to teaching an integral form of yoga that combines the classical yoga system of Patanjali, integrated with the healing Science of Ayurveda. I give grace and gratitude to all my teachers, Eric Shiffman, Dr. Vasant Lad, Judith Lasater, Mas Vidal, Rod Stryker and Saul David Raye who have laid the foundation for my teachings.~The Ritual of Breath |
