[SOLD OUT]

Early March brings us a potent opportunity to awaken to our rich inner life and cleanse the views of our perceptions.

Meet yourself at the altar of your subtle body temple for a 20hr Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training investigating Yin & Restorative Yoga, intermingled with the inner methods: Buddhist Psychological Principles of Mindfulness, Physiology of Pranayam/Breathwork, Unique Anatomy of our inimitable Asana practice, and our Pranic Pathways.

Join internationally celebrated Yin & Dharma teacher Kali Basman on the journey back to the Self.

Our focus together for this time will be on the contemplative side of yoga, the internal methods of cultivating the bodymind complex, harnessing the chi body, distributing its resources. The Buddha used one word in his sermons more than any other- Bhavana. Meaning, to cultivate. The trainings we offer are a nod towards human's agency to direct our attention to areas in which we’d like to manifest. As neuroplastic beings, where to attend to, is where our force field grows and thickens. Through consistent discipline practice mingled with the soft expanse of heart methods such as Tonglen, Compassion practices, authentic relating in partner practices and diads, we encourage deep roots. These roots become the foundation of our daily practice so that we aren’t plucked from our fertile soil when the winds of turbulence meet our brief display of vital life in this body. Our yin trainings and retreats are a commitment to the inner dimensions of experience, a willingness to open up inside & wonder.

Suitable for beginners. A background of interest in Yoga and/or Meditation is assumed.
