Though we honor the ancient yoga texts, with all their wisdom and symbolism, this is not a traditional teacher training. There is no dogma. This is not about religion.

You will be on a path of self discovery, learning, growing and transforming. You will let go of anything not essential for your higher good. You will have a new understanding of life.

You will be stronger, more flexible, and healthier in your mind, body and spirit. You will breath better. You will be more loving, and joyful. And you will be empowered beyond anything you have imagined. You will be in a different place, a different time, a different world, and will be exploring different ways of being and thinking. This will be self empowering, and will change your life.

When: March 11th – April 6th, 2013

Where: Bali, Indonesia. When I first arrived in Bali in ’97, before Internet, when there was little beyond Kuta and most of the roads in Ubud other than the Palace and Monkey Forest were not paved, it was and continues to be a love affair. Bali’s lush island eco system, rich cultural heritage & deeply spiritual Hindu population combine to make Bali one of the world’s most enchanting places to visit. The mountains, beaches and rice fields hold mysteries for all to explore. I travel all over the world, and no where do I feel how I feel in Bali. Though Bali has changed a lot, the people and their culture remains a constant, and I continue to feel the Magic, returning for months at a time, year after year.

Bali’s rich culture also includes traditional holistic healing therapies like ‘Jamu’. This healing spirit enhances the energy making if the perfect environment for your immersion into the healing energies of Yoga and Meditation to nurture, heal and expand your consciousness.

Why: To enhance your life. I believe we are our own GURU, ‘Gee you are You’. Yoga and Meditation are the most amazing tools for self discovery, and personal transformation. Whether you plan to teach, or have decided to make an investment in your own health, wellbeing and peace of mind, this is a program (Sabbatical) I feel everyone should partake in at least once in their lifetime. If you are already a teacher this is a chance for your to deepen your practice, and/or give yourself some care taking.

Take your yoga studies to a deeper level with our realistic approach. Develop a personal practice that is grounded. Find happiness in sharing your love for yoga with others. Find your voice as a Yogi. Learn the Sutras and how they relate to life today while taking your personal practice and skills to new heights. Learn to lead Yoga Nidra. Learn to share yoga with everyone! So do join us to discover how you share yoga, by learning what’s come before you, and applying this wisdom to current modern day issues, lifestyle’s and ailments.
