Who:
Deb Bobier, 500 RYT Yoga Teacher, Holistic Lifestyle Coach &
Founder of YogaBound.com
What:
Join us in the tropics of Bali in 2012 for our 200 hour Yoga
Alliance accredited Yoga Teacher Training Program. Our trainings
draw on the ancient wisdom of Ashtanga, Iyengar, Yin, Yang,
Power, Vinyasa, Karma and other Hatha Yoga Styles concentrating
on the practical, theoretical, and experiential to give you a
comprehensive education, and transformational experience.
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 31st - May 1st 2012 (31 nights/32days)
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. So 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.
Curriculum:
This is an intense immersion training. It will be physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually challenging, demanding,
enlightening, and uplifting. We will be working 8-10 hours a day
Monday - Friday, half a day Saturday and there is a lot of self
study (reading). And though just being in Bali is the most
amazing of experiences, you will have the 1.5 days off per week
to rest, relax, have a massage, shop, read, or experience the
beauty of the rice fields, mountains, temples, ceremonies, the
sound of gamelan and other pleasures Bali has to offer.
What to expect:
The dynamic and conscious practice of asana is the foundation
for this training. You will be exposed to Hatha Yoga using the
aspects of Ashtanga, Iyengar and other yoga masters. The asana
practice will acess the intelligence and wisdom from each of the
postures resulting in a stronger, more flexible body. We will
study in-depth the Asana practice focusing on alignment,
modifications, prop usage, pose sequencing, and adjusting
skills. Additionally we will explore the subtle body with
Pranayama (breathwork techniques), Meditation (self inquiry,
stress reduction, Vipassana), The Chakras (energy work), Mudras
(hand symbols), Bandha's (locks), and Ayurveda, the Science of
Life. Along with practical teaching fundamentals, methodology,
communication skills, business fundamentals, ethics, philosophy,
lifestyle, mantra's, kirtan's, anatomy & physiology (physical
and energetic), Pre Natal Yoga, and learning about Seva, or
Karma Yoga (which you may practice while here if you like.)
What you will need is an open mind, open heart, a willingness to
make this commitment, and courage.
