MARCH 28 - APRIL 5, 2015
500HR TURBODOG YOGA TEACHER TRAINING with Steve Emmerman & Talya Ring
Module 2: Process & Ceremony -- Intentional Healing
Hotel La Catalina, Dominican Republic
Infusing your yoga with spiritual practices such as shamanic journeys, Native American ceremonies, and energy- and process-work elevates the potency of your teaching, allowing you to use it very deliberately as a powerful healing tool. You will learn to weave your own creativity into the various ceremonies and processes in order to create meaningful practices with your own stamp on them for your students. With this strong foundation you will be able to lead healing work in any area.
Doing Ceremony in a good way requires connection to the Earth and her Elements. The region of Cabrera in the Dominican Republic has incredibly potent land, allowing training participants to tap into the rhythm of the natural world and to open to the Great Mystery. The Earth there buzzes with aliveness; the Waters speak a magic loud enough for all to hear; the Air caresses with the promise of connecting to Spirit, and all around Nature is so tangible. It is the perfect place to learn how to lead Ceremony and Process.
We will be staying at the beautiful Hotel La Catalina all week.
