Embodied Yoga Principles Teacher Training – 4 day immersion

with Karin van Maanen and Jamie Abrams

Thursday 24th – Sunday 27th October 2019 from 9am to 6pm plus Saturday evening

 

Stand alone price: £660

 

The Embodied Yoga Principles (EYP) teacher training is a well-structured, intense and pragmatic course in Embodied Yoga for people wishing to grow personally and use EYP professionally. You may be interested in EYP teacher training for one or more of several reasons.

Apply if you would like:

​

• a deep dive into self-awareness and personal growth 

• to develop new aspects of your yoga practice & teaching, that's deep yet practical 

• to use elements of EYP to psychologically enrich your own yoga classes and help students get their learning "off the mat"

• to teach dedicated EYP classes

• to join a supportive dynamic international community 

• to learn postures that can be used as part of coaching & training outside of yoga 

• to have fun learning something new and unique

• It consists of four days, some pre-coursework (mostly watching videos)

• and personal and teaching practice afterwards if you wish

​

The training is as much about developing as a person as it is about picking up new techniques and the principles themselves, so you can practice EYP in your own creative way. 

Because Embodied Yoga is a set of principles rather than a style, it can add a new dimension to any approach to yoga practice from yin yoga to viniyasa flow, and be used creatively. 

​

The training is not to be taken lightly as involves some work and much personal challenge. It will be deep, fun, personally and professionally enriching, but not all easy. 

​

We have an application process including informal interview with a lead trainer. It is for people who have already completed at least 200 hr yoga teacher training. As the course can be emotionally and psychologically challenging, it is not suitable if you have had a recent major life change or are having acute mental health issues.

Compassion practice in yoga – 1-day module

with Karin van Maanen

Saturday 25th January 2020 10am – 5pm

​

Stand alone price: £80

 

How can we bring the active intention of compassion into the way we practice and teach yoga, and apply principles of compassion training into our work and daily lives? This can enrich our relationships with ourselves and others, prevent “compassion fatigue” and burn-out. Karin studied the neurology of compassion as part of her MSc in Mindfulness Studies and has explored the application of this extensively in secular and Buddhist mindfulness and embodiment training. The weekend will mainly be practical and experiential. More background on the research of compassion will be explored in the June module.
