Learn how to teach Yin and Restorative Yoga. As well as the postures found in the Yin and Restorative traditions you will also learn 5 element assists, Authentic movement, somatic inquiry, and accommodation for common diseases and concerns. Purusha methodology includes unique techniques and therapeutic practices that will enable you and your students to deepen your understanding of the subtle layers of mind, body, energy and consciousness. By bringing clients into specific therapeutic asanas we set the stage for learning practices that explore relaxation, letting go, witnessing what is, and connecting to parts of ourselves and spiritual source that promote entirely new paradigms of relationship with sensation, nature, and all realms of experience. This voyage of exploration and progressive mastery takes place by learning to arrange the physical body into positions that are restorative, relaxing, therapeutic and completely supported while also expertly navigating deeper and deeper pathways of consciousness.
Purusha Yoga Yin, Restorative & Therapeutic Asana is a deep dive into the five layers or âkoshasâ of somatic experiences, neuromuscular pathways, the five senses, and time/space/experience integration. The specific postures are just the starting point for layering mind and body, energy and consciousness, and eventual evolution of transformation on every level of the human âbeingâ.Â
The course includes specific techniques from Hatha, Tantra, Tibetan, and Raja, paths of breathing, guided meditations, mudra, intentions, nadi (sound) and integration of all 8 limbs.
