Pillars of the program

To help you form an experiential understanding of the content of this program, we will employ 4 yogic tools, or experiential formats, as the basis for all learning and integration:

Sadhana: Spiritual practice

Students commit to ongoing regular practice which will be a combination of guided classes by Tanya as well as personal practice. The primary practices we will integrate are asana, pranayama, self inquiry, contemplation, meditation.

Satsang: Spiritual teachings

Receive teachings rooted in the tradition of yoga and veda whose singular purpose is fulfilment in human life. The teachings act as sacred keys that unlock and release the chains that bind and cause suffering. One by one, teaching by teaching, ever more freedom is known.

Sangha: Spiritual community

Stay connected to like minded, like-hearted, and like-spirited group of students. Together you will grow and keep each other accountable as well as mutually support each other through the highs and lows of this sacred process. Spiritual community is an essential component for success on this path. 

Swadyaya: Contemplation & Self Inquiry

While we do take time for formal study or concentrated practice, you will be self-reflecting, self-inquiring and applying your insights in real life situations. This takes it off the mat/cushion and integrates it into life, out of the head and integrates it into the body.

Who is this for?

 

The revelatory process of spiritual growth is born of regular practice, trustworthy guidance, unwavering passion for truth, an openness to self inquire, a courage to face your fears and live in alignment with your highest truth.

If you are feeling the spiritual call, if you feel a connection to the wisdom of Yoga, and you feel ready to do the inner work, this course is dedicated to you. You will receive step by step guidance in traditional Yoga teachings and practices which are designed to naturally, safely, efficiently chaperone you towards greater freedom and happiness.

This course is not about accumulating information, facts and relative knowledge; rather, through spiritual practice we enter into a liberating process that sheds untruth and reveals the essential nature of Being.

The spiritual journey is the quintessential hero's journey. It is not easy and there will be challenges to face and obstacles to overcome. It is often uncomfortable because intrinsic to the process is healing old wounds, breaking unhealthy habits and facing our shadow. Resiliency, radical honesty, courage, passion, discernment, commitment, and enormous self compassion are all essential.

This course is not meant for a fair-weather approach, it is designed for highly sincere students who are ready to do the inner work and have come to a point where they must follow their soul's call above all else.

FAQs

Q: Am I qualified to take this course?

The key qualification is a strong spiritual impulse and studentship: sincerity, openness, courage, commitment.

If you are feeling a strong, persistent spiritual call, and are ready for deep self inquiry - this may be the course for you.

It should be noted you do not need asana (yoga posture) training to take this course. What is more important is the spiritual impulse.

This course is not for everybody. It is not appropriate for the fair-weather student or someone with a history of mental illness.

Q: Why is the course 1 year long?

There is no quick fix on the spiritual path. True healing and spiritual transformation takes time and repetition. It took a lifetime to become conditioned with our separatist beliefs - these ideas tend to run deep, persistently, and insidiously. It takes time an ongoing attentiveness and compassion to shed this conditioning and put in new healthy habits.

This program offers a rare opportunity to experience the impact of a grounded, long term, intelligent practice. Furthermore, there will be high level of accountability which addresses one of the most common challenges for success in yoga. Together, the teachers and the community will help each other truly show up, clean up, grow up and wake up.
