Intensives 2022
COURSES
Intensives
We will be offering our month-long Teacher’s Intensive in Darmstadt-Eberstadt, Germany from August 5 - 30, 2024. This training has evolved over the last 20 years of teaching it to include a broad range of topics of study and practices geared for yoga teachers and students interested in deepening the practice. In this year’s intensives we will meet weekdays to practice asana and experience the internal and external forms of the poses. We will also have a weekend silent sit, hands-on practicum sessions, lectures specific to interfacing yoga with Buddhism as well as how to apply the teachings to everyday life. We will explore other limbs of yoga, including chanting, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, therapeutics, and Indian philosophies. We are delighted that our anatomy teacher, Todd Garcia, will be able to join us in Germany to teach two days of cadaver study as part of this course as well. Please apply if you are interested!
