about this event

200-HR TEACHER TRAINING IN LA!

Get Certified in East Los Angeles

Weekends at Yogala, Echo Park I January 11 – March 15, 2020

with SHIVAKALI YOGA ॐ


A BLISSFUL, POWERFUL JOURNEY INTO THE HEART

Shivakali Yoga offers a 200-Hour Vinyasa Flow yoga teacher training. We believe in immersing students in the ancient spiritual, philosophical and meditative traditions that gave birth to modern Yoga, while providing them with a firm ground in modern alignment, anatomical training, sequencing, and approaches to practice.

This 11 – week Yoga Teacher Training in Los Angeles offers locals a chance to study in the comfort of their own city, and integrate the practice into their daily lives. Along with instructing asana (postures), studying alignment + practice teaching, we will participate in weekly yoga classes of various styles, study/practice meditation, chant kirtan, hold council, discuss yoga’s philosophical texts, visit sacred sites, and explore what these teachings mean for ourselves as individuals + for our community as a whole.

Whether you are interested in teaching your loved ones, earning an income as a Yoga instructor, or solely being called to deepen your practice, we welcome you to join us on this path.

WHAT STYLE IS SHIVAKALI YOGA?

We teach an Alignment-Based Vinyasa “flow” practice, culminating in restorative postures, meditation and pranayama. Our practice focuses on presence centered awareness, serving first to awaken the body and break-up stuck energy, and then to soften the mind and nurture our inner being. Uniting the masculine + feminine aspects of practice we find freedom in movement, draw awareness from the mind to the heart, and allow insight to arise naturally.

*THIS 200-HR PROGRAM IS FULLY-ACCREDITED BY THE YOGA ALLIANCE.


COURSE OF TRAINING

Our Los Angeles yoga teacher training progresses over 11 weeks by a map of the Chakras, starting at the root and ending with the crown

•During the root segment, students will ground their intentions for teaching/practice, and learn the vast history of Yoga from the Vedas through the Upanishads, Buddhism, Yoga Sutras, Bhakti traditions, Tantric Lineages and contemporary Yoga Schools.

•In the sacral chakra we will uncover the countless layers of the subtle body, learn the principles of Ayurveda, gain an overview of classical Tantra, and practice Yoga Nidra.

•As we progress through the navel chakra we will explore Yoga’s connection with power, fire, and introduce Lakshmi practice & the business of Yoga.

•In the heart we encounter the devotional path of Bhakti Yoga, classical Pranayama (breathing) practices, and receive teachings on the heart of Shivakali’s traditional philosophy.

•Moving upwards into the throat chakra students will learn about Kashmir Shaivism and the Sanskrit language, pronunciation, principles of chanting, and a wealth of mantra & deity practices.

•Progressing to the third eye the training becomes increasingly more subtle, as we encounter an array of Yogic meditations, explore Yogic Buddhism, and turn inward in silence.

•Culminating in the crown, trainees will receive kundalini awakening practices, learn Shakti mantra, Yogic ritual, and receive an initiation into the practice.

Each of our 11 weekends will also include a thorough overview in the anatomy/physiology of Yoga-Asana (postures), a comprehensive outlook on teaching methodology, an intensive dissection of major and minor poses, workshops on adjustments/alignment, and plenty of time for practice teaching. There will be performances & classes with incredible live musicians during the training, as well as some very special guest teachers to share their wisdom.

For those looking to deepen their understanding, this will be a dynamic expansion of both knowledge and practice. A sincere exploration of what it means to truly practice YOGA.

“Let yourself be silently drawn, by the strange pull of what you really love.”
