These are yogic cleansing techniques to prepare the body for the higher practice of yoga like asana, pranayama and meditation. They harmonize ida and pingala, the two main nadis. This helps us to purify and balance our annamayakosha (physical body), pranayamaya kosha (energy body) and manomaya kosha (mind body).

Different hatha yoga scriptures explain six type of shatkarma – ‘shat’ means ‘six’ and ‘karma’ means ‘action’. In this course we discuss the six shatkarma according to Gheranda Samhita and practice some of the following:

~ Jal Neti
~ Agni Sara Dhauti
~ Kapalbhati
~ Trataka

You'll explore various breathing and pranayama techniques, understanding both their theoretical aspects and practical applications. Each day offers an opportunity to engage with these methods, observing their physical, mental, and energetic impacts.

Meditation is a skillful training for creating a state of consciousness through different techniques of concentration. It serves a variety of functions, including stress alleviation, relaxation, increased self-awareness, and spiritual development.

For the meditation practice you should sit in a peaceful environment and focus on an external or internal object allowing your senses ti withdraw from the outer world.

Asanas developed to be one of the most important aspects of yoga in the modern decades. We teach different styles of yoga in our 200 h Yoga training in Vancouver and try to find a bridge between the old yogic traditions and more modern styles. Some of our asana practice styles include traditional hatha yoga, hatha flow, vinyasa flow, and ashtanga vinyasa. 

Hatha Yoga is the mother of all the physical based Yoga styles. Thus we focus on the two main scriptures of Hatha Yoga - The Gheranda Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

To get a better understanding of the concept of Yoga philosophy you will learn more about the Hatha yoga scriptures, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, three gunas and their attributes, basic Ayurveda and how to integrate it into your Yoga practice, theory of chakras and much more.

Every asana has particular effects on our body. To achieve these benefits and the free flow of pranaya, the bodies alignment is important. You will learn the alignment of the asanas and their adjustment, as well as how to align your students and how adjust according to their body’s needs.

To understand the physical, mental effects and energetic effects of asana, breathing techniques and meditation it helps to have an understanding of the human body, its structure and physiology.

In our teaching methodology sesions you will learn the difference betwenn the Yoga styles and everything needed to know about designing, planning and conducting a Yoga class. 

Apart from that we also include Yoga ethics and cultural appropriation. 

The meaning of Mantra roots in ‘mana’ meaning ‘mind’ and ‘tra’ meaning ‘to save, to protect’. Thus, the literal meaning of mantra is “ protection of mind”. It provides a protective layer around your mind.

Mantras are thought to have the power to reach deep into the unconscious mind. They are phrases in the Sanskrit language that are continuously chanted to alter the vibration of every aspect of your being.

Mantra chanting can reduce stress and is commonly used as a healing and environmental purification technique.

We will chant together every day.
