"The yoga with Reema helped move stuck emotional attachments. It's amazing how breathing a certain way, using imagery, and flowing in a specific sequence breaks up and releases the emotions. Manny and Rose emanate such a beautiful, peaceful, gentle, humble spirit. I've never encountered anyone like them. The deep sounds from the drums, the songs, rattle shaking, stomping my feet into the earth, and moving around the fire in a circle was freeing."
This is a Yoga Alliance registered 300-hour teacher training.
Practice, learn and be able to teach specific yoga sequences to move through kleshas, the Sanskrit word for “mind poisons.” Major kleshas include anger, attachment, anxiety, depression, loneliness and jealousy. In this groundbreaking and wildly successful teacher training written by Reema Datta, the sequences you learn include movement, meditation, breath-work, mantra and wisdom teachings. Drawing from the universal, shamanic, non-dogmatic teachings of classical yoga, the sequences are designed to open space within each practitioner to have a direct and personal experience of peace, truth and liberation.
