Who This Training Is For:
Open to practitioners of all ages who want to deepen their practice. Learn to work intelligently with your unique anatomy and experience therapeutic alignment for pain-free asana.
For those who teach, this training will strengthen your personal practice and, in turn, give you tools to elevate your classes with safe, sustainable, healthy alignment.
This is a practitioner training—an opportunity to dedicate yourself to your own practice and study. It is not a teacher training; there is no focus on teaching methodology.
Prerequisites:
You have practiced yoga regularly for a minimum of 2 years (not a beginner). You are not required to have an advanced practice. Come as you are and work from there.
Familiar with basic asanas, you are open to learning how to approach more complex asanas such as Handstand and Urdva Danurasana via good preparation, variations, and modifications.
Practitioners with injuries and limitations are welcome – contact Barbra directly if you have questions.
What You Will Experience:
1. Anusarsa Yoga: Alignment for a pain-free, therapeutic asana practice
The Anusara method works with alignment principles based on biomechanics - the intelligence of how the body moves. You will learn specific actions via The Universal Principles of Alignment and a system of Loops, helpful for refining individual anatomical needs.
2. Yoga Philiosophy: Practical yogic concepts and a Tantric worldview for daily life
This training offers an opportunity to learn and reflect on key yogic concepts and how to apply them to life. The philosophical roots of Anusara Yoga lie in non-dual Tantra, a life-affirming worldview that supports fully engaging with life to find value in every experience.
3. Kula, Community: Bringing yogic qualities into relationships
Relationships are the practice ground for harmony and connection. This training includes partner work and guided exercises to help clarify your values. Anusara honours individuality and community —unity in diversity.
