WhAt is EIGHT LIMBS TEACHER TRAINInG?
The "Eight Limbs: A 50-Hour Teacher Training" is a transformative journey designed to immerse you in the rich philosophy and practice of yoga. This intensive program delves deep into the eightfold path outlined by Patanjali, guiding participants through each limb with thorough exploration and practice.
Starting with the Yamas and Niyamas, the foundational ethical principles that shape our interactions with ourselves and the world, the training emphasizes the importance of living with integrity and self-discipline. Moving into the physical practice, Asanas are studied in depth, with a focus on alignment, adjustments, and the therapeutic benefits of each posture.
Pranayama, the art of breath control, is explored not only as a practice but as a tool for life, helping participants harness the power of the breath to calm the mind and energize the body. The training then transitions to Pratyahara, the practice of sense withdrawal, teaching techniques to turn inward and develop a deeper sense of inner awareness.
Dharana and Dhyana, concentration and meditation, are introduced with practical methods to cultivate a focused and serene mind. Finally, the training touches on Samadhi, the ultimate goal of yoga, offering insights into achieving a state of oneness and profound inner peace.
Throughout the program, participants engage in interactive workshops, guided practices, group discussions, and individual assignments, fostering a supportive and dynamic learning environment.
