Hello Yogis,

 

Christmas is coming but Halloween comes before then and we already have treats for you!

 

The first is a relaxing music video that you can use in yoga class copyright free. Here is the link https://youtu.be/BfCL5gDeGFw

 

The second treat is a printable of the primary series of Ashtanga. In recent trainings we have added kundalini and ashtanga to the mix of hatha-vinyasa. We are now more multi-dimensional in our teaching. I think in this way, our graduates will be more able to serve different types of students with different styles they can adapt. In reality, the way we practice yoga these days is a mixture of a lot of styles. I now recommend to teachers to use more user-friendly descriptions for their classes rather than sticking to rigid categorization of styles. Just be descriptive and help your students understand what they can expect from your class.

 

The first wave of changes to the curriculum was sparked by Yoga Alliance's upgrading of the RYS200 standards pre-pandemic. We were one of the first schools to comply with the upgraded standards. It resulted in our yoga teacher training curriculum being more robust in terms of anatomy and physiology, biomechanics and understanding the body. But it also took a lot of the spirituality and personal development away. We are trying to get back to that now.

 

I have already reached quite a high level in VortexHealing®, as some of you know, with ongoing trainings since 2018. I have been using the tools in VortexHealing® more and more in the teacher trainings during yoga nidra for healing and in meditation to get the students deeper. In March and October next year I will be in London for more VortexHealing® training.

 

In 2024 when we move to Chateau de Montcuquet, we are also planning to include Art Therapy as part of personal development during teacher trainings.

Next on the news, we finally decided to take our yoga school, Awake Space, back abroad after 7 years of offering yoga teacher training courses first in Scotland and now in France. We had an opportunity in the summer months to research various options and retreat centres and decided to go on an adventure to

Sri Lanka.

There is another free VortexHealing clinic coming up tomorrow. This repeats every 3rd Sunday of the month. It is led by the most advanced students of the lineage. I will be there too as a participant. The energy of these healings is very strong because you have multiple healers supporting the project.

 

During this month's VortexHealers Community Clinic we will spend most of the session with the very simple focus of channeling divine awakening energy into the core of each participant's being, to awaken "whatever is most stuck".

 

Sunday 20h Europe
