YOGA MEDITATION (DHARANA & DHYANA) TEACHER TRAINING

Course Description

Yoga is inherently a wellness practice. In yoga, we find that by practicing the right yoga for each different phase of an individual's life we can maintain a healthy body and mind. These classes in Wellness were designed to create a deeper knowledge of everyday yoga practices you can use to connect with your clients through normally occurring different stages of life that they may be dealing with.

 

In this course we will discover the seat of Yogic Meditation. 

We will look at posture and support, pranayama and techniques for stilling the mind. I come from a background counseling teaching stress and anxiety reducing techniques including teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Vipassana meditation (translation mindful). 

We will look at how you can incorporate the skills to prepare for sitting and developing concentration into your daily yoga classes and then offer a special Meditation class.  

We will discuss the background  of meditation in Hinduism and Buddhism, the univerality of meditation, and the modern science of the benefits of a regular meditation practice.

We will look at Meditation in yogic literature including The Yoga Sutras and the Gheranda -Samhita History - Hinduism, Buddhism, and Yogic literature, East - West language and philosophy.  Developing self-practice and experiential practice delivering classroom tools, didactic inquiries and practice experience.
