READY FOR A SPRING CLEANING???
This March we’re excited to offer a special opportunity to refine and deepen your yoga and meditation practice for a true inner cleansing.
Often after the heaviness or darkness of winter, it can feel difficult to muster up the motivation for meaningful and transformational spiritual practice. For teachers and healers, our inspiration and energy can feel dulled.
We’ll come together as Sangha (spiritual family) to be held by the ancient teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine (5 Element Theory) and Vajrayana Buddhism. This unique 20hr Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training will also establish essential foundations for you in Yin & Restorative Yoga. Together we will uplevel our mindfulness practice field, out teaching life and offerings, and our dedication to evolution.
Suitable for beginners. A background of interest in Yoga and/or Meditation is assumed.
Join internationally celebrated Yin & Dharma teacher Kali Basmanon the journey back to the Self.
WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID:
“Kali is a teacher you only come across once in a lifetime. ”
The most impactful work I’ve ever done in my life”
“I feel that my work with Kali is my most powerful journey so far. I am really beginning to see myself and loving her.”
“This training has allowed me to actually consider myself a yoga teacher. Letting go of the imposter syndrome and envisioning the unique practice I can cultivate. I have found my authentic self as a yoga teacher.
“Kali expertly shares her wisdom and working with her has had a powerful impact on my life. The combination of Yin, Buddhism, and Internal Family Systems teachings have helped me restore wholeness and self compassion. A traumatized part of me was frozen and unreachable for over 30 years. Kali helped me gently and lovingly get to know and unfreeze this part of myself. This has helped me reach a new sense of freedom. Kali sees my Buddha nature and walks on my path with me to safely express and explore deeply personal questions. From this work I feel I have reached a new level of peace in my heart.”
COURSE FOCI:

-Traditional Chinese Medicine 5 Element Theory
Dharma talks, restorative & yin practices, inquiry exercises and mindfulness methods will be employed daily.
THEMATICS:
Physiological, Energetic, Psychological & Interpersonal Pillars of Practice
This course leans heavily on the contemplative and reflective sides of yoga (Yin), in which we hone the internal methods of cultivating the bodymind and our subtle energy kinetics for anatomical, structural, and emotional wholeness.
On a physiological level, Yin yoga lengthens and lubricate the connective tissues and promotes optimal functioning of the vital organs.
On an energetic level, Yin allows us to harness the chi body and distribute its resources.
Psychologically, however, we’ll need a wisdom practice like Buddhist Meditation to instill stable tranquility and engender insight into our true nature.
Interpersonally, we’ll bring in expansive heart methods such as Tonglen, Metta & Compassion practices, and authentic relating in partner practices and diads.
These pillars become the foundation of our spiritual and social wellbeing, and determine our growth potential in this lifetime.
“Kali’s teachings have awakened the energy that had been buried unknown to me for so many years of my life and the fire within has been ignited to give and to offer to others.”
