Alchemize Your Asana:
Harness Your Power to Heal
*this course is now available to rent on Momence. If you are seeking certification, see below.
The foundation of an alchemical yoga practice is skillful use of Prana. In this immersion, we will take our sadhana to a whole new level where Yoga is management of the energetic body (Pranamaya Kosha). Sequencing (Vinyasa Krama) through the lens of prana has the power to clear and heal every layer of your being - physically, mentally, and vibrationally. This increased level of clarity will allow you to bring your highest Self more fully into every aspect of your life, both on and off the mat. More advanced pranayama, meditation, yoga nidra and healing techniques will be introduced, with an emphasis on the experiential aspects.
Bonus! Classes are recorded and available for review for the duration of the training.
