In this Intensive, you will reflect on and aim to balance your body, mind and heart, and learn to bring this intention into your teaching.  This will be a demanding and transformational training, bringing in all the limbs of Yoga through the lens of Asana practice.

  • Follow each Movement Principle to its fullest, advanced expression along its continuum

  • Sense your own interiorizing balance of effort and return; your balanced needs for both power and rest

  • Consider each Movement Principle in all 3 Planes of Motion

  • Anatomy to support each MP

  • Assess and practice Hands-on-Assists for each MP family

  • Learn essential Somatic Movement and Restoratives for each MP

  • Connect subtle movement adjustments to subtle energy flow

  • Daily Pranayama

  • Meditation

  • Philosophy (reading assignments will be given)

Sama Sadhana will be an Intensive in which you learn primarily through your own daily practice — to advance your own practice and to become a more sensitive and intelligent teacher. There will be also be lectures, demos and lab time. (*Note: Movement Principles are an essential element of SmartFLOW® methodology; the online course will ground you in these concepts.)
