Sat Sangat Yoga Development Training - Level 2

NEXT LEVEL TWO MODULE:

Harness Your Full Potential: Unlock the Relaxation Response with Yogic Wisdom

Mind body medicine is experiencing a strong revival. Scientists are discovering that the relaxation response, the opposite to the stress response, is responsible for healing or improving many different conditions such heart disease, hypertension, anxiety, depression, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, migraines, and many others. This is something that Yogis have understood for centuries. Yogic techniques are designed to create the calming, cooling, healing effect that scientists are calling the relaxation response.

This Level 2 training expands the yoga teacher, or practitioner to understand the relaxation response and how to use yogic tools correctly to inspire this response in the nervous system. Contemporary beliefs and values can encourage us to use even these ancient practices, designed to heal the body and mind of stresses and overload, in ways that end up increasing stress levels. To cultivate optimal efficiency in the body and mind, we need to be in a state of advanced relaxation for as much of our lives as we can. This is a radical departure from the way we are conditioned to live in modern society. 

This training gives advanced tools for the cultivation of the required inner discipline to achieve this internal state.

Many study groups carry on meeting long after the three months have passed, having created a supportive and nurturing group environment in which spiritual development is held.

Each module works with the five basic questions of the study of yoga:

• What is the composition of the body and how does it function?
• What is prana, what is its relationship with the physical body, and how does it interact with the body?
• Why does prana exist in different forms and what is the reason behind the creation of matter and the other elements?
• What is the soul and how can we experience it?
• How do we attain transcendence and what is it that we need to transcend?

Each Level 2 module considers these questions through a different lens. The seven modules of Level 2 are as follows:

Communication: Shabd and Nada

Tantric Goddess Darshan: The Rise of the Sacred Feminine

Advanced Pranayama and Prana Vidya: Raising Your Prana

Meditation: Theory and Practice
