Cari amici,

Ho preso la decisione di dare una svolta al mio percorso di studi nell'ambito della meditazione e dello yoga, partecipando, a settembre, ad un teacher training course di 200 ore a Rishikesh (india), la capitale mondiale dello yoga. Il corso si terrà presso la Nada Yoga School, di cui potete leggere qui https://www.nadyoga.org/ .
Il mio scopo è quello di dedicare un mese ad un approfondimento verticale delle tecniche di meditazione e yoga, nonché di dare al mio percorso una svolta di professionalizzazione, in quanto al termine del corso - al superamento dell'esame finale - viene rilasciata una certificazione internazionale, Yoga Alliance, che abilita all'insegnamento. Tutti gli approfondimenti sul corso che seguirò li trovate qui https://www.nadyoga.org/yoga-m...

Voi sostenitori sarete i primi a cui avrò piacere di trasmettere ciò che apprenderò, dispensandovi le mie prime lezioni, ovviamente gratuite. Dunque pensatelo come un anticipo sulle vostre future lezioni!
Per chi fosse interessato, ogni 20 euro di donazione vi darà infatti diritto ad una lezione di yoga gratuita al mio ritorno. Per chi lo yoga anche no, mi farà comunque piacere condividere l'esperienza fatta, rendervi partecipi di ciò che avrò appreso o semplicemente raccontarvi l'aria che tira da quelle parti. Per chi non è interessato per niente ai temi ma mi vuole un po' bene, invece che farmi un regalo di compleanno buttate 10 euro quassopra: giuro che non tornerò in versione Marta new age, non camminerò in sandali d'inverno, non tenterò di sturarvi il terzo occhio con olii puzzolenti e non vi procurerò picchi glicemici dispensando pipponi sull'amore universale.

Di seguito un approfondimento sui contenuti del corso.

Nada Yoga School and Naturality offer a comprehensive and unique 200 hour Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training Program in the holy city of Rishikesh on the banks of the sacred river Ganga, surrounded by the foothills of the Himalayas.  This program will provide training in both the art and science of Yoga and Meditation.

Yoga and Meditation combined with pranayama form a complete spiritual practice, a path to healing, peace and freedom from fear and sufferings. In Patanjali’s Yoga, meditation is the seventh limb which leads to Samadhi. In Vedanta and Buddhism, meditation also forms an important component of the path. Serious students of Yoga require a solid grounding in both the theory and practice of yoga poses, pranayama and meditation.

Whether you are already a practitioner of yoga and meditation or if you are still a beginner, this program will deepen your own practice, and will also enable you to teach a combination of yoga and meditation to individuals and groups.

And that’s not all.

You will also be given lessons and lectures on Naturality by Jivasu and nada yoga & Indian classical music lessons from our best team of professional Indian musicians. And of course, after the completion of the course, you will be provided with the yoga alliance certificate of 200-hours which will grant you the permission to teach yoga internationally.

Whatwill you learn?

In this 200-hour yoga and meditation teacher training course we will be focusing on both theory and practical, so that you are perfect in the practice of yoga and would become a professional yoga teacher both theoretically and practically.

Theory:

In this section of yoga you will be taught:

1. Yoga Philosophy: Patanjali’s Yoga philosophy is a unique and comprehensive description of life and consciousness. Patanjani begins by describing the central problem of human life, the Kleshas or negative afflictions giving rise to fear and sorrow. These emotions arise because of a distortion in consciousness (chitta viritti), in which Atma is separated from pure consciousness. Through the practice of the eight limbs of Asthanga Yoga, a person can achieve peace and equanimity (chitta vritti nirodh) leading to the union of Atma with the pure consciousness of Paramatma.Through self-study, talks and dialogue, students will understand why we suffer from fear, sorrow and pain. Then, students will explore the practices of Yama, Niyama, Asanas, Pranayama, Pratyahar (inward flow of consciousness) Dharana (contemplation), and a variety of meditations (Dhyan). The meaning and significance of the Chakras and Kundalini will be explored.
2. Meditation: Meditation is the seventh limb in Asthanga Yoga. By studying and practicing meditation, a person begins to develop a sustained witnessing awareness of all that enters the field of perception. This awareness leads to Samadhi, the ultimate goal of a Yogi.
3. Shatkarma: Shatkarma is a practice or an art of cleaning or detoxifying our body and mind naturally. In the theory section, you will be taught – what are the different types of shatkarmas, their benefits, precautions, etc.
