*A Yoga Alliance Continuing Ed Approved Program - 30 CEUs


The practice of yoga is not a goal, it is a path. 

A means for you to develop and reach your highest mental and spiritual self.

PRACTIONERS:
Do you feel yoga has helped you in your day to day life, but want to understand the philosophical teachings beyond the surface?
Are you ready to explore your yoga practice beyond the physical exercise of poses?
Do you want to understand how to apply your yoga practice in more applicable ways off the mat?
Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and explore your tendencies and habits that no longer serve you?
Are you ready to break free of ideas and thoughts that hold you back from being your best self and begin to create a new reality for yourself?Are you ready to find a practice that is bigger than your pose?


TEACHERS:
Are you a yoga teacher who struggles with integrating philosophical concepts into your classes? Or would like to find ways to present yoga philosophy in a more relatable way?

The philosophical component of yoga transforms it from a mere exercise routine into a comprehensive lifestyle. As a teacher, when you weave the philosophical component into your yoga classes, you are laying a foundation for your students to cultivate a lifelong commitment to the ancient discipline.

Join Lyn for a 10-part exploration of the guiding principles of yoga. Through practice, meditation, and self-reflection you will transform your practice (and teaching) - both on your mat and off. 

Each unit will focus on a specific Yama or Niyama and includes a short audio tutorial, prerecorded asana practices, journal prompts, and a guided meditation. As well as, a section dedicated just for yoga teachers.

ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM NEVER EXPIRES!

DOWNLOADABLE/PRINITABLE MANUAL INCLUDED!

What to expect:

The intent for this 10-part exploration is to spend time reflecting on each principle introduced and develop an understanding of how to practice and apply them during asana practice and in life. Though it is broken into monthly units of study, you can choose to move through them at any pace you prefer.

The 3 components to support your exploration:

Inquiry - 

The practice of yoga encourages a dedication to self-study as a pathway to self-knowledge. 

You will be introduced to the monthly focus with a brief audio recording. 

Lyn will give you an overview of the yogic principle you will be exploring in order for you to gain a complete understanding, along with ways to integrate them into your day-to-day life. You will be encouraged to spend time reflecting and journaling on the principle throughout the month. Though, journaling is always optional.

Journal prompts are included to get you kickstarted with that months self-inquiry and exploration.

Asana - 

Each month will include a recorded 60 to 75-minute studio class practice designed around the focus of the current month. These recordings are appropriate for all levels of practice.

Along with your video practice, tips on how to apply the month’s specific philosophical theme while practicing on your mat are included.

Each month includes three extra bonus prerecorded practices. There are a total of 41 practices.

Meditation - 

A short guided meditation is included each month.

Meditation is also a pathway to self-knowledge. Through the process of learning to quiet distracting thoughts you can begin to filter out misconceptions and misinformation clouding your reality. The ability to focus the mind can help with improving the quality of your life by learning to manage anxiety and stress.
