YOGA FOR BACKCARE, NAT10887002
Managing the back in crises
Yoga for preventing and easing back pain
Healthy back care facilitator training

This is a unique, holistic, comprehensive, and integrated approach to managing and preventing back pain, which is the third most common reason for visits to the medical clinic, one of the most common reasons for missing work, and the single leading cause of disability. Yoga has been shown in numerous studies to be an effective practice for preventing and relieving back pain.

ASANA - THE DEEPER PRACTICE

SHANTI YOGA SIGNATURE SERIES. NAT10887003

I love the Shanti Yoga method that I have curated and developed over the last 50 years, because of its effectiveness. It is safe, accessible, and has been of so much help and benefit to countless people that have engaged in its practice. Shanti Yoga Mindful Movement teachers deconstruct an asana-only-practice, and join the sacred space where you give yourself permission to take care of yourself first and foremost, replace negative self-talk with love, be yourself, express what is, the truth through your body (not just your image - your body does not lie!), and do the inner work of making peace with your body. The practice aims to produce a balancing effect on the nervous system of parasympathetic dominance. This state encourages the ‘rest, relaxation, rejuvenation and regeneration response’. When your practice feels good to do while you are doing it, and gives you energy while allowing you to be happy and relaxed at the same time, then you are more likely to practice regularly. You are also more likely to feel that sharing this beneficial and healing energy and loving information is worth spreading in your life to those around you.

PRANAYAMA - THE NEXT LEVEL, NAT10887004
Yoga teachers talk about the breath incessantly, and yet most students struggle to practice correctly in class, and almost no students are using yogic breathing outside of class - do you? Breathing is a powerful tool that allows the individual to take conscious control over their autonomic nervous system. This course includes 25+ pranayama practices to help you as a teacher and student understand how to use breath more effectively. You will learn:
Basics of yoga breathing in various types of yoga classes (it’s not all the same)
How to start teaching breath in the supine position
Fundamentals of up and down regulating as well as balancing breath
Breathing practices pertinent to cleansing, activity type, time of day, and so on

YOGA NIDRA FACILITATOR TRAINING, NAT10887005
The art of slowing down to create more meaning, purpose, fulfillment

In this course, you will learn about the four states of consciousness in Yoga, described as dreaming, sleeping, waking, and turiya, the stage beyond, which is equivalent to the highest stages of meditation or yoga nidra. You will also learn key yoga teachings about sleeping and dreaming, and the role these plays in our lives and health. At the most fundamental level, Yoga nidra, relaxes and heals. It’s mindfulness based stress reduction. At its most profound, you will be awakened to the fourth dimension, the transcended state of consciousness. When administered skillfully, Yoga Nidra can serve as a tool to change unhelpful mental patterns, wrong self-perception and even heal many of the effects of trauma.

Yoga for Special Needs, NAT10887007
Growing old is a privilege. Yet the struggle to stay mobile and active after a certain age, which is very necessary to prevent disease and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, is very real for many people. The ageing population and those who suffer from premature ageing are at far higher risk of suffering from chronic diseases and the pain that goes with them, as well as from viruses due to compromised immunity.

Yoga can (and should) be adapted to a human being’s personal needs that change as they age. It is essential that we move beyond postural-based, fitness-driven practice and nurture safety, balance, strength, and mobility.

Shanti Yoga reveals the secrets of longevity and happiness: how to eat, how to move, how to work, how to rest, how to foster collaboration and community, and how to find your purpose and bring satisfaction to your life. It provides an in-depth look at how we can take greater control over the living processes, from the cradle to the grave, using yoga as an approach to whole mind-body wellness, to help you discover how to grow old while being forever young.

MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTION
Instruct yoga, mindfulness, and Ayurveda for mental health and suicide prevention. NAT10887008

MINDFUL ABUNDANCE
Instruct the yogic principles for health, wealth, and wisdom, NAT10887009

An abundant life is one in which we have the consistent ability to create, explore, and experience a full life, ‘rich’ with meaning. Most of our issues come from a fear and scarcity mindset. This mindset is rooted in a low sense of self-worth, which further reinforces it. The more you heal, empower and create yourself, the more expansive you become. The more you expand, the more you find new opportunities and connections or relationships together with ideas that will radically increase your well-th (health is your first wealth) and overall feelings of abundance.

Reality is not set in stone. It adapts and changes conforming to the stories you believe about it. A low sense of self-worth accompanied by limiting beliefs will lead you to make choices that disempower you, as well as attracting stories that are not aligned with your true, creative, self-loving, and abundant nature. Let’s change the self-destructive story.
