Location
Our retreats in Algarve, Portugal take place in Vale da Lama
We have chosen to work in a natural organic environment.
Vale da Lama is an Eco retreat center where nature and her needs have taken main stage, all integrated in a tasteful beautiful environment where all the food served is organic vegetarian.
Both content and delivery of our teachings, will be contextualized through a sober analysis of the profession of yoga teaching itself, its lights and shadows, challenges and highlights, which means that the element of relationship to the other will be ever present during this course, especially during the second module.
Module 1:
This module will focus on developing depth and sensitivity in your own meditation and asana practice.
*If you want to do the full 200 hrs. Yoga alliance diploma training, meaning both module 1 and 2 we offer a 15% discount for the two modules combined.
Body
Within the realm of asana we will study both Yin and Yang, both movement and stillness. Longer held Yang poses will be used to sculpt the outer support of muscle and stability and the gravity bound counterpart of Yin/restorative practices to gain access to the deeper-seated corners where we habitually store tension, learn how to let go of it and balance our energy. We’ll cover a variety of posture and of ways to approach the movement practice, both for the deepening of your experience but also with a clear view on how to teach it to others.
Mind
Meditation is the cornerstone and the essence of a committed yoga practice. With its core elements of focus and awareness it has the potential to unlock and dispel the harsher layers of negativity in our heart and allow us to awaken to a clearer more unbiased view of ourselves and the world.
Heart
The heart practices reveal the innate strength we can find in openness and compassion. Solitary meditation techniques and interpersonal disciplines will be used during the course in order to develop a sense of empathy and compassion towards others and within ourselves. With Dhamma talks and discussions we’ll address the big questions, investigate the psychological and philosophical impact of both yoga and teaching yoga in our life. We’ll look at the roots of tradition, translate and apply them to our 21st century existence.
