Nurturing your nature with Yoga, Mantra & Meditation
Back to the Heart
50hr Bhakti and Traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga Online Teacher Training
For yoga teachers, practitioners, or those who wish to deepen their practice
​
What is your deepest, driving desire?
*
What is the unique song that your soul came here to sing?
Bhakti - The Way of Devotion
Originally, yoga was not intended to make us more flexible.
The more familiar we become with the external, outer shapes of the practice, the more we realise that the true heart of Yoga actually lives in the ways in which we relate to, experience and move towards realising the deepest desires of our hearts.
​
Although the body is an important starting point, traditional teachings speak much more about empowerment, sensitivity, and alignment with nature than they do about touching our toes. When fully realised, this sensitivity that we cultivate through regular practice naturally orients itself back in the direction of the heart, and we can begin to return again and again, directly to the space of devotion from whence we came.
​
Practice then becomes this delicate and yet deliberate process of unravelling - releasing the grip of anything which doesn't serve or support this devotion.

​
Join me for this 5-month, immersive online training to deepen your connection and return BACK TO THE HEART of what it means to live and practice Yoga.
​
Come home to the wisdom that lives within your heart through the essence of
Bhakti (devotion), and Sanskrit Mantra.
​
Explore the depth of wisdom that is still alive today in the lineage of Sri Vidya Tantra
​
But ultimately, above everything else.....
​
Come home to yourself.

"Your heart sees by it's own light.
In meditation, adore the subtle fire,
The light that you see by,
Is the light that comes from inside"
- Lorin Roche, The Radiance Sutras
Traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga
The teachings of traditional Tantra draw from the wisdom of the Vedas, and are based around the idea that within each and every human being, there lives a unique spark of potential, just waiting to be ignited.
​
Drawing on Prana, the innate impulse towards life contained in all living things, the systematic approach of combining very specific pranically-oriented movements (asana), pranayama (breath techniques) and meditation creates a solid baseline, from which our self-awareness and empowerment can begin to blossom.
​
Returning Prana to it's most balanced, even state within our physical, mental, emotional and energetic systems has the overall effect of creating lasting states of ease, peace and equanimity.
​
It's from these states that we can begin to consciously, gently and with awareness, use the fire within to build and create the life we came here to live.
Bhakti Yoga
Bhakti Yoga is a movement within the yoga tradition, where devotion and the inner longings of the heart are placed at the forefront of all our efforts and practices.
​
Kirtan (group chanting) is one form of Bhakti Yoga, but Bhakti in and of itself is an entire way of being. It's a way of living where reverance for the infinite part of ourselves and all of life is woven into every aspect of living - not just reserved for yoga mats and sacred spaces.
​
Through the lens of Bhakti, the whole world becomes a sacred space. We can begin to cultivate an awareness of the tremendously beautiful, subtle parts of life which are actually disarmingly simple in their essence, once we can get past the noise.
​
If you've ever felt the call to bring back reverence into your life, to reconnect with a sense of divinity that isn't tied to any one belief system or dogma, and to reframe what the word 'devotion' means to you, Bhakti is one way to do this.
​
Ultimately, Bhakti helps us realise and embrace the longing to connect to a sense of oneness, to unconditionality, heart and compassion, and overall - to love.

The Training
This training is designed with the idea of helping you not only understand and dive deeper into the philosophy and energetics behind yoga, but also to help you develop a solid personal practice, from which your teaching and life in general can begin to evolve.
​
Developing this deeper connection to practice results in a deeper connection to Self, and vice-versa, so this will simultaneously be a yoga training and a journey into self-exploration, back to the heart of why we practice - to experience a deep heartfelt connection to all of life.
​
I'm a firm believer that personal practice and clear communication skills are at the core of all great teaching, and through our exploration of the language of teaching, Bhakti, Sanskrit, and chanting, you will get the chance to improve your skills in these areas too.
Over 5 months, we'll meet in a monthly online container to dive deep into different aspects of both Traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga, and Bhakti. These live sessions will be combined with pre-recorded content, guest speakers, and 2 x private 1:1 sessions over the duration of the training.
