Esoteric Anatomy
& Kundalini Shakti
3 Classes, 9 Hours
This experiential immersion has been designed to educate Yoga Teachers on the esoteric anatomy of Yoga; the Nadis & Chakras, and offers practices from both Hatha Yoga and Classical Tantra which serve to potentialize a felt experience of Prana in the chakras.
This course also focusses heavily on Kundalini Shakti; as the dynamic, sacred power of awakened energy. This course aims to dispel common misconceptions about the awakening of Kundalini and cultivate a warm attitude toward this boon of Yoga practice.
This course is best to be preceded by the Prana & Pranayama Module, as it requires a foundational understanding of Prana, Kriya and Bandha. Additional sessions of asana, pranayama and meditation may be added to this schedule to further explore and embody this content.
In this course, I transmit the philosophy, practices and insight from my own personal journey with Kundalini through Hatha Yoga practice and Tantric initiation in India.

This Esoteric Anatomy & Kundalini Shakti workshop series is best to be combined with the Prana & Pranayama module which outlines Pranic techniques & anatomy essential for understanding the chakras & energetic yoga.
The content of this course is adaptable to fit within the context of your Yoga Teacher Training schedule. This is really just a brief outline of the content I have to share on this topic, and this curriculum may be easily expanded into a much larger training.
