Chakra Yoga: The Science of Self Mastery - 300&500 Training

Reflecting the traditional teachings of the Yoga Sutras and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Chakra Yoga System has been taught by David since 1997. This is a unique and comprehensive Teacher Training program with a specific focus on the Chakras. The program includes detailed instruction in the regular asana training, with specific instruction on what to teach and how to teach, assist and adjust with safety and confidence, then steps beyond, going into the traditional view of chakras in ancient cultures, and extending into the understanding of energy wheels from the perspective of the quantum fields of modern physics. The physics part is not done in a dry manner, but with interesting videos and discussions, not done only at a theoretical level, but rather experimentally; students are guided down into the vibrational reality of their own molecular biology. Chakra Yoga Training Teacher at the Pyramid Yoga Center Is a transformational experience.

Our course comprises a daily practice of asana, pranayama, mantra, yantra, raja and karma yoga complimented by individual contemplation, systematic methods of concentration, and meditation. Students engage in studies and discussions regarding yogic philosophy, anatomy, physiology and psychology as well as practical teaching methods and professional development.

REJUVENATION

During the third part of the course we go deeply into the physiological functions associated with each chakra, looking at the mind/body connection to find and correct any problems that may potentially be lurking in us. The scientific aspect of our neuro-biology is studied through energetic relations to our body chemistry, with methods to change problems and potential problems in our health.

IN ADDITION...

At Pyramid Yoga Center we recognize and encourage the sharing of knowledge and information between students who come to us from all walks of life. If you have received education or training in something that compliments the existing Teacher Training Program, we will happy accommodate you within the weekly schedule. Added to the documentaries, are movie nights where we watch movies that have relevant stories and messages related to our spiritual evolution. Other evenings we have yoga dances.

Course Structures

8 week, 300hr course or continue on with the 12 week, 500hr course

The first part of the course is shared, consisting of two months study before we accredit the participants with 300 hour certificate (though that only counts as RYT 200 hours with the American Yoga Alliance).

Third month of this course specialises in healing - in particular, rejuvenation techniques for glands and organs which may have become dysfunctional and evolved into disease. During this time students are taken into a deeper experience and understanding of 'energy' and its role in the mind - body connection, as seen in the science of yoga, supplemented with the methods and techniques to influence, enhance and improve the functions of various glands and organs. Applying this in personal practice activates the self-healing forces within us; then methods of reaching out to help others with this healing skill follows.

By the end of the third month, during which time students go deeply into the physiological functions, body chemistry and biology, participants receive a 500 hour certificate and accreditation for RYT500 under the Yoga Alliance USA.
