50hr Pranayama YACEP
x5 weekends of live study | Starts 26/27th September
Saturday & Sunday 930am-230pm UK
Across 5 weekends of study, this training will support teachers looking to deepen their relationship with and to prana through an embodied exploration of the practices and teachings that lead us towards its promise.
The course includes study of the rich philosophical backdrop, alongside the practices that help to bring it all alive, with tips and tools for teaching effectively and safely so that you can expand both your personal practice as well as the way that you share.
You will be asked to :
Dedicate time everyday to some self-practice (your practice IS the teacher)
Have x1 peer practice meet up session each month following the weekend study so you can already start refining and exploring your teaching practice.
Be invited to join x1 live Q&A evening session per month (this is totally optional and simply there as additional support to nurture your experience).
Be asked to do case studies during the integration phase (Jan & Dec) where we take time off live weekend study.
Asked to prepare x1 assignment to be taught live in our final weekend that will be taught to one half of the group with Hannah/ Chrissie observing.
