Embodying the Flow Teacher Training Retreat with guest teacher Twee Merrigan
3-8 November 2009
Vinyasa or “flow” yoga is one of the emerging forms of yoga in the West arising from the tree of Krisnamacharya’s lineage of Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga. This teacher’s intensive will focus on: both the theory and practice of vinyasa yoga, encompassing both its traditional roots and contemporary innovations. We will cover underlying principles of practice and alignment, the integration of pranayama, bandhas and asana, creative sequencing and adjustments, the cultivation of meditation, and tools for embodying the flow in practice, teaching and in daily life.
This teacher’s intensive has a three-tiered purpose to:
- Provide tools for teaching vinyasa yoga or to enhance the flow of the classes you teach
- Deepen one’s personal practice as a laboratory for exploring the creative potential of vinyasa
- Focus on how to embody the flow in daily life with the rhythms of teaching

Pranic Alignment and Hands-on Enhancements Teacher Training Retreat with guest teacher Twee Merrigan
9-12 November 2009
This intensive explores the flow of prana (as the primary life force) within each yoga asana and the vinyasa krama (stages) of their evolution to adapt to different levels, needs, and functions of your students and within your own yoga practice. We will learn the underlying energetic alignment of yoga postures based upon an integrated understanding of the movements of prana vayus (winds or movements of energy), the relationship of opposites energies in the body, and how to open and strengthen the core structures of embodiment from head-to-toe, from outer physical to inner subtle body.
As teachers we often assist students into postures by adjusting them from them into the posture…the (most of the energy is coming from the outside). With hands-on enhancements, the energy comes from within…the student is empowered by your guidance to where prana is excessive or deficient and from that knowing they can enhance their own posture with the guidance from their inner teacher. This skill creates a truthful experience for the student because they move from their core...their understanding of your teachings influenced and guided by prana, the life force.
