Retreat:

Our retreat is held July 13th to 21st, 2013, at a private waterfront retreat property just over an hour from Ottawa. During this week (90 contact hours + 10 self study hours) you will be immersed in the teachings (1 day in Ottawa and 7 nights, 8 days at the retreat) while enjoying a beautiful serene environment that also includes delicious meals prepared for us, personal time for rest and reflection, swimming, nature walks and campfires.

Our focus on retreat is to deepen our personal practice while expanding our understanding of asanas, posture development, yogic and western anatomy, meditation and yogic philosophy and lifestyle. Our days at the retreat will begin with a daily morning sadhana of meditation (silent &/or with chanting) and yoga practiced on the beach, weather permitting.  Our days continue with a combination of lecture, instructional videos, yoga, meditation, small group practice and group discussion. Our final evening together on retreat includes a fire puja ceremony to honour our personal growth and development and celebrate our time together.

Classroom Weekends:

We follow our retreat by meeting over 3 weekends at the PranaShanti Yoga Centre.  During our classroom weekends we further hone our skills by focusing on teaching practice/coaching with peers, advanced anatomy in motion, continued studies of philosophy, meditation and posture (asana) development, project presentations and a variety of subjects for preparing teachers to enter the yoga teaching world, (90 contact hours + 25 hours self study).
