bone, stone & soma

There is a particular quality of awareness that is available only through deep listening and a commitment to unwavering presence.

The living teachings of non-dual Tantra offer us a roadmap through the terrain of mental constructs, inherited patterning and somatic memory, back to the sediment that rests at the core of our being ~ known by many as the Ground of Being, or the ground of all awareness.

Haṭha yoga is one effective tool we can use to navigate back through this wild landscape of body, mind & heart ~ not to tame them, but to come deeply into relationship with their every swelling hill and gushing river, the combination of which creates your unique expression in the world.

Somatics takes us a layer deeper ~ into the awareness of cells, the memory held in blood, bone, and organ body, and the fluids that hold it all together.

Together these pathways offer us both structural awareness and fluid, embodied gnosis; the ability to shape our mind, body and neural pathways in a direction of our choosing, and yet also the ability to deeply trust, revere and come into connection with the underlying intelligence that informs all of life.

Landscape of Body, & the Language of Soul

Connecting to the landscape of our bodies is the first step towards re-connecting to the land and landscapes we live on. When we understand our bodies as microcosms of the macro ~ smaller pieces of the larger earth body we live and love on ~ the gap between self, collective and environmental care gets smaller and smaller.

That is ultimately what Yoga & non-dual teachings are all about - cultivating a mindset and mode of perception which views ourselves as part of an interconnected whole - a forest of symbiotic beings, inevitably interconnected and yet each with individual gifts to express.

Uncovering the Inner Architecture

This yoga teacher training is first and foremost designed to offer you an embodied understanding of the architecture of your inner landscape, belief systems and patterns of expression; from Dense to Subtle body.

It’s a deep dive into the particular unique coding and patterning of cells and consciousness that have come together to express as You; a way of coming into relationship with all of life and the land around us, to embody more of what you are and have always been.

Pathways

From a practical perspective, the training will focus on offering you an experiential and embodied understanding of the teachings of classical hatha yoga, and traditional non-dual tantric philosophy.

These two paths can often seem contrasting - and yet when we look at both through a somatic lens, we understand that everything points back to the body; learning to decipher and decode it’s subtle intelligence, allowing ourselves to be guided by it rather than by external sources, whilst using ancient stories as guidelines and roadmaps to re-route outdated structures within & without.
