Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher Updated February 1, 2012
Contact the Office at Yoga Therapy Center to receive the latest
updates. This training is based on an integration of teachings from Patanjali's Classical Yoga text the Yoga Sutras and Mukunda's insights into Ayurvedic Yoga. Much of the material was sourced from teachings given in individual sessions to Dr. Paul Copeland in India during 1971-73 by Krishnamacharya. Paul was presented a unique practice based on Krishnamacharya's fundamental teaching principle of "adapting to the individual". Mukunda learned these practices from 73-75. The method incorporates Classical Hatha, Tantra, and Raja Yogas to form a continuum of training that integrated the five bodies (pancha kosha) model of yogic anatomy. It is both profoundly practical and deeply spiritual. The training will cover all practices of Mukunda's book, Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy and will be co-taught by Mukunda and Chinnamasta. Hence it is advisable for students to read the book and his Yoga Sutras of Patanjali prior to coming. Open to all with yoga and/or ayurveda background, the emphasize is on personalizing the Sadhana from the book, with option for teacher certification. The teaching fee is $1575.
