Investment in knowledge pays the best interest- Benjamin Franklin | Dubai 2017 Yoga Teacher Trainings

If you want to get a good return on yourself, your time, your effort and your money, invest in yourself, specifically, in your knowledge, to help spread it as far and wide as possible.

Knowledge plays a pivotal part in everything we do from building and living your passion, bringing in a healthier income, making better decisions, reawakening your creative spirit, performing better at sports – and so much more.

Benjamin Franklin said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” He knew the value of constantly becoming more knowledgeable.

Jim Rohn, the great self development speaker, said, “Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.” He says schooling is only a small part of your lifetime education.

Albert Einstein, the genius, said, “Once you stop learning, you start dying.”

All of these quotes come from extremely successful and wise individuals. You have to keep improving yourself on a daily basis. You have to constantly keep building your knowledge and sharpening your skills. – Self Made Success

Heading into our 7th year at Yogalates Bliss in Dubai and into 2017, we are thrilled to have tied up, with a line up, of inspiring senior yoga guest teachers ready to embark and help you take your teaching skills to a higher level and expand your knowledge in yoga practice and teachings through their specialized topics held at the beautiful, sunny space of Voyoga studio in TECOM, Dubai.

300HR VINYASA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING WITH BANYAN GALLAGHER, OCTOBER 2017 | DUBAI, UAE

DUBAI LEVEL 2 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING | October 2017

Advance in your yoga studies with global presenter Banyan Gallagher in Dubai and begin to expand your repertoire while increasing your efficacy in offering yoga as a vehicle for positive and personal transformation. 

Every student who has scratched at the yoga tradition knows that one can never learn everything there is to know in this beautiful synthesis of movement, philosophy, bliss, and breath. There simply isn’t enough time. In fact, even if one were to devote a lifetime of study to just one aspect of yoga—pranayama, for example—she might find herself still wondering what she neglected to learn.

And so we leave our 200-hour trainings inspired but adrift. What now? “Practice, and all is coming,” said Patthabi Jois. But which practice? Which postures, which breathwork, which mantra, which meditation? Which is best for me, and which is best for my students?

In this Advanced Level 2 / 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Banyan Gallagher, we will dive deeper into every limb of yoga than ever before. The style of yoga will focus on the creativity of Vinyasa flow,the precision of Iyengar, and the energetic focus of Tantra. Some practices will be restorative in nature; some will challenge the very limits of your strength.

We will first immerse ourselves inward, into the Art of Skillful Practice. Not every practitioner is a teacher, but every teacher is first and foremost a student. We will practice every level of asana, breath work, mantra, energy locks, and meditation. For this inward journey we will voyage into self-observation, of our strengths, weaknesses, biases, and overall awesomeness.

But, if you want “to master something,” said Yogi Bhajan,“teach it.”

The second major component of this Advanced Training will be the Art of Enlightened Teaching, in which we will hone the skills of passing the gift of yoga to others. A central theme of Enlightened Teaching is observation: recognising the unique aspects of the being in front of you. This course endeavours to embody the message of Krishnamacharya: Yoga is not a one-size-fits-all form. Every moment we practice or teach is an opportunity to listen more closely to others and to ourselves.

Part I – The Art of Skillful Practice

Also known as the Power of Play, this module is designed to shift the focus away from the skills of teaching and return our focus towards that which is most important: our own practice. While not every practitioner is a teacher, every teacher must be first and foremost a practitioner and student. The Art of Skillful Practice is inherently a journey inward, in which we examine ourselves: our strengths, weaknesses, biases and overall awesomeness.

A great challenge for making a self-practice effective is simply making it regular; ensuring that the ritual of self-care and self-love is as natural as taking a meal. Therefore this training will address the largest obstacles to regularity, and how we can make our practice not just beneficial, but also creative enough to keep us entertained.

Banyan’s background in circus and performance come through in all trainings, but especially this one. Expect a hearty dose of laughter, improvisational exercises, and AcroYoga to bring a splash of joy, pleasure, and unexpected depth into your self-practice.

Part II  – The Art of Enlightened Teaching

At the center of every altar lies a flame. No matter whether you’re in a church, mosque, or temple, the candle stands, wavering but patient, illuminating the space around it with its warmth of prayer.

Why is it that some yoga classes fill us with inspiration, and others are just ok? Why do we leave certain classes feeling exhausted, and others exhilarated? How can we maximize our impact on our students in the small amount of time we are together?

In this part we will focus on that which enlightens us and those around us: the flame. Known by many names: Agni, Kundalini, Shakti. Living fire is what enlightens us and wakes us up. The basics here are simple: if we understand how the fire works, we hope to use it to illuminate the lives of others: our students, our partners, and our family members.

A central theme of the Art of Enlightened Teaching is observation: recognizing the unique aspects of the being in front of you. This module endeavors to embody Krishnamacharya’s message: bring yoga to the student, rather than pushing the student towards yoga. We will resist the urge to oversimplify and practice a one-size-fits-all form, and instead see every moment we practice or teach as an opportunity to listen more closely to others and ourselves.

Skillful Teaching, A Balanced Act ~ 100 hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Dubai
With Nico Luce and Clara Roberts
September 16-28, 2016

Rate:
7,000 Early Bird Rate [expires on August 1]
7,800 Normal Rate

Clara Roberts-Oss from Brooklyn and Nico Luce from Argentina join forces once again to provide a one of a kind 100hr Advanced Yoga teacher training designed specifically for current yoga teachers and recent graduates of a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training wishing to advance and begin to take their offerings from good to great!

Building upon what you’ve learned so far, Nico and Clara will refine your teaching/practice with feedback on cuing, sequencing and Bhavana (mood). They will encourage you to go deeper into the biomechanics of poses and transitions with the aim of cultivating a well-rounded class including inspirational themes and clear instruction. Known for creating playful sequences that are integrated and well balanced, they combine over 25 years of studies and yoga teaching experience.

Together they bring extensive knowledge in the field of asana through various lineages as well as philosophy, mantra, pranayama, energetic/anatomical techniques and meditation. If you’ve ever been curious about some of the more advanced backbends, inversions and arm balances, you’ll gain the skills to eventually lift off the ground with ease and to find confidence, grace and nourishment in your practice by freeing up your mind, spine, core, hips, and heart.

WHAT WILL BE COVERED:

• Vinyasa Asana Lab: Vinyasa yoga is about combining intelligent sequencing with creative transitions, fluid pacing and precise timing. We will explore all these aspects from different vinyasa lineages including classical Ashtanga, Power Vinyasa, Jivamukti, Anusara, Prana Flow and Forrest Yoga. We will also delve into general class structure; going over vinyasa krama (stages) so every student feels empowered to trust and listen to their bodies, creating a container for students to feel safe to explore emotions that may arise and how to conduct classes that are both fiery and cooling. Restorative poses and chill yin sequences will also be covered.

• Anatomy of the Injured Yogi: As teachers we encounter many students who either come to class with injuries or get injured in class. We will go over common injuries such as neck, rotator cuff, lower back, knees, wrists and ankles. Information will be given on the most common ways these joints are injured, modifications for different needs and ways of helping rehabilitate.

• Philosophical Journey to the East:We will read and discuss two key ancient masterpieces that reshaped spirituality in the eastern world, the Bhagavad Gita and the Tao Te Ching. [We recommend you read Stephen Mitchell’s translations of both texts. They need to be read prior to the training] These wisdom filled texts exemplify two radically different philosophical approaches to the same spiritual quest and are worth examining them today and contemplate their deeper teachings.

• Subtle Body: Daily meditation, mantra and pranayama will be given at the start of each day along with discussion and practical application of these more subtle teachings.

• Mini yoga class + feedback: Each teacher will have the option to lead a 30 min class based on the material covered in the program and will receive feedback (if they wish) from both Clara and Nico.

Nico Luce has been practicing and teaching yoga for over a decade and has trained in various lineages such as Power Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Anusara and Pilates. He is also a devoted student of eastern philosophy and spirituality, which he weaves into the physical practice to create a profound transformational experience. Bringing meaning to the practice and attention to refined biomechanics are at the heart of Nico’s teachings.

Clara Roberts-Oss believes that much of the spiritual practice is about ‘lila’, cosmic play. When we play, we are open to the unfolding while in process. It is less about the goal and more about the evolution. Clara has taught for over a decade and has been leading retreats and teacher trainings worldwide for the last 5 years. She draws from many different traditions including Prana Flow, Vinyasa, Iyengar, and Jivamukti, to create strong, integrated holistic classes. Clara has also studied philosophy with Paul Ortega, Lorin Roche and Daniel Odier.

 

 Testimonials shared by our past Dubai graduates: 

The overall structure of the workshop was absolutely awesome. The way we started every day’s session was very enlighten. By the time we reach our asana practice we were ready to rock, followed by firing up our core. Thanks Clara you are fantastic your energy made me stronger. – Jeanette 

One of the best training sessions I’ve been on thus far! Clara is an inspiring teacher, her passion for the practice as well as her experience shines through all the time. I love her style and realness. She’s very open to discussion, difference of opinion, exploring others ideas. The entire four days were from a space of love! – Aysha 

Clara is hugely inspirational –it was a treat to be taught by her. The practices exhibited the knowledge that she was imparting so that we could learn it kinesthetically too. I especially valued her alignments from a female perspective and the experience from her own teaching and injuries that she shared with us. – Mandy Wright

Nico’s organic enthusiasm and gregarious nature lends itself to the success of even the most passive learner! Having studied several different lineages and holding a core respect for each of them, he teaches and presents information that applies to many situations. I was never lost during our hours of discussion and debate; active listening happens naturally when Nico is teaching, making you want to follow along. His isn’t shy about sharing his experience or his own journey, to and through yoga, instinctively knowing how to connect to those he’s teaching. This workshop with Nico has not only answered questions but motivated me to ask more. The art of yoga, I believe, is an evolving state where experience provides layers upon layers of information, that weave together, enabling the student/teacher to consistently draw and learn from them. Nico is an artisan who pulls ‘fabric’ from many aspects— even the words themselves, to create and convey his teachings. My mental yoga mat is ever expanding thanks to vastly competent, qualified teachers; Nico is a perfect example of that. I welcome the opportunity to learn from him in the future! – Brittany Beltram

Nico was a wonderful teacher! I learned so much and he had an excellent approach with all of the students. I really appreciated being allowed to participate in the training even though I haven’t completed my 200hr. It was very beneficial for me to attend. Thank you – Michelle Remington
