300 Hour Yoga Vaidya Advanced Training Program

Deepen Your Study on the Path of Yoga! A series of trainings aimed at giving serious practitioners and/or yoga teachers the skills and means to develop wisdom and insight related to one’s personal sadhana and teaching. The LOY Advanced Training helps one access the creative and intuitive realm of becoming a Yoga Vaidya (traditional physician of Yoga)

Light on Yoga (LOY) is a teachers’ training dedicated to the preservation of the teachings of The Himalayan Tantric Tradition. After over 20 years of teaching, I have found that there is a decline in the quality of yoga teachers and education, and a separation of meditation from yoga. This has really inspired me to want to create this opportunity for serious practitioners – those who wish to understand how to walk the path of Yoga and become meditators who are guardians of the teachings. LOY will delve into how we can become an ariya, or noble one – one who practices, embodies, and shares the classical and integral teachings of Yoga by their living example though alignment of thought, speech and action. These teacher trainings are for those who have a serious intention, dedication and practice, and are seeking truly the way of service and liberation through tantra, the 8 limbs and 8 fold noble path in this modern world.

MODULES

Modules can be taken all together to qualify for entire Advanced Training in Light on Yoga (LOY) or separately; modules do not have to be taken in order, although Light on Hatha Yoga: The Science of Kundalini & Prana is a foundation for all others. If one is doing the Transmission TTC, then Advanced Meditative Techniques is not necessary.
