ORIGINS – 25h TT

LET’S BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING.

This weekend is an invitation to trace back to your origins, both through the lens of evolution and the philosophy of non-dual tantra. Ultimately this is yoga’s goal: to merge ourselves again with the state of oneness.​​

​The non-dual view of tantra tells us that everything originates from a unified field that chooses to express itself in myriad of forms, whether it be a leaf, a bird, a sound, a thought, or a human being.

Tantra is an embodied philosophy that is to be experienced rather than to be understood with our rational mind. It sees our body as a doorway to deeper experiences, rather than something that needs to be mastered or disciplined.

It is exactly the somatic approach to yoga that offers a unique way into your body. A practice becomes an expression of what is deeply felt inside, while connecting you to the innate intelligence of your body.

We will look at three evolutionary patterns while putting into perspective our relationship to the greater whole, seamlessly weaving together the somatic and tantric approaches. You will deep dive into your own practice in order to learn how to facilitate from this truly embodied place.

This weekend will be facilitated by Lies Mahy (BE) with guest facilitator Alexandra Macdonald (AU/CH). As sensitive and creative beings, they share a love for poetry, somatics and tantra and will provide you with a safe space to investigate unexplored territories in your body and mind.

THIS TRAINING IS FOR yoga teachers, devoted practitioners, bodyworkers, dancers, artists or therapists who:

– seek to deepen their own practice and explore the wisdom of their body.
– want to facilitate in a truly embodied way and break free from habitual class planning patterns.
– aim to guide their students into true alignment, where asana emerges from within rather than imposed shapes.
– want to integrate embodied touch and guidance in a non-intrusive, permissive way.
– wish to offer their students more freedom.
– are interested in a perspective that views the body as a doorway to deeper experiences rather than something to discipline.
– wish to make their classes feel like an engaging story that takes students on an inward journey that stays with them long after they leave the mat.
– are curious about weaving a somatic approach and tantric philosophy into their classes.
