Schedule
Training Flow - During your 25 day training, there will be 3 cycles of 7 days. Throughout the training we incorporate the wisdom of the Chakana, using the 3 worlds (Lower, Middle & Upper) from Shamanic teachings and traditions of the Native Americans of the Andean Mountains to heal our wounds and shadows so we can step into the journey of our own souls and manifest the beauty of our dreams into existence. The flow of the training is as follows (subject to change):
|
September 6th: Arrival and Dinner/Opening Circle 6pm
September 7th - 13th - Lower World, Serpent September 14th - Day Off September 15th - 21st - Middle World, Puma September 22nd - Day Off September 23rd - 29th - Upper World, Condor September 30th - Closing Yoga Ceremony and Departure Day |
Days Off – You can visit the spa on site or experience the peace and tranquility of an unspoiled island bay with excellent swimming, snorkeling and relaxation facilities.
You can also walk to Why Nam Beach and Haad Yuan Beach – along with Haad Tien, these 3 bays make up our small community. Why Nam is very small and peaceful, with just one bungalow resort and a restaurant. Haad Yuan is more developed, and great for swimming. We encourage you to walk, explore, and enjoy everything our 3 bays has to offer! The beach is kept clean and we all endeavor to take care of ecological waste and, through cooperation, keep this bay very special for all of our visitors and long term residents. In addition to providing a family-type atmosphere, it is a unique place in a fast-changing world. Theft within the Bay is practically unknown as access is limited to boats, or a stiff jungle walk. Daily Schedule - Please visit our Daily Schedule page for more information. |
Useful Information
Sick Days/Missed Classes - Full participation is required to complete the program. Any hours missed will require communication with a facilitator and an action plan as to how hours can be completed. If additional facilitator time is required to work with a student to make up hours, an additional cost of $50 per hour will incur.
Review Homework and Certification Requirements - At the end of the course, you will receive your 200-hr Yoga Teacher Certification. This course is approved by Yoga Alliance, so as a graduate of this program you will qualify to register as a teacher with the Yoga Alliance organization if you choose to do so. What to Pack - Bring clothes for yoga and comfortable clothes to hang out in. Make sure you bring your bathing suit and sun protection. It is best to bring all your toiletries and medications you will need as well. Bring your yoga mat, and a notebook. If you plan to do hiking or exploring, bring a hat, and appropriate pants and shoes. You may want to bring an umbrella or rain jacket as there is rain in this time of year but still with plenty of sunshine! The weather is warm…the days are mostly sunny and in the high 80’s. So pack light…short sleeves, tanks, shorts, sandals, sarongs, etc. You may want a light long sleeve shirt or hoodie, but for the most part, less is more. You do not need to bring straps, blocks or any yoga props other than your mat. If you do not have a mat or cannot bring one, we do have extras on site. There is wireless service on site if you would like to bring your own computer or wireless device. However, in order to stay focused, we recommend trying to unplug from technology as much as possible during your stay. General Packing List - |
