Kutilaa School of Embodied Resilience

Yoga is a holistic way of life, a philosophy of interconnection from which to view the world and live aligned to your purpose. Ayurveda and Shakta Tantra are the sister sciences essential to embodying yoga as a way of life. 

Ayurvedic wisdom provides a framework for honoring your individuality in lifestyle, nourishment, exercise, daily rituals of self-care, as well as choices around daily yoga sadhana (asana, vinyasa, karana, pranayama, mantra, meditation, etc.)

Shakta Tantra is the often overlooked (for various historical reasons you'll learn in this training) roots of much of popular modern yoga: embodied physical asana, vinyasa and movement, as well as popular aspects of the subtle body, such as the chakras, nadis and Kundalini.

This 8-HR weekend immersion gives an overview of the historical teachings alongside relevant modern evidence-based perspectives to provide practical value for the needs of modern life.

Looking for a 300-HR yoga teacher certification? This 8-HR weekend immersion counts toward Yoga Alliance approved 300-HR certification through the Kutilaa School of Embodied Resilience. Contact Michelle for more information.
