This is a very specialized course intended by Mirka to
be accomodating to all of her students.
This course will be based on 3 principles of yogic wisdom; cikitsa(therapy), siksana(personal power), and adhyatmikha(self-awareness).
The first portion of the training will utilize Citiksa to establish preventative and strengthening practices. Students will work with asana, pranayama, visualization and deep relaxation to serve the various internal systems of the body. Then, from the foundations established in the Citiksa courses, students will progress in the study of Siksana to deeper exploration into asana and pranayama in static posture and use of sound. Here, the bija mantras will be used to explore the chakra model. Students will also explore internal strengthening and purification through the use of breath and awareness. From there, through Adhyatmika, students will deepen into the study of svadhyaya(self-study). This culminative course of study will aim to encourage students toward becoming more connected to their true nature.
Mirka has designed this longer format to set the stage for her students to generate a deeper, more sensitized understanding of exploring yoga for well-being. The 6 month format allows time for practice and integration, so that students are ready for the next wave of learning and can most fully benefit from Mirka's inspired teaching.
This In-depth Study serves as preparation for a continuing immersion into Viniyoga principles as it will be followed by a 200hr. Viniyoga Wellness Instructor Program to start in late fall. (Please go to www.viniyoga.com to review the Viniyoga Wellness Instructor Program, details for the upcoming dates at Westside to come soon...)
Whether you are a yoga practitioner, aspiring yoga teacher, current yoga teacher, or health professional interested in Viniyoga, Mirka is welcoming you to join this course. The Viniyoga In-depth Study will be 100hrs. of class-time, and will span 6 months. Students who continue on to The Viniyoga Wellness Instructor Training qualify for Yoga Alliance's 200hr. registration requirements for yoga teachers, plus 100hrs. continuing-ed credit, and may then go on to further their studies with AVI.
Tuition for the course is $1495, with a $495 non-refundable deposit to hold a spot. Please inquire with the studio about the payment plan we are offering, and pre-register soon as space is limited.
