I AM Yoga Therapy™ Training

with Chitra Marie Bailey

February 1 - 13, 2019
Amrit Yoga Institute
Life is energy. It is meant to flow through us, each time leaving us broader, richer and evolving us for having known it. When we experience more intensity than we can handle, we shut this process down and create blocks in the body. The Amrit Method of Yoga Therapy is designed to not only treat visible physical symptoms, but is aimed at addressing the invisible mental and emotional blocks that contribute to them. Using gravity supported, static poses held by the facilitator, or with the use of the wall or props ,you will learn how to surface and release blockages held in body zones such as legs, buttocks, hamstrings, heart and shoulders. This rejuvenating and releasing experience enhances your understanding of the energetic aspects of yoga and how to use it for yourself and others as one of the most profound healing modalities you will ever encounter. • Explore the…

Awakening Christ Consciousness with Gurudev Shri Amritji

with Gurudev Shri Amritji

April 18 - 21, 2019
Amrit Yoga Institute
Amritji reveals the relationship between Christ Consciousness and the Yogic path during this beautiful weekend program. Christ revealed and demonstrated the indwelling awakened divinity of potential consciousness that we innately are. Christ was not his body that happened at birth and disappeared with death. Christ is the consciousness: timeless, impersonal, universal, and self-luminous. The ultimate source of entire creation.  If we understand Christ in this context, there is a possibility of real celebration. Consciousness is impersonal and hence it manifested through great masters, in many nations, various cultures, in various forms, under different names, at different times throughout human history. Christ is an undivided reality of oneness. Who ever separates him or herself from the creation moves out of the reality that Christ is – impersonal and universal. In this weekend immersion, you will experientially and intellectually learn the tools for you to connect to Christ Consciousness through the medium…

Spirit of Yoga – Southwest Institute of Healing Arts' new, dedicated Yoga Teacher Training facility Certificate of Excellence in Yoga Nidra Yoga Nidra, or “psychic sleep,” is an ancient practice that allows the body and mind to enter into a deeply relaxed state with the intention of bringing the conscious mind into harmony with the subconscious and unconscious. Essentially, while the body enters a state of sleep, the mind is guided into a place between sleep and wakefulness in order to accept positive instructions from a facilitator. These instructions are meant to promote mental healing through the power of unconscious visualization, pranic healing through the flow of light and energy in the body, and an increased sense of will power and resilience. This powerful technique of synchronization has been shown to be useful in eliminating the root causes of negative thinking and stress. Through the perspective gained in Yoga Nidra, we…

Life is energy. It is meant to flow through us, each time leaving us broader, richer and evolving us for having known it. When we experience more intensity than we can handle, we shut this process down and create blocks in the body. The Amrit Method of Yoga Therapy is designed to not only treat visible physical symptoms, but is aimed at addressing the invisible mental and emotional blocks that contribute to them. Using gravity supported, static poses held by the facilitator, or with the use of the wall or props ,you will learn how to surface and release blockages held in body zones such as legs, buttocks, hamstrings, heart and shoulders. This rejuvenating and releasing experience enhances your understanding of the energetic aspects of yoga and how to use it for yourself and others as one of the most profound healing modalities you will ever encounter. • Explore the…

Spirit of Yoga – Southwest Institute of Healing Arts' new, dedicated Yoga Teacher Training facility Certificate of Excellence in Yoga Nidra Yoga Nidra, or “psychic sleep,” is an ancient practice that allows the body and mind to enter into a deeply relaxed state with the intention of bringing the conscious mind into harmony with the subconscious and unconscious. Essentially, while the body enters a state of sleep, the mind is guided into a place between sleep and wakefulness in order to accept positive instructions from a facilitator.

This powerful technique of synchronization has been shown to be useful in eliminating the root causes of negative thinking and stress. Through the perspective gained in Yoga Nidra, we…

I AM Yoga® Millennial Retreat: Yoga as Meaning, Purpose and Potential

with Nirali Lauren McCrea

October 4 - 6, 2019
Amrit Yoga Institute
Yoga as Meaning, Purpose and Potential (For Millenials, By Millenials) “That which you are seeking is you.” – Yogi Amrit Desai Envision your ideal life’s expression. Through our unique skillsets and perspectives, there are specific contributions we know we’re meant to make in this world. At times, access to a fulfilled, meaningful life appears unavailable or intermittent. So, what unconsciously limits the actualization of these aspirations? Are you so afraid of making a wrong move that you sometimes feel paralyzed? Have you done “all the right things” and wonder why you’re still unfulfilled? Do you ever feel like there has to be something more? “I climbed to the top of the ladder only to find it was leaning against the wrong wall.”- Thomas Merton The pressures and confusion we face in our 20’s and 30’s can detract from the healthy, happy, fulfilled life of meaning, purpose and potential we were…

I AM Yoga Therapy™: Yoga Body Psychology Training at SWIHA

with Chitra Marie Bailey

October 11 - December 15, 2019
Spirit of Yoga in Tempe, AZ
Life is energy. It is meant to flow through us, each time leaving us broader, richer and evolving us for having known it. When we experience more intensity than we can handle, we shut this process down and create blocks in the body. The Integrative Amrit Method of Yoga Body Psychology is designed to not only treat visible physical symptoms, but is aimed at addressing the invisible mental and emotional blocks that contribute to them. Using gravity supported, static poses held by the facilitator, or with the use of the wall or props, you will learn how to surface and release blockages held in body zones such as legs, buttocks, hamstrings, heart and shoulders. This rejuvenating and releasing experience enhances your understanding of the energetic aspects of yoga and how to use it for yourself and others as one of the most profound healing modalities you will ever encounter. The…
