12 DAY VINYASA YOGA
TEACHER TRAINING IMMERSION
You are invited to participate in a MYSTICAL Yoga Experience!

This summer solstice intensive brings together some of the most CELEBRATED teachers
in NYC!
Sarah Tomlinson and fellow-teacher Cliff Schuman present an in-depth experience
of vinyasa-flow yoga. Going beyond the physical practice, they weave the present-day
spiritual teachings with the knowledge of the ancient sages through the asana practice.

Sarah and Cliff were the first teachers to study with David Life and Sharon Gannon in the
Jivamukti Method.  From the early '90's until present day they have continued to delve into
the magic and precision of yoga with humor and grace gaining recognition Nationwide.

In addition, long-time mystic and meditator
Robert Fitzpatrick brings his wealth of wisdom to
the philosophical aspects of meditation and 'practice' in the training.  Meditation adds the
qualities of silence, receptivity and absorption to the teachings.    For those who are
interested in completing a yoga teacher training,  Dhanwantari's Director,
Brooke Cannoot
will guide you on an internship program and offer continued studying and teaching options
for those wishing to share this path of study with others.

Occupational Therapist that YOGA would be her primary therapeutic
modality.  Brooke founded Dhanwantari Center in 2007 to promote the
health benefits of yoga to the Michiana community.  She completed her yoga
teacher training with Sarah Tomlinson and brings her knowledge of
anatomy, western medicine and therapeutics to the Sarah Tomlinson

THE FACULTY
Robert Fitzpatrick  For Robert, self-inquiry has been the way of his life
for over 24 years. However about one year of this time was spent NOT
meditating as instructed whilst at the feet of Vedic and Sanskrit scholar,
overall master yogi, Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati. Also known as
Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D., Robert met "Guruji" at Ananda Ashram, Monroe
New York in 1988. So karmic irony being what it is, Mr. Fitzpatrick now leads
private and group meditations in New York City and other fantastic locals
around the globe, including South Bend Indiana!  Silliness aside,
paramount to my approach with students, is a deep respect for others
venturing upon the sacred journey of self-discovery. To quote my favorite
teacher, whom I mentioned above, "with these terms I wish good luck and a
good future to every living being". Right on...
