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.

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...
