YOGA IMMERSION AND TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM
Facilitator: Saul David Raye
Saul's
unique and powerful style of teaching is deeply intuitive and grounded
in many years of study and practice. He is able to weave together all
the different aspects of Yoga and healing in a way that is clear, powerful
and accessible. Saul is considered by his students as a master guide,
helping people to connect more deeply with their own authentic power and
spirit. He holds a sacred space in which healing and transformation arise
naturally.
The Holistic Yoga Immersion and Teacher Training Program is a transformational journey into the art, science, power and spirit of Yoga. This program is for teachers, aspiring teachers and serious students wishing to deepen their understanding and experience of Yoga on all levels. Course focus is on practicing and teaching holistic Yoga in the Ritam Yoga vinyasa style, as a sacred practice of embodiment, healing and transformation.
Ritam Yoga is a holistic healing style of Yoga that draws on the teachings of Yoga, Bhakti, Ayurveda, Tantra, Jyotish and all forms of Universal love and wisdom. It is an empowering, non-competitive practice that honors the deep roots and traditions of Yoga, while allowing for individual expression and conscious evolution. Practice integrates postures, breath work, meditation, chanting and other yogic techniques into a vinyasa style with an emphasis on connecting with one's own intuitive intelligence, creativity and spirit.
Participants will
be taught the fundamentals of teaching Ha-Tha Yoga in the vinyasa
style, while gathering a deeper understanding and knowledge of Yoga's
full scope and depth. Beyond the physical aspects of practice, this course
will give key information and principles to impact all areas of life in
a positive way. The nature of this course will be empowering and life
affirming, helping all participants to take the quantum leap in their
Yoga practice and life journey.

Module 4
Fire: Transformation
Since the dawn of time, mystics, poets and spiritual traditions have spoken of light as the essence of life and the source of all energy, being and illumination. A cosmic fire that radiates through all of existence; from the center of the cosmic sun that sustains our solar system, to the molten core of mother earth, to the inner light that shines in each being. In the Yogic process, Fire is the transforming element between matter and spirit and the key to true and lasting transformation. In humans, fire manifests primarily as the digestive fire (fire in the belly!) which keeps the physical body alive, healthy and radiant; the mental fire, which is the light of our intelligence, perception and discrimination; and the spiritual fire, which is the essence of our being and expresses through all other levels. The awakening of this inner fire is at the heart of vibrant health, a radiant mind and spiritual experience.
Course Focus:
This module of the Teacher Training and In-Depth Study program will take
the student deeper into Yoga as a practice of alchemy and transformation.
More advanced practices will be taught and the student will gain a deeper
understanding and knowledge of the whole yogic darshan (vision), healing
and spiritual awakening.
There will be an emphasis on meditation, pranayama & Ayurveda, as
well as practical tools to support living an awakened & inspired life
and supporting others in this process.
