What is “The Yoga of Embodied Insight”?

From āsana to sādhanā

Infusing modern yoga with spiritual practice and the goal of true liberation

Do you yearn for your yoga practice to be the spiritual balm that you thought it would be? Did you take a 200 hour yoga teacher training hoping that you could finally get into the REAL yoga and understand the roots, only to spend 70% of your time (or more!) practicing asana and learning about physical anatomy? Surely, the training deepened your practice and gave you some amazing experiences, maybe even spiritual experiences that really inspired you, but left you wondering how to integrate that into your own practice and teaching when what you learned is really primarily asana. So you show up to your mat everyday, maybe to the studio where you teach, and you teach or practice what you know: mostly asana with some breathing practices and a few inspirational thoughts or themes. And yet deep inside, you know that yoga has more to offer. 

Meditation is the core of this year long spiritual yoga immersion. You will receive detailed instruction and support. If you have tried meditation repeatedly and thought “I can’t do this,” this immersion is for you. Everyone can practice meditation and more than skills or technique what you really need are correct view and understanding, knowing that your efforts are working. Even if you have a sporadic or regular meditation practice, this immersion can help you go deeper and really see your meditation practice bring fruits, rather than just logging your daily minutes. 

“Resistance is nothing but commitment to your conditioning. If you want wonder, beauty, and joy to become the leitmotifs of your life, you must become willing to allow the experience, whatever it is, to totally dissolve into the silent presence that you truly are.” – Hareesh Wallis
