Healing the World Begins With You
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS TO THE 2025 ABHYASA TRAINING PROGRAM!
Abhyasa means constant practice. Through proper understanding of its philosophy and constant practice on and off the mat, yoga truly has the power to transform our lives. With emphasis on yoga philosophy, meditation and pranayama (breathing), this program is perfect for aspiring teachers and those ready to experience and share the gifts of yoga 24/7.
If you want to:
feel whole, lovable and worthy just as you are
express yourself without fear of judgment
feel connected to the voice of knowing within you
take time for yourself - guilt free
feel content even when things around you “aren’t working”
do your part to heal the world
this course is for you. All the answers are within you. Yoga shows you how to access them.
“I’ve had a really hard 10 years and I haven’t felt real joy in almost that long, but thanks to this course, I feel joy again.” ~ Abhyasa TT Graduate
Developing New Habits Takes Practice
Abhyasa means constant practice. Over three months, you’ll learn how to practice yoga WHILE you’re engaged in your regular life. You don’t need to take any time off for this course. In fact, it’s more transformative if you start practicing right where you are.
This training is shared over nine weekends in Winnipeg (or virtually). All sessions will be recorded so students with schedule conflicts may still participate. You’ll receive weekly homework in asana (postures), meditation, pranayama and self-reflection. This homework will enable you to integrate the practices into your daily life. When you’re done, you’ll have:
daily practices that energize and inspire you
confidence in yourself and your ability to navigate challenges
self compassion to establish healthy boundaries
restored hope and zest for life
Even better, you’ll be able to share all of this with others - doing your part to make the world a happier place.
Can’t touch your toes? Not in your 20’s anymore? It doesn’t matter. Yoga is for everyone and will meet you where you’re at.
“I’ve always been a very Type-A person, and grew up in an environment that rewarded these tendencies. But I was burning out. This training helped me create beautiful new habits, reprogram old ones, and meet the inevitable criticism I give myself along the way with more and more self-compassion.”
~ Mindy Eng, 2021 Graduate
