Tillai University: Om Time Yoga Teacher Training

January 26th – March 25th | Boulder, CO

A yogic wisdom training for the heart, mind, and body…

Deep in the heart of the forest, among the Tillai Trees, consciousness was raised, the Cosmic Dance was witnessed and the Yogic Tradition was born…

Tillai University is an unconventional, in-depth, transformational community training for those who want to authentically deepen their sadhana and for those looking for a powerful introduction to the path of teaching Yoga. Evolving out of the confluence of the delightful practices of yogic tradition, philosophy, history, breathwork, bodywork, asana and meditation, Tillai University provides a perfect setting to develop the Yogic Heart, one devoted to life, to supporting love and becoming a humble servant of change through Yoga.

Appropriate for all levels of soul warriors, heart acrobats and scholars of life’s juiciness. This is the place for us to spread our toes, open our hearts, serve life and swing from the tree of tradition and practice. You will learn the art and science of practicing yoga to serve your deepest heart, to teach yoga to serve the heart of the world.

We will learn about the sources and roots of Yoga, learning how to engage Yoga’s ancient teachings and texts including: Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, Vijnana Bhairava, and the Upanishads, texts far beyond the standard Yoga Teacher Training. Tillai University’s unique method of training includes a rich tradition of inquiry, contemplation, exploration and fun. Join us in discovering the layers of the Tantric Mind and Intrinsic Goodness as well as developing our Inner Teacher in a safe, supported, communal way.

You will learn how to build and teach amazing and inspirational Vinyasa yoga classes, and build the confidence and steadfastness in your practice to playfully discover your own voice and skills. We will delight in the rhythms of our practice, looking at the integrative perspectives of Energetic Alignment and the Prana Flow (R) aspects of sequential unfolding and flow, truly an evolutionary flow.

Along with the practice of systematically building classes which open your students up to the powerful winds of grace, you’ll learn how to align their bodies, minds and hearts, how to create powerful shifts while delighting in the process of change.

In depth instruction in Anatomy and Physiology of a Yogin, Philosophy, Developing a Meditation Practice You Love, Creating Practices with Deep Meaning, Articulation and Subtlety, Leadership, all the while, diving into your own vast heart to hear it’s wisdom and to gain the courage to let it guide you.

Tillai University is a unique offering, combining authentic teachings from some of the worlds top teachers, you’ll receive personal attention, community support and mentorship.

We do not teach a set sequence for practice, rather we offer a sound structure and method of sequencing from simple to complex.  You will feel the support and guidance as you delve into the core of your own creativity, using alignment, vinyasa and gradual layering of key actions, postures and sequences.  You will create classes that are sound, sensical, expressive, and completely unique to you.

Underneath the Tillai Trees is where sages came to witness the radiant becoming, where monkey-gods remembered their greatness and where we draw near to hear the whisperings of the heart, we will gather to bring these teachings to life.

About the Methodology

We believe that teaching comes from the heart, and that in order to guide each other through the jungle of our lives to our deepest, most resplendent experience, we have to return to our starting point. Our process of teaching begins with return, moving along the steps we have taken with fresh eyes and learning the object of our passion anew..

Together, we will create a return pathway, through the jungle of yoga, learning twists and turns, seeing poses and breaths from a new angle, becoming better informed in our own heart along the way. This return journey reinforms our senses, refines our understanding and provides ample ground for us to learn how to teach what we know and bring others along a path we have already tread.

The underlying principle of our method of teaching is that when we look back at where we came from, using our practice, our embodied understanding gained from precious years of practice, we discover the tools for teaching yoga.

We will learn to practice in new ways, discover new possibilities in our bodies and new understandings of the role of Yoga in everyday life..

The program weaves a tapestry of information, skill, embodiment and experience into a radical new way to learn the art and science of teaching. From our own energetic alignment we learn how to adjust and offer hands-on enhancements to others, from our breath we learn how to verbalize, from our heart we learn how to communicate, from the flow we learn how to improvise and from our community we create a safe, nurturing place to blossom.

About the Program

Tillai University is a 200 hour, Yoga Alliance Registered, training for those passionate, creative and inspired beings who crave the depths of Yoga.  Each meeting will be a focused intensive including practice, lecture, exploration and community. There will be ample time for discussion and much more time for study.

We strongly believe that “you are the company you keep,” therefore, we will be keeping great company together learning, laughing and exploring. The faculty includes Shannon Paige, Nancy Kate Williams, and guest presenters in their areas of specialty:  anatomy, Sanskrit, and psychology.

Courage : to be yourSelf! There is such power in practicing in the collective, weaved together in a tapestry of experience beautifully colored by the uniqueness of each individual.

Be authentic in your offering of the asanas, meet yourSelf right where you are each day, pull back to your center and embrace the truth, the beauty and the strength that lies within. Access the courage to offer your unique gifts to the world around you. There is only one you, so be courageously you! Shine brightly and radiantly because no matter what someone else offers, you have something that is special and one-of-a-kind! In this workshop we will engage Conscious Flow, using alignment principles in a vinyasa style class as we play with arm balances as a way to teach us to root down in order to rise up and pull to our center in order to offer out into the world around us!

Are you ready to take your practice to the next level? Kindness Yoga is gearing up for their ‘Awakening the Heart’ teacher training program, which allows you to complete the training over a 6-month period of time. More info below from the studio website:

Awakening the Heart of the Teacher

Kindness Yoga is thrilled to announce a NEW concept in yoga teacher development: our six-month Awakening the Heart Training. Unlike most teacher training courses, which pack 200 hours of intense training into six weeks, this revolutionary approach is designed to give you the time and space to awaken your heart—and connect authentically to your true purpose. You’ll build your knowledge base and hone your teaching skills over six months, gradually integrating the new patterns and practices into your daily regimen. Choose from two educational tracks:, both leading to mastery of the KINDA-Hot Yoga series: Awakening the Heart of the Seeker,for practitioners wishing to deepen their practice—and Awakening the Heart of the Teacher, for aspiring yoga instructors.

Kindness has assembled an impressive roster of experienced in-house teachers, local subject-matter experts and visiting faculty. January’s Dharma sessions, for example, will be co-led by nationally acclaimed author and master breath work practitioner Christian de la Huerta and Kindness faculty member Allyson Baker. Advanced breath work is another offering that differentiates the studio’s 2011 course work from typical teacher trainings. “People are moved to teach yoga by a variety of things,” says Harrington. “Christian’s life-changing breath work sessions will be instrumental helping each one of our students reveal his or her authentic dharma, or life’s purpose. It will not only transform their practice—it will make them more inspiring teachers. We are honored to be able to help them get there.”

Six In-Depth Themes for Total Transformation

Studies have shown that it takes 30 days to break patterns or create significant change within our natural rhythms. With this in mind, our curriculum is broken down to six in-depth themes, each to be absorbed over the course of one month—and each offering a powerful blend of physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual study. Like a well-crafted asana series, the themes are structured for maximum benefit, with each subject complementing and building upon the last. Your transformation will include:

November:
Meditation including education in and the practice of four different styles of meditation

December:
Asana explore your practice through the lens of intentional physical and physiological study

January:
DHARMA including intensely healing breath work and exploration of your individual life’s purpose

February:
Communication including verbal/non verbal, physiology and posture, public speaking and more

March:
Living Anatomy a functional and philosophical look at anatomy, including a half-day Cadaver Lab*

April:
Ayurveda an introduction to Ayurvedic nutrition, including a cleanse to complete our transformation

Thursdays November 3rd – April 12th

Awakening the Heart of the Teacher (200 Hours; $2,500):

Join Will Duprey at Rina Yoga for the second installment of his series ‘The Power of Yoga: Nadi Chakra Bandha Theory on Saturday afternoon from 2pm – 5:30pm!

This Master Series will explore the energetic system that underlie the whole human experience. This system referred to as the subtle body can easily be accessed by the practice of yoga. The subtle body is composed of a chief theory that we often eliminate from our physical practices. These practices are composed of nadis, chakras and bandhas. Nadis are similar to meridians used in acupuncture and are often described as tubes or lines that stretch out in a sheath beneath the body. Chakras are plexuses within the body where these lines meet. Bandha is a methodology of directing the energy pooled in the chakra. Hatha Yoga, comprised of a series of texts and based on a classical theory called shadanga, places a chief emphasis on mastery of the body. By mastery of this science, which includes flexibility, strength, and access to more postures, the body is made light, healthy and steady and able to achieve the first stage of yoga.

About Buddha Nose

Years ago, when founder Amy Galper combined the energetic dynamics of traditional Chinese bodywork with the essential oils of aromatic plants and mixed up a handful of homemade beauty products in her own kitchen, Buddha Nose was born. Today this USDA certified organic brand has expanded to an array of body balms, bath salts, two aromatic mists and more, and it’s a favorite in studios and spas across the world.

Buddha Nose is an award-winning, yoga inspired brand of USDA certified organic mind-body-beauty products.  The line includes 5 body moisturizing balms, 2 aromatic spray mists, 3 bath salts, a lip balm and an exfoliating soapy cleanser.

Our concept is mind-body-beauty – meaning that we believe that our state of mind affects our beauty and our health, and we convey our message through the uniquely blended combination of organic and wild-crafted essential oils in our products.  Each product has its own distinct mind-body-beauty intention – enriching the simple experience of moisturizing our skin, or soaking in the bath with added value and resonance.

Yogis tend to love our brand and Buddha Nose has, as a result, has collected a kind of trend-setting following that is both well known and well respected in the yoga community.

3 of our 12 products carry the USDA organic seal – demonstrating our strong commitment to organic ingredients and standards.  The remaining products contain only certified organic ingredients along with wild-crafted essential oils – none of our products contain any synthetics or petro-chemicals or toxins.
