The knowledge of the subtle layers of being informs all the practices of Yoga and most particularly the internal subtler practices. With this understanding greater depth and transformation is possible.

This knowledge and accompanying practices will change the way you view the body, the breath, the conscious background of the mind, the purpose of a life and what animates and informs it.

This training is designed to cultivate a deeper relationship with those aspects of our experience that operate at levels more refined than simply our physicality.  At this level we resonate with all forms of life and the background forces of creation itself. When our subtle nature and energetics are more accessible, observed and directly experienced consciously we become whole in our interface with internal and external realities and more awakened to our human potentialities. 

The cartology or map of this interdimensional, fascinating internal landscape, that includes prana vayus (governing energies of the body mind and consciousness within the human vehicle), marmas (special access points to nadis), nadis (energy channels not visible to the physical eye), chakras (convergence points of nadis), antahkarana (4-fold psychic instrument) and shariras (bodies/sheaths), reveals how we can bring seamless viability of function to this complex interpenetrating field of experience that we refer to as “ourselves.”  We are vibratory beings.

The relationship with the subtler domains of our being and the deeper dimensions of yoga is well documented for fundamentally accessing expanded states of consciousness.  Our evolution is related to our capacity to “yuj” or harness the potent but underdeveloped capacities that reside right within us.  This training fills this void in knowledge and provides pathways to unfold our true potential.
