The 5 Bodies - Physical and Energetic Yogic Anatomy
There is no greater knowledge than the knowledge of ourselves.
This immersion is for any dedicated student or teacher wanting to explore an embodied experience of awareness, from the skin to the subtlest parts of who you are. Through the Yogic system of the 5 Koshas (layers or bodies) we will study the inherent interconnection of the body, mind, breath and energy; an embodied anatomy which allows us to experience alignment across the 5 layers of our being. Irene’s teachings will offer practitioners an enrichment of awareness for personal yoga practice, and engage teachers to hold space for more nuanced, layered experiences in their classes.
This immersion combines almost 20 years experience in Yoga, Meditation, Clinical Physiotherapy and Mental Health to bridge the knowledge of WESTERN SCIENCE and EASTERN WISDOM made relevant for the study and practice of YOGA.
This course is Yoga Alliance certified: 50hrs of continuing education credits for current 200hr+ teachers / 50 hrs count towards all teachers completing The Bridge School 300hr teacher training.
