Bhava Vinyasa Flow
Teacher Training Program
 

Bhava - devotional state of mind , “feeling mind”: Bhava is a deep yogic concept that extends to all of life as the feeling state of being sometimes translated as “mood” that forms the inner “soil” from which all yoga experience arises. Bhava is a whole body experience that athletes, artists, gardners – anyone who is bringing the power of inner unification with the state they are experiencing into action. Technique without bhava is like food without taste – it is the inner state that brings trasformation and satisfaction to the flow of yoga. ~Shiva Rea

During each class we focus on a particular component of teaching a complete Vinyasa-style yoga class. Throughout the course we will explore the principles behind yoga, including the benefits, its relationship to the rest of our lives, manifesting and transmitting the techniques in an authentic way.
