What is 'Journey through the Koshas'?
Kosha, a Sanskrit word meaning ‘sheath’ describes the different layers of what we’re made up of from the most dense and tangible to the more subtle and soulful.
In this series, you will explore the physical, energetic, mental, emotional and intuitive body and come to understand what’s beyond as the spark of your soul. Each module is focused on sensing and uncovering each of the five koshas - body, energy, mind, wisdom and bliss.
Within this personalised 1:1 certified mentorship course, you’ll have the opportunity to explore and integrate a variety of deeply insightful philosophical teachings, asana and pranayama practices and Yoga Nidra meditations, so that you can teach and guide Yoga Nidra with confidence.
You’ll receive Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Non-linear movement and Restorative Yoga practices, inspired by the elements of nature, designed for all-levels, to fit into your daily routine.
The sublime Yoga Nidra audio recordings calm your nervous system as well as reprogram new neural pathways for lasting transformation.
