“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”  – Pele

“Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven’t planted” – David Bly

The main goal of the course is transformation, healing and raising self-awareness and it happens to be that one of the most effective way to improve those qualities is by activating the body through the various methodologies (Qigong, Tai Chi, Mitakara etc.) which do not necessarily require high level of flexibility.  So the course it’s not about flexibility, rather how we use our bodies in a way that is most beneficial for our well being.

The honest answer is: YES and NO. Our program will teach you everything you need to know about how to structure your own classes, how to safely instruct classes, how to give verbal instruction and demonstrations, but the key elements for success are still self-discipline, dedication and self-motivation.

Our responsibility:  We designed the program in such a way that if you successfully complete the course: attending all daily activities, meditations, lectures, Tai chi and Qigong classes,  then you will have enough knowledge and confidence to share gained experience with others.

Your responsibility:  If you so much desire to be a teacher and willing to put in the hard work, perseverance and determination then the answer is a resounding YES.  If there’s a will, there’s a way. We are the creators of our reality.  

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Our program is unique in that it less about the business of yoga and more focus on the original essence of Yoga (Union with the divine).  

“Then the Seer abides in Itself, resting in its own True Nature, which is called Self-Realization.” – Yoga Sutras

We are not saying that business and making a living from teaching is not a good thing.  We believe that the everything we do is about intention. If our intention and commitment is for self-development and to be in service for others then we believe the universe will conspire to help us in any kind way needed to fulfill all of our requirements for success.  If our intention is only about the business aspect, then we would have missed the true value of sharing. In order to be service to others, you must be in service to yourself. So to answer this question: The course is beneficial if you feel a calling to deepen the technical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspect of your practice and teachings.

It is true that each topic is an entire field of study in itself and to become a master at anyone of these disciplines will take many lifetimes.  Our program is unique in that we are extracting essential core teachings and practices of Yoga, Taoism, Shamanism, Biofeedback and applying these principles for Transformation and Healing for ourselves and others.  In addition to our focus on the core teachings, the structure and curriculum has been designed using scientific learning methodology to help students integrate the teachings in the very core of their being.

So please do not think about missing class. Think about all of the amazing experiences you will be missing if you don’t come to class.

Our aim is to support you as much as we can in your learning process and to help you achieve your goals.  We believe that learning is very much like life: fun, serious, exciting, challenging, etc. Not necessarily in that order.  It can be anything at anytime. The point is that we recognize that learning doesn’t have a fixed idea of teaching and then testing.  It is an ongoing process. Having said this, our job is creating a safe and supportive container to help you put into practice the following principles: “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand” – Confucius.
