Shakti Lila Yoga Teacher Training
SHAKTI LILA YOGA IS THE ART OF WEAVING SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE INTO EVERYDAY LIFE. Enjoy, Energize, EVOLVE.
THE WILLOWS PROGRAM Define the art of teaching yoga with dynamic skills in a nurturing environment. Engage with the kula on your journey to the heart of your practice as you expand your yoga world. Explore Tantra, Universal Principles of Alignment from the Anusara system of yoga, and the anatomy of movement to enhance structural and energetic foundations in the pose.
Create elegant and powerful connections to alignment by understanding the energetic anatomy of the body: the Chakras, Prana and Koshas. Deepen your meditation practice to creative pulsation with techniques designed to open and balance the body and emotions in profound ways, to explore imagination and intuition, the art of attraction, wisdom at a cellular level, and transform your practice, relationships, thoughts, actions and feelings. Begin to teach skills that clearly articulate Tantra from the heart, use themes, imagery and language that are grounded in your own experience and hone your skills of observing, adjusting and assisting your students. The seven Lila sessions are the foundation for the Teacher Intensives and Apprenticeship which follow.
From Sanskrit:
Shakti - The power of consciousness, the force of manifestation in the universe.
Lila - To play on the stage with no boundaries, Divine movements and activities, so shaped and designed that the suit the time, the person and the aspiration.

OUR VISION
At the heart of teaching yoga is the process of adhikara, applying oneself to continual study. Bringing elements of personal experience, expression, compassion and ancient wisdom together within the context of a yoga class is simply art. An effective yoga teacher communicates their own playful expression from the heart and in turn students can connect with their innate joy and goodness.
" The Teacher Training Program with Sherry at the Willows was a truly a life-changing experience for me. I began the program hoping to brush up on the physical aspects of my own yoga practice, but emerged from the program with an amazing resurgence of personal growth on all levels ~ physical, mental and spiritual. Sherry's depth of knowledge and her care and guidance make for a transformative experience I would enthusiastically recommend for all students of yoga, whether they intend to go on to share their knowledge by teaching others or for their own personal journey."
