The Mandorla approach to yoga is based on the principle of embodiment. With a focus on moving inward, we support our student in re-inhabiting their body, feeling their emotions fully and enjoying their life. It is about re-awakening our innate ability to listen to our bodies needs and tapping into the emotional patterning that is locked in our tissues. In so doing, there is hope that we can develop an emotional understanding, a vocabulary that allows us to distinguish the difference between who we are versus the emotions that move through us..
We are passionate about sharing the fusion of Thai Yoga Massage and Yoga with our students. The profound element of healing touch that we teach in our programs is a healing experience in and of itself that prepares you to become a profound teacher and healer. Our two main offerings, Embodiment Yoga Teacher Training and Thai Yoga Therapy Training are designed to support you first and foremost in your own healing journey. We do this by ensuring that we create an atmosphere that it is safe and non-intimidating. We keep our class sizes small and we make sure that we, your teachers, are accessible and approachable.
Injury in yoga practice occurs when we try to achieve or force a posture. Healing in yoga practice occurs when we take the time to select the needed postures and adapt them to our needs and abilities. In therapeutic yoga we merge the feminine arts of listening, creativity and intuition with the much needed masculine energy of functional anatomy and orthopedic exercise principles. Our courses are developed with this intention so that our graduates are both confident and compassionate. We believe that a therapeutic yoga session should feel safe and trans-formative; like you have spent time with an inspiring friend who is cheering you on.
