Our next RYT300 Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Course begins with Module 1 (Introspection) on Friday 15th August, 2025.

Introspection invites us to look inward, to better understand our own thoughts, feelings, and motivations. It’s a way of checking in with ourselves, to see what’s really going on inside.

Introspection occurs when we reflect on past events, current emotions, or decisions we’re facing. This process of raising self-awareness helps us make better choices, improve relationships, and boost overall well-being.

On Module 1 of our RYT300, we’ll introspect individually and collectively, as we build and expand upon our understanding of both the practice and teaching of yoga. We’ll also:

- Reflect upon where we are as students and teachers of yoga.
- Use the chakra system as a roadmap to look deeper into our natural talents, areas of ease and light.
- Explore areas of discomfort, areas where we numb or shut down, and reflect on these for personal growth and development.
- Discuss the anatomy and physiology associated with key chakra points.
- Enhance our teaching skills by learning more advanced, detailed and subtle yoga practices and techniques.
- Consider issues that may arise for yoga teachers in the world today.

The 3x 10-day (100hr) modules may be completed in any order over a period of up to 3 years.

Our dates for 2025 are as follows:

- Mod 1. Introspection: August 15th-24th
- Mod 2. Revitalise: September 12th-21st
- Mod 3. Moving Forward: Oct 17th-26th

Lion’s Gate Ancestral Return – A Somatic New Moon Ceremony.
Cape Town, South Africa | New Moon in Leo (Lion’s Gate Portal).

Join us for a sacred 3hr immersion, weaving Southern African ancestral wisdom, somatic healing, and nervous system alchemy – held under the cosmic activation of the Lion’s Gate portal (8/8) and the Leo New Moon.

As winter’s stillness invites introspection, and the New Moon offers a gateway to renewal, we gather during this powerful alignment – where Sangoma teachings remind us to listen to the whispers of the land and the voices of our ancestors.

What You’ll Experience:

Opening Ceremony: Imphepho smoke cleansing, Lion’s Gate attunement, and a libation ritual to honour the ancestors.

Ancestral Mapping (Sangoma-led): Somatic journaling and ochre pigment work to trace ancestral imprints stored in the body.

Somatic Yoga Reset: A trauma-informed sequence integrating Sangoma energetic principles and vagus nerve activation—for harmonising head, heart, and gut-brain connection.

Embodied Story Circles: Voice, movement, and altar weaving in a shared ritual space to integrate healing through collective presence.

Closing Ritual: Plant ally cleansing and Yoga Nidra to seal your intentions with softness, rest, and ancestral blessings.

This Ceremony is for You if You’re Seeking:

– A deeper connection with your lineage and the land
– A sacred space for nervous system reset and emotional integration
– Ancestral healing through somatic and ritual practices
– A way to honour your ancestors while creating new neural pathways for relating
– Alignment with cosmic and seasonal rhythms
– A grounded yet mystical communal experience for sensitives, healers, and space-holders

Come reclaim the wisdom your body has always remembered.
