200-Hour Shamanic Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training

 Accredited by Yoga Alliance Profressionals

 A PIONEERING TRAINING FOR GUARDIANS OF THE GOLDEN AGE

I’m incredibly delighted to announce the opening of The School of Shamanic Kundalini Yoga and Healing Arts and the first 200-hour Shamanic Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training which will begin in May 2024.

This is a training that is designed to create embodied, well informed, kind and powerful teachers who have stepped into the fullness of themselves and are well placed to hold open the doors to deep healing and transformation for others. We will cover all aspects of the medicine wheel and earth energy medicine alongside learning how to teach Kundalini Yoga through the lens of Shamanism, which in these past years, I have found to be an incredibly potent approach to healing. 

The training will involve ten modules, three in-person and seven online in a hybrid system.

 The training and indeed all courses within the school will begin with a foundation weekend. 

THE FOUNDATION

This foundation is a deep dive into Shamanism and the self, the self within the self and an exploration of the Shamanic journey, meeting your allies and setting sail on a voyage of deep personal growth.

 For this 200-hour teacher training, there is the option of joining the foundation weekend in either May or September 2024. All the foundation weekends will take place at the beautiful Poblado Corozón in Menorca. 

The in-person training weekends in Ireland will happen at the incredibly beautiful Sanctury at Kilfane House in Co. Kilkenny, a powerful place indeed, a Georgian estate set deep in the forest.

The first gathering in Ireland culminates with the Winter Solstice of 2024 and the second coincides with the Summer Solstice of 2025, which will also be graduation.

I have chosen these places because of the energy of the land there and indeed much of these days will involve a deep connection to nature.

I believe it is important to be together in person to fully go through this training process.

THE SYLLABUS

The syllabus is broad and pioneering and this is the first training of its kind. A timely endeavour as we step into the Age of Aquarius.

 This training has been developed to produce teachers who are primarily guided to heal and to facilitate and hold spaces for deep healing.

The Shamanic Kundalini Yoga teacher coming out of this training, will be fully trained to administer the medicine of these ancient and powerful practices in a kind, caring and compassionate way, whilst feeling fully empowered to express their own gifts and to bring forth their own unique healing abilities.

 This course has been designed for people who want a new career as a Shamanic Kundalini Yoga teacher, for people who want to add this powerful tool for healing to their healing arts repertoire or for people who feel the call to go deeper into their journey with Kundalini Yoga and to learn more about Shamanism as a practice for daily life.
