Bhakti & Breathwork Teacher Training (200 Hours) With Michael Gannon & Coco LePage
"If you control the breath, you control the mind. When the breath wanders, the mind wanders. Just as a lion, elephant or tiger is tamed gradually, so should the life-force be controlled, else it will kill the practitioner!"
- Hatha Yoga Pradipika
This training utilizes powerful practices with breath to awaken, expand, and excel energetically in bodymind! We can then access this activation at a heart level, to enhance our bhakti, or devotional vibes.
Without the true power of breath, there is no spirit to drive our chanting and singing.
We will explore this by using ancient practices, classical practices, as well as more contemporary practices. An interesting observation that Gannon has is that most of the current day practices around breath are just re-introductions of traditional practices. Practices that have been around for a long, long time. But, people that are not aware of traditional practices think that it's something new. Even most people that are sharing and offering it, don't realize they are sharing something that's been around for thousands of years.
Another observation Gannon has is that most of these contemporary systems of breathwork that are being taught today would probably be better, and more appropriately, referred to as emotional release methods, not necessarily breathwork.
It's not that these practices are bad. In fact, they can be very powerful and beneficial in helping people move through traumas, energy blockages, or other limitations in the bodymind. It is only misleading when people mistake these practices as the definitionof breathwork.
We will experiment with all the above, so that we have a clearer understanding of breathwork, pranayama, and retaining the life-force. And, how to use this experience to explode our bhakti!
This teacher training is built around Michael's existing Gannon Power Breathwork Teacher Training, and covers practice of:
- Ujjayi Pranayama- Sama Vritti
- Ashtanga Pranayama System - All 6 Practices
-Oxygen Advantage Theory and Practice
-Breathe Light to Breathe Right - Wim Hof Philosophy and Practices
-Gannon Power Breathwork System
Bhakti Practices lead by Coco are included to cover:
-Learning and Chanting the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
-Classical Mantra Chanting
-How Pranayama is the driving force of all chanting
-Regular Kirtan Concerts
As always at Once Breath of Yoga hosted trainings, the family of integrators will lead Sacred Plant Medicines, Cacao Ceremony, Fire Ceremony, weekly Temazcal, and a Breath and Sound Healing with Pamela.
If yoga asana is not your primary practice, and you have been hesitant to join one of our strong teacher trainings built around the physical practice, this training is for you! Even though we will do asana each morning, the majority of our training together will be more seated, subtle, yet energetically powerful.
This training has also been created while having in mind all students and teachers that have completed training with Gannon and/or Coco. Be it at Yogaloft Playa del Carmen, One Breath Of Yoga, or elsewhere. We want to see you all go deeper inside to these subtle, yet transformational practices!
As this is a residential training, including food and lodging on-site, space is limited. So book your space with your initial deposit as soon as possible!
