Are you ready to make a quantum leap in your life? Interested in a spiritual reboot? Are you looking for inspiration, growth, and bringing a deeper level of awareness to your choices? Ready to step out of your comfort zone, embrace change, discover something new about yourself, and let go of fear and doubt? This program provides a structure for exploring diverse spiritual practices and deepening the ones that you currently practice, improving the quality of your life. In this program there is a powerful group dynamic as we practice, as a collective to raise consciousness in one’s self and others. While one’s spirituality develops over a lifetime, for those who bring sincerity and dedication, transformation and deepening levels of one’s authenticity is experienced.

This program accelerates that assimilation in width, breadth and depth, enhancing one’s yoga knowledge and personal spiritual practice. This program is structured in a way that one’s practice continues to spiritualize every aspect of their life leading to the realization of the goals of yoga: such as more compassion, deeper intuition, and profound bliss. The program assists with more wholly integrating the full spectrum of yoga into the students’ daily life in a more natural, organic way.  The fabulous nationally and internationally respected guest presenters, self-directed assignments, and satsang are highly instrumental in the learning process.

Unite and deepen in spiritual community, satsang amongst great yogis with the courage to take the practices of yoga to another level. This is a very special opportunity to connect more deeply with our intuition, deepen the multi-faceted aspects of our spiritual lifestyle, and refine our abilities to listen, communicate, share, envision and more deeply experience touch, taste, and smell. Embark on this conscious spiritual evolution on a journey to deep ahimsa and peace.

What is World Peace Yoga?

World Peace Yoga is a holistic, courageous and practical approach to yoga that incorporates practices both on and off the mat, from philosophy and ethics, to physical postures, breathing techniques and meditation, to plant-based cooking.  World Peace Yoga as a Hatha Yoga style is a practice where we focus on the ancient yogic tradition of ahimsa. Ahimsa is Sanskrit for “non harming” and implies practicing kindness to one’s self, to others, to all living beings, and to the earth. From practicing yoga asana (the postures, which is what many people see as “yoga”), meditation, satsang (gathering in spiritual community) and pranayama (breathing exercises), we have a healthier life with less stress, anxiety, and tension. We encourage the greater development of intuition to make healthier and wiser choices in life.  World Peace Yoga is a practice that incorporates physical wellness with spiritual living. It is a style of yoga that touches more than just one aspect of life and motivates a positive transformation in individual and collective lives.

Seven Aspects of a World Peace Spiritual Practice:

1. Ahimsa: nonharming, cultivate love for one’s self and all beings
2. Asana: pose, seat, or connection to the earth
3. Pranayama:  regulating our vital life force energy using breathing techniques
4. Meditation: peace of mind
5. Karma Yoga: service to one’s self, the earth, and all beings
6. Bhakti: devotion, sincere intention to connect with your authentic self
7. Intuition: connecting with one’s innate intelligence or sixth sense

World Peace Yoga asana classes are taught in three main formats, Yoga Basics, Vinyasa Yoga, and Yin-Restorative Yoga.  Sequencing is designed to harmonize the chakras, while incorporating the six other aspects in some way, shape, or form.

The three main World Peace Yoga asana formats defined:

Yoga Basics for Life
Learn the foundational yoga postures typically practiced in a yoga-asana sequence learning precise alignment.  There are 5 different class structures you will learn for building a personal spiritual practice.  This is a wonderful practice for those new to yoga or for those that are established in their practice and want to refine their alignment. Learn the basics of asana (posture) alignment, breath, intention, and relaxation as part of a daily spiritual practice.

Vinyasa Yoga for Life Flow
A vinyasa practice links breath with every day life, movement, and intention.  In this training, you will learn the class structures you will learn for a Beginner Vinyasa sequence.  In this practice you will flow through a balanced stream of postures including sun salutations, standing postures, backbends, forward bends, twists, inversions, relaxation and more.  These are active practices that encourage focused life intention, meditation, relaxation, and spiritual growth through asana.

Yin Yoga for Life Restoration and Balance
Based on the Chinese system of yoga, this style is used to enhance the flow of energy or chi through the body combining two approaches of teaching into one practice: one approach is yin – passive and restorative holds and the other approach is yang – active stretching and strengthening using fluid circular movements (as in a Vinyasa practice). Yin Yoga works to increase greater range of motion in the joints and stretches the connective tissue. These practices are able to create more relaxation, restoration, and balance in one’s everyday life.
