Dates and time:

Every Saturday at 9.30am – 12pm. 15th January is the opening session and 19th March is the closing session.

In the following dates; 29.1, 12.2, 5.3 and 19.3 the sessions will be from 6.30pm till 9pm.

The Program:

Reactivate your vital energy forces of your body through the breath, and learn how to become the master of your thoughts, feelings and destiny. The breath is the most vital process of the body, through which we exchange Prana constantly with the universe. Prana is the force, which animates all living beings as well as the force that creates and binds matter, as we know it.

Pranayama practices are mostly done with our breath, which allows us to control, extend, awaken and preserve our Prana.  As the breath is intimately linked to our thoughts, feelings, and every little cell of the body, Pranayamas are used to prepare our mind for the subtle process of meditation and concentration and to heal our whole being down to the cellular level. These exercises initiate profound transformation of our whole being.

In this journey we will gradually develop breath awareness, the ability to extend and expand our breathing process, and dive deep into the traditional Pranayamas that were perceived by the ancient sages as secret tools to elevate our consciousness. The practices will be learned in a step-by-step approach and therefore this course doesn’t require any pre knowledge or experience.

This Pranayama Teacher Training can fit for Yoga teachers, and breath workers who wishes to deepen their knowledge, practice and teaching techniques, or to any one without any experience who would like to dive in, to one of the more subtle aspects of yoga practice. This course’s hours are countable as Continuing Education hours in Yoga Alliance for active and registered Yoga teachers.

In addition you will get a certificate upon the completion of the training.

About the teacher:

For Shir, practicing yoga is like going into nature and breathing clean air after staying in the city for too long: “Yoga teaches that there is a lot of peace and joy inside each one of us that doesn’t depend on anything external. Yoga is a spiritual path for my life.”

In his quest of searching more subtle experience of yoga and understanding how to strive towards yoga, Shir looked for a living master. At that time he found his Guru, Sri Dharma Mittra. By meeting him Shir felt that many question marks about how to live yoga fully were answered. That meeting helped Shir to have a rapid progress in his own Sadhana (practice of yoga towards self-realization). Shir completed the advance teacher training with Dharma Mittra, with eternal feeling of gratefulness.
