Be.Within ~ ~ 100-HOUR YOGA + WELLNESS IMMERSION The first half of Be.Yoga's 200-Hour Be.teaching from Within Yoga Teacher Training
What if deepening your yoga practice wasn't just learning more poses, but learning more about the person ( you :) inside them?
Begin at your foundation.
From the architecture of your feet to the alignment of your spine and crown, we'll explore how your unique body moves, compensates, strengthens, softens and finds greater ease.
And then we'll peel back layers and dive deeper.
Yoga invites us to notice the patterns we can't see in a mirror ~ the habits, expectations, stories and beliefs we've accumulated along the way. Thru yoga philosophy and self inquiry we will explore which ones still support us? Which ones might be ready to be questioned, softened or shed?
This 100-hour immersion weaves together the physical, philosophical and contemplative practices of yoga in a way that is practical, personal and so enriching to your life, both on and off the mat.
WE'LL EXPLORE:
ALIGNMENT + ANATOMY Postural awareness from feet to crown • individual anatomy • intelligent modifications • strength, mobility + stability • understanding the “why” we do + not do …
YOGA BEYOND THE POSES Yoga philosophy • the Eight Limbs • Yamas + Niyamas • Chakras • Koshas • Vayus • Ancient teachings considered through the lens of modern life
BREATH + NERVOUS SYSTEM Pranayama • nervous system regulation • learning how breath can influence energy, attention and state
STILLNESS + SELF-INQUIRY Meditation • Gentle, Yin, Restorative + Somatic practices Expiring how it feels to Be.Within + moved from that place… The You, You of You.
———————————————
With every breath, there is an exchange between what is inside of us and the world outside of us. Yoga invites us to become more aware of that relationship. Through movement, breath, stillness, philosophy and inquiry, we learn not only to stretch our bodies, but to stretch our minds and our mindsets, questioning old stories, habits and beliefs that may no longer serve us. And sometimes, we learn to unlearn. We begin to question the idea that there is one “right” way for every body to practice a posture. Instead of practicing through the lens of someone else's directives, we get curious about our own unique anatomy.Our bodies have histories. They have different proportions, injuries, strengths and limitations. They age. They change. They move through different seasons.
Our yoga practice should be allowed to change with them.
Rather than asking our bodies to conform to a pose, or requiring our mind to think and react as it may have been doing for years, we will explore how the practices can meet the body, mind and heart that has actually arrived on the mat. Your mindset will shift, your life may shift, your relationship in the world most likely will shift. I LOVE that there are countless opportunities to weave philosophies thru the Yogic lens into your whole Be.ing. XO
Be.Within becomes the first 100 hours of the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Certification journey. and For now, we begin here :)
Weekend 1: Foundations of Yoga and Inquiry Be.Rooted
We begin where Yoga begins: Curiously exploring movement leading to stillness in our bodies, minds and being.
This opening weekend invites us to consider where we have been on our mats, what we have learned along the way and where we feel called to go next.
Our physical exploration begins quite literally at the ground through foundational standing postures, investigating the feet, legs and their relationship to the pelvis while beginning to understand how our individual anatomy influences the way we move and experience yoga and is very unique to each of US! How many asanas do you think we will find tadasana in?
Rather than approaching alignment as a set of rigid rules, we will ask what are we trying to accomplish in this posture? What does my anatomy allow? What creates greater stability, freedom or ease? And when might a different choice serve me better?
Our time in the yoga “lab” in a small group of people gives us the opportunity to explore these questions in our bodies that have different ages, injuries and stories.
We will also take our practice to the floor, introducing gentle somatic movement and practices that address fascia and connective tissue while noticing what changes when effort is reduced and awareness becomes more refined slowing things downnnn.
Balancing the physical practice, we begin exploring yoga beyond asana: its history, philosophical roots and why it can be the way you live your life every day!
The Chakras, Koshas and Vayus will be introduced as different lenses through which we can understand the layered human experience from the physical body to breath, energy, thought and awareness. We will also begin to explore the Eight Limbs of Yoga, not simply as a list to memorize, but as an interconnected framework for practice and daily life.
This month will be about building a foundation, not only beneath our feet, but beneath our understanding of how “fully” yoga is present everywhere. These teachings set the groundwork for a practice that is reflective, inviting to everyone, integrated and rooted in both tradition and lived experience ~ live life now.
Our physical practice moves into standing forward folds, examining the relationship among the pelvis, spine, legs, gravity and breath. We'll explore how anatomy influences these shapes and how stability, range of motion and our nervous-system”imprints” can change the experience of a posture.
Each participant will also begin looking more deeply at an individual standing posture, researching its anatomy, intention, possibilities and benefits, sharing those discoveries with the group. This begins an important transition from simply doing yoga to becoming curious about why we do what we do and various options!
Our philosophical inquiry deepens through the Yamas and Niyamas, the ethical foundations of yoga and the way we treat ourselves and others off the mat and in our lives. Rather than treating these teachings as ancient concepts, we will consider how they might help us navigate our relationships, choices, habits and inner dialogue today.
We continue inward through Svadhisthana Chakra and Pranamaya Kosha, exploring the intersection of movement, breath, energy and emotional experience.
Through Apana and Samana Vayu, we'll examine the relationship between letting go and taking in … the digestion and assimilation of food and of life’s experiences.
We will also begin teasing apart the Bandhas, particularly Mula Bandha, exploring them experientially rather than simply defining them: What happens when we engage? When do we need stability? When might too much holding get in the way? How can the Bandhas influence both structural support and the movement of energy?
Alignment becomes something larger here—not perfection in a pose, but greater awareness of how we relate, respond and choose.Asana practice will be paired with an in-depth study of the Yamas and Niyamas, exploring how these ethical foundations can be consciously aligned with our daily lives, offering practical guidance for personal reflection and choice-making.
Weekend 3: Stability, Right Effort + Expansion Be.Fluid
As we understand our foundations, we can begin to move within and thru them.
This weekend explores the conversation between stability and mobility, effort and ease, grounding and expansion through standing balances, flowing movement ( vinyasa ) and a gradual progression toward gentle backbends.
Balance becomes our laboratory.
What actually keeps us upright? What happens when we wobble? How do vision, the feet, the vestibular system and proprioception contribute and what happens internally when balance becomes uncertain?
We will explore proprioception and interoception, developing our ability both to sense where the body is in space and to notice what is happening within it. We will return to the Bandhas and investigate how they may contribute to stability without rigidity and buoyancy without unnecessary effort as we move up the body.
Our energetic exploration moves to Manipura, the Third Chakra, with its themes of agency, discernment, transformation and our evolving relationship with self.
We will continue weaving the Koshas and Vayus into our understanding, considering digestion as more than a physical process: How do we digest experience? What do we assimilate? What do we hold onto? What are we ready to release?
Five pranayama practices will be introduced and refined, allowing us to experience breath not simply as something that accompanies movement, but as practices that influence our energy, nervous systems and state of mind.
As we move further through the Eight Limbs, we begin exploring the bridge from outward practice toward inward attention: breath regulation, where we are in space, concentration and presence.
We discover that steadiness doesn't require stillness and that expansion doesn't require force, it’s all about right effort :) In these months we will have explored:
Muladhara ~ Root Chakra From grounding toward belonging. Foundation • Stability • Safety • Trust
Svadhisthana ~ Sacral Chakra From stability toward relationship and flow. Movement • Feeling • Creativity • Adaptability
Manipura ~ Solar Plexus Chakra From feeling toward agency and transformation. Discernment • Will • Confidence • Right Effort
Anahata ~ Heart Chakra Honoring the Integration, Reflection + The Heart of Practice
Weekend 4: Be.Breathed
During our final weekend, we land in the heart.
The physical practice turns towards the floor and postures being quieter forms of movement, giving us an opportunity to soften effort, refine awareness and notice what becomes perceptible when we stop trying to accomplish quite so much.
Here, breath becomes something we learn to listen to.
Our energetic exploration moves to Anahata, the Heart Chakra, and the relationship between me and we and the ongoing balance between our simple and unique individual needs and our connection to others.
We continue weaving together the Koshas, Vayus, breath, anatomy and philosophy, recognizing that these are not separate subjects to master but different ways of understanding the same human experience.
We return to where we began: inquiry.
~ What do I understand differently about my body?
~ What have I noticed about my mind?
~ What has changed in the way I practice?
~ What teachings have followed me off the mat?
And what am I curious about now? Making space to recognize what has taken root and what is still unfolding. ——————————-
