Alphazone  Yoga Pilates & Meditation
This extensive program, designed by Anusara Yoga founder, John Friend, takes each participant on a powerful journey into the full depth and spectrum of the practice, including meditation, pranayama, yoga history and philosophy, ancient text study, therapeutics and asana. Through meticulous
presentation and exploration of Anusara Yoga’s fundamental teachings, both philosophical and practical, the Immersion experience makes it possible for students to completely imbibe
the lessons on every level: body, mind and heart.
Whether you are a student seeking to learn more or an aspiring Anusara Yoga teacher, the Immersion offers a unique opportunity to refine your practice and deepen your knowledge in a profound way. It is open to any student wanting to enrich their practice and is also a required prerequisite for any student wishing to move on to an official Anusara Yoga Teacher Training.
This unique Immersion course will be taught in 3 parts over a 7-month span and will follow the Celtic calendar honouring the Celtic festivals of SAMHAIN, IMBOLIC and BELTAIN. Each part consists of 5 days (Wed - Sun) of approximately 7 hours each day totaling 33.5 hours per week and 100 hours in total. This programme is designed to give an ideal amount of time between sessions to absorb the in-depth studies, practice, contemplations and
understandings.
