If your spirit had a voice (well, it does – but you know what we mean…), what would it say?
If you’ve always wanted to declutter your mind and find a way to let the message of your soul shine through, we highly recommend joining Seane Corn at Alluem Yoga for a week dedicated to cultivating personal strengths as a yogi, developing a strong and confident voice, and discovering how to turn a simple class or personal practice into an inspirational and deeply moving experience.
Can’t get out of work all week? We get it, and we’ve totally got you covered with lots of other opportunities. Check them out right here, from pelvic power to MERMAID yoga!
ALL WEEK LONG
Spirit Speak: Turning Your Yoga Class Into a Journey of the Soul with Seane Corn
$795 Tuition for Monday to Friday at Alluem Yoga in Cranford, NJ
This very special 5-day immersion, open to yoga teachers and seasoned practitioners, is about cultivating personal strengths as a yogi, developing a strong and confident voice, and how to turn a simple class or personal practice into a soul-inspiring experience. All practitioners are taught the mechanics: alignment, sequencing, asana, pranayama, meditation – the tradition and rich history of yoga. Yet, they are often left yearning for a way to bring themselves, and later their students, into a place of deep surrender, prayer and intentional energetic shifts. With Seane’s guidance, we’ll explore our own personal practice and connection to source and how to then invite Spirit into the body/mind experience, incorporate ritual, and realize how to speak authentically from the heart as a way to inspire, inform and motivate our practice or class. To conclude the immersion, you will receive five sequences to practice and teach as well as unique prayers written by Seane, that you are free to use and explore in your own teaching and practice.
