About this Module:

Join Devon Sweeney, E-RYT 500 and Drake Unruh for a comprehensive exploration into the transformational power of movement and embodiment through yoga and other somatic tools.

This 40 hour immersion will develop the many dimensions of embodiment as a tool for learning to feel when we are in the right place. Teachers and practitioners will learn how to sense, identify, and address different states of the nervous system in their own body and with their loved ones and students. True energetic alignment is accessed when we learn to live and practice through the lens of movement alchemy. We will explore the application of balancing or supportive practices to our bodies and the bodies of our lives to cultivate new behaviors, new emotional pathways, and remember our innate capacity to support ourselves. This teacher training encompasses theories of bodily awareness in the context of somatics, how to facilitate embodiment, saftey, and connection in all bodies, and a deep emphasis on the transformative power of knowing oneself at all levels, from the physical to the subtle body. This is a one of a kind module informed by Devon’s direct apprenticeship with Shiva Rea since 2008, Shaiva Tantra studies, and religious and her career as a bodywork therapist over the last decade. Drake will support and lead multiple TRE (Tremor Release Exercise) sessions in both weekends.
