Chinnamasta's advanced Trilogy Therapy Teaching curriculum is focused on the Trilogy of yogic, āyurvedic and tantrik teachings covering the multi-dimensional body. Most courses can be taken as a stand alone, though the depth of these teachings are truly experienced by dedicated study over the course of time integrating all three areas of this Trilogy.
The fruit of your Sādhana is your Seva to the world
The thread that runs throughout the Trilogy Teachings is your own sādhana. Living a teaching means integrating and embodying the teaching and developing personal experience of how the teaching challenges and transformed you. Through your own sādhana, you become sensitive to your own needs to self-regulate and how to maintain a dynamic balance. This enables you to share these wisdom teachings from a place of truth, integrity and compassion.
The courses are detailed, practical and profound. Most are are offered as self-paced modules with personal live support from Chinnamasta. All hours of the modules are applicable to your Yoga Therapy Certification / Āyurvedic Yoga Therapy Certification as per IAYT, NAMA and Inner Peace Yoga Therapy, where Chinnamasta teaches on the faculty of the 800 hr certified yoga therapy program.
If you have questions about any of the courses please email Chinnamasta

STRUCTURAL YOGA THERAPY ™ METHOD
|
Structural Yoga™ is a form of classical yoga that allows teachers to adapt yoga to individual needs and provide teachings that translate off the mat into daily life. Structural Yoga™ instructors are trained to teach classes to people with a broad spectrum of needs, from those able to participate in traditional yoga classes to those with movement restriction, injuries or health challenges who require modifications and a very compassionate, healing approach. Structural Yoga™ relies on a deep respect for the body's innate capacity for safe, healthy movement and healing. This translates to a way of teaching that invites the body to find its own optimal way of moving and building strength, without the use of many props or hands-on corrections that might ultimately hinder self-awareness and the slow, careful development of the muscle structures that are needed to develop a full yoga practice. Structural Yoga students are also gently invited to discover their own yogic path that can carry them through personal challenges, on a path of spiritual growth and transformation. This program is for Yoga Teachers with a minimum of 200 hours certification and for certified Yoga Therapists who wish to expand their understanding about Structural Yoga Therapy. |

Patañjali Yoga Sūtras Chapter I and II
These classes offer an opportunity to ground yourself in your personal practice and dive deep into the philosophical backbone of Yoga as offered by the sage Shri Patañjali.
In these two modules of Sādhana Pada and Samādhi Pada Chinnamasta explores the threads of wisdom of Shri Patañjali offering a profound and view integrating Yoga, Āyurveda and Tantra.
Chapter II, Sādhanā pada, offers you the foundation to ground yourself in your personal spiritual practice on and off the mat, establishing an ethical/ dharmic way of living.
Patañjali offers you step by step strands of wisdom, all opportunities to reflect within the intimacy of your own heart space, on their hidden meanings and how this relates to your daily life and your yoga in action in the world.
Chapter I, Samādhi Pada is a chapter offering wisdom teachings for the spiritual seeker who is already established in a daily sādhanā. This chapter focusses on the deepening of your understanding and experience of the steps that lead to and reflect a state of Being absorbed in Spirit.
For the two modules we use the translation of the sūtras as rended by Mukunda Stiles. His rendition is one that views Patañjali as a Bhakti - a lover of God/Goddess and invites the seeker to rest the mind and drop into the compassionate heart space, cultivating awareness and contemplating Spirit.

- Weekly homework to reflect upon and integrate within the personal sādhana
