the conquering lion yoga teacher training program maintains that the highest spiritual practice is the cultivation of the altruistic intention to attain enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. inspired by this highest objective, the program unfolds accordingly, allowing each participant a profound understanding of their purpose here
on earth and providing them with all the tools necessary to successfully
inact that understanding.
this ground-breaking teacher-training program reunites two magnificent
traditions that were once one: the indian yoga tradition of asana, vinyasa and bhakti and the tibetan yoga tradition of renunciation
and bodhichitta, grounded in correct worldview. this lineage split with a muslim invasion, roughly 1000 years ago, in northern india, causing two different approaches to develop. this separation persists to this day. by bringing the two lineages together we are able to get the best of both: the physical and mental practices happen simultaneously, hastening the practitioner's evolution into a fully enlightened being.
using the finest translations of the world's oldest yoga scriptures and
learning first-hand from some of the world's foremost authorities on yoga philosophy, sanskrit, asana, assists, prana, nadis, mantra, cakras and meditation, the kelly morris teacher training program offers the most comprehensive, expert training available to become a great teacher and great practitioner.
faculty includes the venerable lama sumati marut (phd. in asian philosophy, professor emeritus of religious studies at university of california riverside and author of several books), ms. kimberley veenhof (executive director of the yoga studies institute), mr. douglas veenhof (an author and award-winning journalist whose biography of theos bernard, an american yoga pioneer and the first westerner to be invited to study buddhism in lhasa will be published by doubleday in 2008) and mr. john brady (executive director of the asian classics institute), among esteemed others.
the program is kept very small, in order to insure that each participant
becomes the best teacher/practitioner that he or she can possibly be.
each one is taught everything they need to know in order to end their own suffering and how to teach others to do the same. apprenticeships with kelly are available after graduation.
may our shared aspirations of kindness, compassion and peace be realized
in this life time. may all beings everywhere be free from suffering and be happy!
