5 Elements Yin & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
50 HOURS YACEP TEACHER TRAINING
Exploring the 5 Elements from a Traditional Chinese Medicine Background
Join internationally celebrated Yin & Dharma teacher Kali Basman on the journey back to the Self.
This Yin & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training focuses on hands-on, anatomical, structural, and energetic based practices for restoration of the body mind. Blending Buddhist Concepts with the Eight Limbs of Yoga, we’ll venture through a journey of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Five Element Theory.
The purpose of retreat & training life is deepening the understanding of your practice through intensive contemplation and somatic integration into one’s system and stream, in a sanctuarious setting where stillness and space may seep into our being. Withdrawn to unfurl the most potent places in the self, undisturbed by normative patterns, the mind has the opportunity to turn inward and the body to explore the energetics of the inner world.
“Kali’s teachings have awakened the energy that had been buried unknown to me for so many years of my life and the fire within has been ignited to give and to offer to others.”
– EARTH – WATER – FIRE – METAL – WOOD –
Grounded in the Five Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, each day will be dedicated to a deep exploration of the Elements.
Our work together as Sangha, spiritual community, will be within the domain of Yin Yoga and will contribute to your continuing education as a Yoga practitioner, inquisitor, and/or facilitator. We will touch on the realms of resetting the nervous system, healing from past traumas, dissolving tensions, increasing musculoskeletal resiliency, strengthening joint stability, and cultivating elasticity in the body mind. We use embodied and informed anatomy and alignment, scientific bases for sequencing, and psychological self inquiry grounded in Buddhist practices.

Mindfulness modules, Yoga Nidras, Restorative Practices, and Teaching Practicums will be segmented throughout the evenings.
Each day will offer Yin/Restorative practices for your own embodied experience, as well as extensive teaching practicums to find your authentic voice as a space holder and mindful movement facilitator.
A specific focus on Pratyahara – the Great Withdrawal – will be encouraged by drawing the boundaries around retreat life to train in the principles of stillness, spaciousness, and quietude. Disconnecting from normative social contexts and devices is recommended during our time together to allow the nervous system to enter the deep folds of rich restoration.
In the serenity of the jungle, we’ll turn off all our devices and go online with our hearts, breath, and practice.
