Yoga Teacher Trainings

Interested in taking a Yoga Teacher Training with me? If so, join me at The Embodied Path Yoga where we offer high quality trainings, workshops and events!

At The Embodied Path Yoga we turn toward the inherent intelligence of the body.  We offer yoga teacher trainings and workshops to create space for community, dedicated  practice, self-inquiry, deep inner resource and equanimity.

 

To address all of the layers of the body and self, we aim to build containers for our healing in community, develop the discipline that comes with focused curiosity and practice, (re)turn inward through self-inquiry, and find the inner contentment that is our birthright. We start by recognizing that we are already whole, and from this perspective we investigate the embodied experience to realize or remember, layer by layer, that already present wholeness.  

 

We draw from yoga, breath, yoga therapy, trauma informed practices, physiology, non-dual Tantra (The Recognition School), self-Inquiry, restorative practices, Yoga Nidra and life itself.  We address the physical body, emotional body, and subtle body with equal care and agency.  We are honored to walk this path with you!

KIND WORDS

"Working with Dora through one-on-one coaching and learning iRest through her 6 week meditation course has tremendously impacted my life. Working with Dora has changed the way that I see my life, the way that I respond to things in my life, and the way that I want to live my life moving forward. 

 

I suffered from PTSD after a severe TBI and I battle multiple autoimmune diseases. I started working with Dora because I needed to shift my mindset and I needed to find peace and calm in my life. Dora has helped me to do this in such a tremendous way. I am so grateful that Dora was brought into my life and that I’ve had the opportunity to be guided by her wisdom and knowledge. 

 

iRest meditation has helped me to manage and deal with my health challenges, and virtually eliminate major stress and anxiety. The one-on-one coaching and iRest practice has helped me to find my centre again. My home within myself. I no longer search outside of myself for happiness or safety. 

 

I have worked with multiple therapy modalities and have done over a year of talk therapy and I must say that working with Dora and practicing iRest meditation has been the best form of therapy I have ever experienced."
