THE LIVING PRACTICE

There is a moment in practice when something shifts. Not a new posture. Not a flexibility you did not have before. It is the feeling that the body, the breath and your attention have finally arrived in the same place. The movement stops being mechanical. It starts to speak.

This training is for that. A quarter century of practice, shaped by the precision of Maty Ezraty and the body intelligence of Dona Holleman, two women who encouraged me to teach and trusted me to do it. We begin where every real teaching begins: in your own practice.

How it works

Every session is built around where you are: your practice, your questions, your body. Because we work one to one, I can see what you are ready for, and we stay with what needs attention. We start slowly, build from the base, listen, pay attention and investigate. Our pedagogy

One live session a week, online, of three hours. You choose your rhythm, in Central European time:

• Friday evening, 17:30 to 20:30, or Saturday morning, 09:00 to 12:00
• Each session: asana class (1 hour), deepening workshop (1 hour 30), questions and answers (30 minutes)

The 200 hours

• 80 hours live with Maray: asana practice, deepening workshops and a closing session
• 25 hours of Anatomy and Biomechanics: recorded classes
• 25 hours of Philosophy and the Subtle Body: recorded classes, including pranayama, bandhas and mantras
• 25 hours of Teaching: recorded classes, including non-violent communication and meditation
• 30 hours of personal work: home practice, journaling and study
• 15 hours of Practicum: you teach your own course, 15 classes of one hour, with personal feedback

The study material is in English. Our sessions can be in English, French or Spanish.

By the end

• You will know the practice from the inside, with a different sense than before.
• You will have more confidence in your practice, and later in your teaching, if you decide to teach.
• You will have taught 15 classes, with guidance to answer your questions and clear your doubts.
• You will have been mentored, with real support and close follow-up throughout your process.

Who it is for

• If you want to teach, and have never taught a class, but feel it is time.
• If you already teach, from vinyasa, power yoga or any style rooted in this tradition, and want to understand the source.
• If you want to go deeper, and your weekly classes no longer answer your questions. You do not need to want to teach.

You do not need to be advanced. You need to be committed.

Questions

Can I do this while working? Yes. The weekly session is at a fixed time, and the rest of the study is yours to place in your week. If a week is difficult, we move the session.

How do I enroll? We begin with a conversation of 30 minutes, online, to see together if this path is right for you. If it feels right for both of us, we choose your rhythm and your start date.
