“You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
- Rumi
This inspiring and practical training is for students and teachers wishing to wake up to the map of their subtle energetic body in order to bring a whole new dimension of awareness and awe to their teaching and life.
This training is an introduction to Tantra yoga and embodied spirituality, a path of celebrating flesh and breath as gateways to the divine. A path of celebrating the divine feminine power of Shakti ~ creative life energy.
In this module you’re invited to realise our primary agenda as yoga practitioners is in service to the flow of prana - the underlying intelligence behind all movement and all life.
It would be a great pleasure to have you join us for this illuminating journey into inner yoga.
Sign up by June 30 to receive a FREE Cycle of Life yoga mat (designed by Lara), valued at $120
THE PREMISE
To realise yoga asana as a profound opportunity to wake up to the underlying reality that we are so much more than what we can see with our outer-seeing eyes. To realise that we are a part of a vast field of intelligence that creates us and sustains us, and that we will one day be folded back into.
This is not a training only about technical outer alignment, but also to reconnect to the natural inner alignment that exists when we attune to the currents of energy that underlie all movement - from the way we sit and stand, to the way a tree grows and the way the whole universe turns on its axis.
the invitation
This training is an invocation to shift our approach away from teaching or practicing fixed and static ‘poses’ and instead to wake up to the living, dancing, shape shifting nature of spanda and shakti which animates the inner world of yoga asana.
The encouragement is there for you to realise that there are no straight lines in nature. Nothing is ever standing still - everything is in a state of living vinyasa, of ever-evolving flow and fluctuation.
My invitation to you as a student and teacher of yoga is to embody this flow of grace and nature as you connect to your breath and move through your practice and your life.
what you’ll receive
To realise the meeting point between quantum physics and yoga - to be able to experience the underlying energetic field that unifies and underlies all life forms, via the philosophy and methodology of the pancha vayus.
To learn about the history of yoga and the evolution of vinyasa as a branch of Tantra Yoga. To understand what really IS Yoga? What is spirituality? How can our practice be a bridge between the physical and the metaphyscial?
Understanding the significance of the breath and bandhas when cueing inner alignment and energetics.
To learn about the cycles and seasons of the elemental body through the map of the tattvas and the chakras.
To realise every asana as a ‘full body mudra’ through the lens and methodology of Prana Vinyasa, with a profound capacity to shift our awareness and invite us into moving meditation and flow-state consciousness.
To understand the map of the koshas as both teacher and student, from physical outer body, to energetic, emotional, psychic and spiritual dimensions of Self.
Through this training you’re invited to feel yoga asana as a profound opportunity to relate with the natural world, where you start to move like the body has no edges and eventually slip into the unbroken flow of presence.
From this place you might feel as if you are connected to the infinite source of energy around and inside you, as if ‘the posture never ends’… and each movement is constantly evolving from the outer (macrocosm) to inner (microcosm), and then the inner (human) to outer (world).
From that space, the energy of the universe will resonate through your bones and be carried on your voice, creating a potent holding environment for transformation.

Testimonials
“The Body Poetry Yoga Teacher Training SPANDA was the most extraordinary experience. I now see yoga in a much different light. I have always known that there is a lot more to the poses than just the physical aspect but have never really understood how to teach it. Lara generously puts together a training that easily explains the energetics and philosophy, giving us the language and understanding to teach what we all feel so deeply inside to be true but have not had the words…”
~ Catherine Pampallis, yoga teacher & embodiment coach
“I did the amazing Body Poetry Spanda training online and truly cannot recommend enough! It was an incredible opportunity to dive deeply into the subtle body and to experience feeling the practise through these energetic layers and in turn how to share with others. Lara’s complete devotion and love of this practice shines in all the generous, creative and in depth content and she holds the space for sharing it all with so much care and support. I am so grateful the course was online as it meant I could do the training from a different country and at times that worked for me. Thank you Lara, I am so look forward to weaving these transformative teachings into my own practice and classes and look forward to joining you for more explorations!”
~ Paula, Yoga Teacher
