YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI & EMBODIED VEDIC PHILOSOPHY

The Yoga Sutras – the classical Text on Yoga and an ancient manual on mental health – is one of the most inspiring texts I know. It has accompanied me in my life and has given my Yoga Practice the necessary depth to be truly healing and transformative. It isn’t always easy to understand, or apply to our individual needs, and Yoga Teacher Trainings aren’t always covering it in any great detail. So I would like to help you understand this fantastic gem of wisdom. 

This course is a combination of live classes (on zoom) and recorded content that you can use additionally. 

If you are a Yoga Teacher: This course is registered with Yoga Alliance and counts for 60 hours continuing Education.

THE LITTLE SCHOOL OF HAPPINESS

An online learning platform with courses about the Vedic Teachings:

Understanding Yoga and building a home practice

In nine weeks I will guide you toward not only building a Yoga sequence that will sustain you for a very long time, but also toward understanding Yoga from its original basis – the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita. In addition, I will take you on a journey through the chakras, which will help you in your own personal healing and transformation.

Embodied Philosophy and Vedic Counselling

This is a comprehensive course aimed at Yoga Teachers, coaches and therapists as well as anyone with a deep interest in Vedic Philosophies. Here, you can get an understanding of the true potential that unfolds for us when we see the Vedic scriptures as a holistic science and apply them to our everyday life instead of limiting ourselves to just one aspects of their teachings. From the basic concepts of time, consciousness and nature, to understanding the language of the soul in form of mythology and symbolism, to practical experiences and practices, we can expect the potential for deep transformation for ourselves and our clients.

Ayurveda (not just) for Yoga Teachers

You will learn all of the underlying elements of Ayurveda so you can understand the human body in its holistic sense. After having understood the basics, we can apply them in our own daily life, in simple, practical ways. Learn how to apply all of the principles of Ayurveda to your own Yoga practice as well as to your work as a Yoga Teacher.

The Dare To Shine Mentorship Program

With this program, you will get access to all online courses as well as my personal guidance. You will receive a Vedic Astrology reading, an Ayurvedic Consultation and personalised practices, as well as personal guidance on Vedic Philosophy. If you wish, this course can also be certified for professional development.

What previous students had to say:

„I started Sandra‘s course (the Dare to Shine Program) because I was in the middle of a period of soulsearching and a longing for authenticity, especially in the work that I do (as a play therapist)… I was especially blown away by some of the insights that came through in the reflection exercises. I loved every minute of it.“
