200-hr Teacher Training in Chileby Manuel FernandezA Bilingual English-Spanish 200-hr Yoga Teachers' Training Program with International Certification in Chile There will be a Level One retreat this 12-25 January 2013 in Santiago, Chile. The program will be a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance, so participants can go for the 200-hr Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) status if they wish, after completing all requirements. Everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of their Spanish fluency, as all subjects will be taught both in English and Spanish. We have invited prestigious international teachers from the Himalayan Yoga Tradition to facilitate this retreat. Our primary faculty will be Peter Fabian, a Physical Therapist, Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner, and E-RYT500 yoga teacher from California, USA, who did intense sadhana and was a Resident and Teaching Faculty for several years at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama ashram in Rishikesh, India, including the HYT-TTP and Dhyana Gurukulam Programs. You can learn more about his work at peterfabian.com/ . We are also expecting the visit of Mokshadeva Randall Krause, E-RYT500. Randall became an initiate of the Himalayan Yoga Meditation Tradition in 1988, and has studied with Swami Veda Bharati and other teachers of the Tradition both in India and North America since that time. He is a member of the Senior Faculty and a Senior Mentor of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition Teacher Training Program. Randall is also an attorney and the founder and Director of Himalayan Yoga Meditation-- Los Angeles (Hym-la). You can learn more about his work at www.hymla.com . And Manuel Fernandez ("Manu"), E-RYT500, will be the local organizer and translator. To learn more about the Himalayan Yoga Tradition, its philosophy, teachings, and techniques, read the following article: www.hytchile.org/yoga-for-wellness-in-the-himalayan-yoga-tradition. Both for those who need the RYT 200 and for those who are not interested in international accreditation, this two-week retreat in the Himalayan Tradition, in which one will learn hatha yoga prana vidya or yoga with breath awareness, with smooth and meditative movements according to one's capacity, suitable for people of all ages and most conditions, will offer a unique opportunity for advancing our work toward personal and spiritual unfoldment. For the subjects to be reviewed during the retreat and more details on the retreat's daily schedule, see: www.hytchile.org/subjects-to-be-reviewed-and-daily-schedule-during-the-level-one-hyt-ttp-retreat-in-chile. After the retreat is over, each person is supervised directly or via Internet by a mentor during the following year to complete the homework, submit written assignments, and teaching practice credit hours so he or she can better assimilate and deepen the teachings and experiences received during the retreat, be eligible for the diploma, and, if wished, request the Yoga Alliance certification. During that year the participant also has the right to access a precious reading and audio material from the Himalayan Tradition uploaded to a private website. Please note that most of the reading and audio resources will be in English. Chile constitutes an ideal site for holding Spanish bilingual TTP retreats because of its location in South America, surrounded by Spanish-speaking countries and its flourishing economy, which makes it a safe, clean, and enjoyable place to visit. The retreat will take place at the Center Mahamudra - Tradición Yoga Himalayo in Santiago, Chile. The retreat will be non-residential, so students who are not from Santiago will have to find a place where to sleep and eat. Please contact the organizers to arrange housing in the neighborhood. The cost of tuition for the 200-hr program in Chile will include all courses taught at the retreat and, after the retreat, access to the TTP private website resources and the one-year mentoring. For the cost of the tuition see www.hytchile.org/costs-and-forms-of-payment. Getting to know Chile Chile offers very interesting attractions to the visitors who would like to extend their stay and do some sightseeing within Chile. For example, Rapa Nui (Eastern Island), with its famous and mysterious Moai is part of Chile—and so is the Robinson Crusoe island. In northern Chile is the fascinating Atacama Desert, the driest in the world and with the most pristine skies and impressive starred nights, including the exotic San Pedro de Atacama village and the high altitude Aymara native enclaves and natural geysers. In southern Chile one can enjoy the gorgeous lake and cold rainforest district and the haunted island of Chiloé, and further south is Patagonia, the celebrated Torres del Paine, Magellan Strait, Cape Horn, and Antarctica. Even if one cannot travel far from Santiago, January is a pleasant California-like summer weather and there are beautiful beaches only an hour and a half drive from Santiago. Santiago is also at the foothills of the Andes mountain range and one can go to solitary hot springs and other mountain attractions only a 45-minute drive from Santiago. Also in Santiago and the nearby port city of Valparaíso, one can visit the famous houses of poet Pablo Neruda, go to charming and bohemian cafes, enjoying the artistic and intellectual life of the place. And for those who wish quiet spiritual inspiration during the Chilean visit, there is a mystical, alternative valley, El Cajón del Maipo, only a 30-minute drive from Santiago, and the magic Elqui Valley, with several ashrams and alternative communities, only a five and a half hour drive from Santiago.
