Level 2 trainings invite Level 1 graduates and experienced yoga teachers/practitioners to come together and train intensively with Tribes most experienced teacher trainers. The level 2 trainings cover 300 hours of study time. If you have already completed a 200hr level 1 training with any registered school you will receive a 500hr training certificate on completion. If you are an experienced pratitioner with no level 1 certificate you will recieve a 300hr certification.

The trainings introduce a series of advanced yogic techniques and disciplines to support transformation, spiritual growth and personal development.  There is an emphasis to build on sensitivity and raise ones threshold of perception to a higher level to be able to explore and experience the subtle bodies and different levels of consciousness. 

During the training focus is on deepening and strengthening ourselves as yoga practitioners and yoga teachers. Rather than accumalating more information this training is based on experimentation, exploration, experience and practice...... our primary objective is to put theory into practice.

"Sometimes we know what is good for us yet we continue to oppose the flow of our Being. For many of us simple changes in diet, inclusion of more pranayama & meditation in our self practice, a daily dose of headstands , handstands and other sublimation practices  etc could make all the difference in our physical , emotional and mental well-being. These issues and many others will be addressed on the level 2 TTC"

This is the perfect opportuntiy to assess your own personal development and then figure out what action or changes will be most beneficial for you to establish more balance and harmony in your practice and lifestyle.

This training aims to infuse you with new aspiration and inspiration so you can advance in your understanding, experience and expression of yourself......... Only then can you be of real service to your students and to the world.

Pre-requisite
The level 2 is intensive with a challenging 6 days per week schedule. The asana, pranayama, meditation and other yoga disciplines in the training are only suitable for yoga practitioners who already have a regular practice and feel that they are emotionally, physically and mentally prepared to go to a deeper level of self exploration. 

We expect a high level of commitment and maturity from everybody who wants to participate in this level 2 training. You can measure your commitment on the basis of whether you think you can apply yourself to the training with 100% focus and your maturity by what extent you are already able to express a yogic attitude of sensitivity, honesty, openness, equanimity, acceptance and self discipline.

This is definitely not a yoga holiday or retreat. This is an integral training for advanced students who want to challenge both their body and mind.

All trainees should have an established self practice which includes a balance of asana, pranayama, and meditation.

Frequently Asked Questions

THE PRACTICES
Asana
The morning sessions will include advanced asana, pranayama and meditation practices. Many of the morning asana sessions will be taught in an ashtanga vinyasa style. As well as the traditional full primary and modified intermediate practices of ashtanga there will also be vinyasa flow classes to introduce a more creative experience of asanas and sequencing. Some morning asana practices will be in traditionally Hatha yoga style where we hold postures for longer and focus on the energectic flow and chakra activation

During the training arm balancing, jump throughs and other more complex aspects of asana practice will be explored giving trainees an additional challenge to open and develop the body and mind in new ways.

We teach specific focuses to increase sensitivity and awareness, integrating and illustrating the impact and application of the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga.

     

Meditation
Practices will include a combination of concentration techniques, pratyahara techniques and meditations such as Trataka, Hang sa kriya, Yoga Nidra, Antar Mauna (inner silence), Anapanasati, so-ham meditation and prana vidya 

All trainees must be comfortable ' sitting ' for long periods of meditation and pranayama.
(sitting can be in any position with the support of props or cushions if necessary as long as the spine is vertical)

Pranayama
1hr Pranayama sessions will be performed in the morning practices. We will use various traditional pranayama techniques to explore the possibility of directing prana with specific intent and purpose.

Kriyas & Purification program
Purification is considered a very important aspect of yoga pracice. The kriyas on the training will be a mix of basic and intermediate practices
As well as 2 one day fasts we will also be facilitating the Ohsawa No. 7 Detox which is a purificationeating regime of whole grains only. This will take place from the 2nd monday for 10 days.
Participating in the purification practices is NOT compulsory. If you feel the fasting or the 10 day Oshawa is not suitable for you please let us know in advance.

Conscious Eating & Yogic Diet
As yoga practitioners purity and energy management are both important aspects of our daily living. The food we eat has a dramatic inpact, positive or negative, on all levels of our being depending on what and how we eat.  During the training we will develop a foundation of knowledge and understanding that will  give us the discipline and focus to make the necessary changes in our personal diet and nutiriton to support our spiritual evolution.

Self Practice
Saturday mornings are exclusively for self practice in which trainees have the time to integrate the weeks teachings into their own style of practice with teachers on hand to assist.

               

Adjustment workshops
Deepening our understanding of and the application of adjustments under the collective expertise of the Tribe teachers.

Trainees will study and practice the art of assisting and adjusting in such a way that their understanding, articulation and teaching of postures becomes a transmission of confidence and efficiency.

Experiential studies of the chakras, prana and the subtle bodies
We will utilise various techniques and practices to heighten our sensitivity and level of perception so that we can connect to, experience and become more sensitive to our subtle bodies, chakras, pranic flows and different levels of consciousness. 

Massage & Healing workshops
These workshops allow us to build greater sensitivity and feeling for movement and touch as well as being a great opportunity to relax, tune in and nurture personal and group energy.

 

Karma Yoga
In Austria we invite trainees to embrace the spirit of Karma Yoga and give a little bit of their time and energy by signing up to do light jobs that will help to keep the yoga space comfortable for everyone and the venue running smoothly. Jobs include preparing meals, gardening, recycling, chopping wood, sweeping the shala floors and other light work. Karma Yoga involves a commitment of 4-8 hours per week.
In India karma yoga could include beach clean up, shala tidy up, tending to the shrine.

Trainee Lecturing & Teaching Asana
Trainess will each be invited to prepare and teach a 60-90 minute lecture of their choice and teach a 60 minute asana class. Group feedback will be given at the end of each teaching which in our experience is supportive to both the growth and learning of all present.

Mouna
The practice of mouna (silence) will be observed on a daily basis until the end of the morning pratice.  Some breakasts will also be in silence. There will be two full days of 'practical' silence during the one month of training.

Group Sharing
As we are all experienced teachers or yoga practitioners the schedule allocates ample time to share our collective ideas, skills & experiences, study issues etc.
