Embodied Asana:
A Journey Through the Koshas
with Christina Fornaciari
15hr self-guided online course
Yoga is a deep and vast system that touches into every aspect of our being, visible and invisible, conscious and unconscious. The physicality of yoga is just one component, and for many practitioners it is the doorway to approaching the transformative power of yoga in cultivating deeper self-awareness, compassion, and equanimity.
The Pancha Koshas (Pañca meaning 'five', and Kośa meaning 'sheath' or 'layer' in Sanskrit) provide a useful map for understanding and integrating the layers of our being including the physical, energetic, mental/emotional, intuitive, and blissful layers. This 15 hour course connects the framework of the koshas with yoga āsana (postures, the physical practices of yoga) to support a yoga practice that is embodied from the inside-out.
In addition to examining each of the five koshas in depth, we explore the primary categories of asanas (standing poses, forward folds, twists, backbends, and inversions), the subtleties of alignment and attitude, meditation techniques, subtle body maps, anatomy, yoga philosophy and contemplative practices that will deepen and expand your yogic toolbox. Each module blends lecture, experiential learning, awareness exercises, meditation practice, longform yoga asana practices, optional homework assignments, and guidelines for integrating the content into daily practice. The course is self-paced with access for one year. Yoga teachers and curious students alike will benefit. At least one year of yoga practice is encouraged prior to enrolling in the course.
This course counts as 15 hours towards Laughing River Yoga's 300hr Teacher Training Program.

"In the true sense of embodiment, this intensive program was an invitation to dive so much deeper than I expected, allowing me to explore my connection with body, mind and spirit at a whole new level"
"I found myself having many aha moments over the course of the program, and the wisdom and teachings you shared reinvigorated my asana practice."
"The course content was creative, meticulously planned, highly organized, and easy to follow. This class helped transition yoga for me from being a physical practice to one that is deeply nourishing for the soul. I couldn’t recommend it more!"
