4-Day Therapeutic Wisdom Training with Doug Keller

The key to continued health is the same as key to healthy aging: it lies in the fascia, which is the medium by which the body maintains and rejuvenates itself.

Although the yogis did not have the language or science of fascia at hand, the whole project of the hatha yogis, as inspired by the philosophy of Prana in the Upanishads and tantric philosophy, centered around the health of the fascia, and removing ‘blocks’ to the flow of Prana through the nadis.

This flow of consciousness through the nadis contained within the fascia is key to healthy functioning on all levels, as well as the body’s capacity to renew itself and reduce inflammatory conditions that come with age. Understood in this way, hatha yoga is about ‘fascial fitness’ in a very broad way.

In this 20-hour training we’ll explore fascial fitness and healthy aging in yogic terms, and in a practical way that brings new clarity and focus to your practice.

Each day will include guided asana practice, which will touch upon the themes of the day, as well as ending the day with different approaches to Yoga Nidra, highlighting its benefits as part of yoga practice.
