What is the Tillai? As a reminder, the story begins.... A warm breeze swept through the Tillai Forest floor, disturbing the dried, fallen leave and wet mosses making their home on the forest floor. It twists and turns as if wending its way with determination, deep into the heart the forest. Here underneath the green canopy of Tillai trees with dapples of light piercing through the endless, finger-like leaves, near the now temple-city Cidumbarum, the great Lord of the Dance bent and wound his way into the famous image. This glimmering icon frozen in time, known as Shiva Nataraj, embodying the fundamental principles of the Universe, has been commemorated for centuries. Like the breeze, we will wind our way into the temple of our heart and caress the dance of our own divinity within.

About Our Methodology... We believe that teaching comes from the heart, and that in order to guide each other through the jungle of our lives to our deepest, most resplendent experience, we have to return to our starting point. Our process of teaching begins with return, moving along the steps we have taken with fresh eyes and learning the object of our passion anew.. Together, we will create a return pathway, through the jungle of yoga, learning twists and turns, seeing poses and breaths from a new angle, becoming better informed in our own heart along the way. This return journey reinforms our senses, refines our understanding and provides ample ground for us to learn how to teach what we know and bring others along a path we have already tread. The underlying principle of our method of teaching is that when we look back at where we came from, using our practice, our embodied understanding gained from precious years of practice, we discover the tools for teaching yoga. We will learn to practice in new ways, discover new possibilities in our bodies and new understandings of the role of Yoga in everyday life.. The program weaves a tapestry of information, skill, embodiment and experience into a radical new way to learn the art and science of teaching. From our alignment we learn how to adjust, from our breath we learn how to verbalize, from our heart we learn how to communicate, from the flow we learn how to improvise and from our community we create a safe, nurturing place to blossom.
