Mystic Flow is the final installment of The Yoga of Awakening Series by Seane Corn, a renowned yoga teacher and social activist. The first Udemy course, The Yoga of Awakening by Seane Corn , includes Body-Mind and Chakra Flows. In these two programs, students practice yoga poses from the ground up, learn foundational breathing techniques, and open up the seven chakras. The entire Yoga of Awakening Series goes deeper into the dimensions of yoga , offering in-depth training for discovering our vast potential for greater consciousness and connection. It's an invitation to wake up, find our voice, and create a better world for all beings, everywhere. All of these practices in The Yoga of Awakening series, from Mystic Flow, Chakra Flow and Body-Mind Flow, are meant to influence and inform the other. Now that you have better tools for this Awakening, what do you do with the light? In Mystic Flow , practitioners explore the realm of spirit. Mystic Flow calls us to connect with God, to creation, to our own divinity. “When we bring this dimension into yoga,” Seane explains, “our practice becomes an offering and an embodied prayer. We align ourselves for fulfillment, love, and service.” How does the Mystic Flow course work? Each session begins with personal intention-setting and prayer and then progresses into movement, restoration, mindful reflection, and meditation. Each sequence has 4 videos in total (with options for videos with music or without) Each sequence has 2 audio track options: one with intensive guidance and the other for customized, self-guided practice In total, there are 7 sequences that guide students from a beginner to an advanced practice: Beginner/Slow Sequence (30 min): Focuses on your relationship with God, or the mystery Beginner/Slow Sequence (30 min): Focuses on prayer Intermediate Flow (1 hr): Dedication to Mother Earth Intermediate Flow (1 hr): Dedication to someone who has inspired and influenced us to make the choices that we have made Intermediate Flow (1 hr): Dedication to someone in your life who needs healing Intermediate Flow (1 hr): Dedication to someone in your life who you hold a resentment towards Advanced Flow (1.5 hrs): More complex poses, and space to create a prayer that is most meaningful to you This course provides tools to cultivate awareness, open our hearts, and live a life that is more mindful and compassionate. The goal is to apply what we learn on the mat to our lives. Otherwise, as Seane says, "Yoga without prayer is just calisthenics."

    Yoga + Anatomy & The Body Sciences If you are seeking a deeper understanding of the BODY & the relationship between the body & YOGA you have come to the right place!  This course was created for Yoga Teachers, or those going into Yoga Teacher Training, that want to have a solid foundation of knowledge in Anatomy. It is not just anatomy though, this course goes beyond naming the parts, to focus on how the body functions and how that impacts what we do in our practice. This Course is eligible for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits through the YACEP dashboard. This is the first 10 hour course, in a multi-part series on Yoga Anatomy. In this first course, you will learn the basic language of anatomy & movement that is necessary for all future learning about the body. You will also learn about the Skeletal System, Bones, Joints & Ligaments, with special attention to how this information is applied to the way you teach yoga. The Segments include : - Why Should Yoga Teachers Study Anatomy? - The 12 Body Systems - Anatomical Terms of Position & Relationship - The 3 Planes of Movement - The Biomechanics of Balance - The Language of Movement - The Components of the Skeletal System - Types of Bones - Classification of Joints - The Axial & Appendicular Skeleton - Surface Anatomy - Common Conditions of the Skeletal System Each topic is explored through an educational lecture that incorporates slides and video. The concepts that were covered in the lecture are then demonstrated in a practice video where you can follow along to feel these concepts in your own body. There are also segments where I use the Complete Anatomy program to give you a 3D image of the bones and joints that we are discussing. Finally, there is a practice video where we find these structures in our own body, through what is called Surface Anatomy . This is a valuable skill when looking at students in yoga poses to assess their alignment and posture. One of the greatest benefits of studying Anatomy online is that you can go back and review the topics as many times as you like. This really helps to absorb the information and to become comfortable with this new language. I created this course because I love teaching Yoga + Anatomy and I want other yoga teachers to have a solid understanding of the body that guides the way they teach.  When we feel confident in our knowledge that shines through to our students! I hope you will join me on this journey to creating a generation of confident, well educated & effective Yoga Teachers!

        *******Over 10,000  students are enrolled in this course******* This course is a Summary of traditional Yoga Meditation Practices, which explores a 1-page outline of the practices of our Abhyasa Ashram and Himalayan meditation tradition. Your guide in the course is Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati (Swami J or Babafor short). Throughout this course we emphasize the Antar (Inner) Yoga principles and practices of the ancient sages of meditation and contemplation, particularly as transmitted to us through Swami Rama of the Himalayas, and the long lineage of predecessors. We use the word Yoga in its traditional meaning as a path of liberation or freedom from the bondage of attractions, aversions, and false identities, systematically revealing the eternal, unblemished Center of Consciousness and its Union with the One absolute, Nondual Reality. This one page Summary is a brief, yet thorough outline of the central themes of the practices of our ashram and tradition; practices which lead you in the direction of Self-realization or Enlightenment. The course is a practical expansion of that one-page Summary that we have widely used in online meetings, at our ashram in the US, as well as in meditation retreats and classes around the world. Our immediate goal is to lead you to directly intuiting your true nature, as a center of pure consciousness, and then allowing the depth and breadth of meditation to naturally come over time. Most of the course is video lectures, complemented by several extensive PDF files and audio Resources. The course has four major sections: Self-Observation, Internal Dialogue, Systematic Meditation, and a fourth section on Complementary and Evolving Practices. Please approach the course with the view of it being a practical tool for deepening your Meditations, and that this is not a mere intellectual study. We encourage you to expeditiously, yet comfortably move through the course, watch the video portions, and then, once familiar with the principles, come back and reflect on the many attached Resources more deeply. In other words, please remember that while there is a lot of depth here, which can make the process seem to be not easy, there is always an underlying simplicity.

          This is the course you need to improve your flexibility. In just 15 days, world-renowned yoga instructor and founder of Yoga 15, Abi Carver will take you through a systematic progression of videos, designed to improve your flexibility from head to toe. And it only takes 15 minutes each day! Abi has spent years deconstructing the practice of yoga to bring you a method that you can fit into your daily schedule. She combines the ancient wisdom of yoga with contemporary biomechanics and physiotherapy science to bring you a mind-body discipline that is designed to help you reach your mental and physical goals. In each sequence, Abi guides you though a quick warm-up, a series of static and dynamic flexibility poses, and ends with a relaxing cool-down. In the first workout, we deconstruct the primary yoga poses and begin to lengthen muscles throughout the body. We then progressively work on improving the flexibility and range of motion in your calves, hamstrings, quads, hips, spine, abs, obliques, lats, shoulders and neck. This course includes all the essential yoga poses including sun salutations A and B. What you can expect: · Lessons taught by a world-class yoga instructor with an in-depth experience of yoga and your body. · 15 beautifully designed, downloadable handouts. · A clear and clean step-by-step guide to creating your perfect yoga environment. · Extensive pose library with detailed tutorials. Testimonials on Abi's 15-Day Yoga For Flexibility Challenge "I love this class! Usually when taking online classes because I get nervous taking my eyes off the screen or closing my eyes because I'm scared I'll miss something. But the verbal instructions in this class are so clear that you can do everything without even looking at the screen. I also love the non-spiritual approach the teacher takes. Lastly, I love how each video clearly states what part of the body we'll be working on." Michelle Angela Santos “Fantastic course. Bitesize 15-minute yoga. I have done it daily for weeks now and I feel a huge benefit.” Anna Davey “This is a great course and Abi is a fantastic teacher. The pace is just right, and she always seems to give instruction at just the right time that I wouldn't expect from someone who's not in the room with me. For example, just when I do not realize that my jaw, shoulders, etc are tensing up in a pose, her voice will come over and say to relax them. There are always a few minutes of warm up/wind down at the end of each video, so about 10 minutes of new instruction. I like that each video focuses on a different part of the body. I found it helpful to repeat a prior day's 10 minutes in addition to the current day's video and repeated each video several times. Over the course of a month, I find myself much more flexible and eager to move on to another of her series. I know that I will continue to practice many of the postures that I found helpful in this series as I build my own routine. Thanks, Abi!” Christi Ciccolone

            If you feel stiff when you wake up or struggle to manage your energy throughout the day, now is the perfect time to start focusing on your health and wellbeing, before the negative effects of modern life take their toll. When you practice yoga for a short time every day, you'll find that you can move more comfortably, that you have much more energy and no longer suffer from recurring niggling aches and pains, especially at the lower back, neck or shoulders. The most effective at-home training I started working from home in 2009, which meant that before the popularity of at-home fitness training, I had to find a way to keep myself fit and healthy that I could stay consistent with over the long-term and that didn't require much space or equipment. Although I was already certified as an NASM Personal Trainer, I had become disillusioned with the repetitive style of training and no longer had access to a fully-equipped gym. For me, yoga was the obvious solution. I started practicing yoga every day for my physical health and meditation for my sanity with online teachers. However, unfortunately, very quickly I came up against some significant road blocks. * Time I rarely, if ever, had 90 minutes to spare for a full yoga class. * Focus I couldn't find classes had a clear objective that I was guaranteed to achieve if I put in the time. * Spirituality I am a very introspective and spiritual person but it's not something I think about when I'm working out! You can find out more about more personal thoughts on this subject on my blog. My solution? So I did the only sensible thing. I went to Guatemala to take my first Yoga Alliance 200-Hour Teacher Training certificate and designed my own, comprehensive yoga program! The birth of Yoga 15 I broke the discipline of yoga into 5 core skills—Flexibility, Strength, Mobility, Relaxation and Balance. And then created a system that works you through each of these areas systematically, all the time increasing your level of ability and expertise. I cut the time needed to practice down to 15 minutes, which is the MED (minimum effective dose)—giving you just enough time to warm up, stretch out and cool down. And decided to focus on achieving just one skill or objective in each session. (eg. to improve my hamstrings flexibility, opening up my hips or building core strength). 5 years later and these are still the only sequences that I need to keep me performing at the top of my game. 15 Minutes x 15-Day Total Yoga Challenge In this 15-day online yoga course, I lead you through a total yoga challenge that takes just 15 minutes a day. We cycle through each of the 5 different Yoga 15 skills—strength, flexibility, relaxation, balance, and mobility—practicing 5 sequences for each. The videos become increasingly more difficult as you progress through the challenge, as your abilities incrementally improve. Unlike other yoga programs, this course is designed to be highly effective and super efficient. It is part 1 of a 6-part series that you can repeat as many times as you like—learning something new each time you practice the sequence. Why practice yoga? Gain a better understanding of your body. Improve your flexibility. Increase your range of motion. Strengthen your entire body, especially your core. Sleep better. Improve your coordination. Learn how to breathe better and more effectively. Eliminate aches and pains. Alleviate post-workout soreness. Reduce your injuries. Start each day on the right foot—alert, centred and in the zone. What you can expect 15 unique sequences taught by a world-class yoga instructor with an in-depth experience of yoga and your body. 15 beautifully-designed, downloadable handouts. A definitive step-by-step guide to creating your perfect yoga environment. An extensive pose library with highly-detailed tutorials. Testimonials for Abi's "15 Minutes x 15-Day Total Yoga Challenge" “Fantastic course. Bitesize 15-minute yoga. I have done it daily for weeks now and I feel a huge benefit” Anna Davey “I keep rotating among 6 of Abi's 5x15 series and obviously am a fan. Excellent in all respects.” Randolph Harper “It is a real treasure and a gift this course. Abi is an instructor who transmits balance, serenity and focus. I am very happy and grateful for it.” Claus Charley “This is amazing course, made me practise yoga consistently in lockdown era. Some balancing poses are super hard, I am nearing the end of 15 days now, I am going to redo the whole course again because there is a huge margin to improve. Thanks to everyone involved.” Bharat “I woke up with stiffness and this class help me to relieve the stress my body was in." Margaret Duran “Was a beginner and this allowed me to do yoga comfortably in my own home and build up slowly. Will continue to use regularly.” Kristina DM “It is one of the best yoga course. The duration is very good with the well-managed course.” Rajendra Prasad Neupane “Course is really good..Step by Step Progression is helpful for beginners." Swapnil Jain “Perfect length of time and level of effort to give me a boost at the beginning or middle of my day!” Terry Brogan “Good short lessons that you can fit into a busy schedule.” Schuyler Berg “This course is what i was looking for!! 15 min per day is a great combo, i think i will buy the others form the same author!! Good job keep doing it!” Giorgio Guidazzi “I think the 15-minute segments are the perfect length. Since I'm working from home these days, I can easily silence my phone and email for a bit, do some quick yoga, and then get back to work feeling refreshed.” Gabriel Jones

              This course, by renowned yoga instructor and spiritual leader, Seane Corn, will guide you to the deeper dimensions of yoga. You’ll discover your unique and vast potential, as well as your capacity for connection, empowerment, and consciousness. As you progress from a physical to an energetic practice, you’ll use yoga poses to tune into the body-mind connection within. In other words, you’ll develop a yoga practice that heals you not only physically, but also emotionally and energetically. Align Your Body and Chakras to Create a Strong Mind-Body Connection Establish and Deepen a Yoga Practice for Body and Mind Unblock the Seven Chakras for Emotional and Energetic Wellness Develop a Profound Connection with Your Inner Self Use Yoga to Encourage Physical, Emotional, and Energetic Healing Seane Corn has created this course to help you connect with your physical body before going deeper into your energetic body. You’ll begin with foundational lessons in vinyasa flow yoga. As you create a foundation with this ancient practice, you’ll release tension and deepen your mind-body connection. Once you learn to harmonize breathing, movement, and awareness, you’ll release stuck emotions by working with your edges. This will lead to both physical and emotional strength and wellbeing. After harnessing the benefits of a physical practice, you’ll use yoga as a gateway to your chakras (seven energy centers in the body) to energetically heal. Contents and Overview You’ll begin this course with Seane’s body-mind flow so that you can build yoga poses from the ground up. This will ensure the process will be safe and effective. You’ll also master proper breathing with a lesson on ujjayi pranayama before you dive into vinyasa flow yoga and experience an all-levels practice. When ready, you’ll move onto lessons on how to further deepen your yoga experience, and you’ll also have the opportunity to move through an advanced practice. After you’ve completed the body-mind flow, you can move on to the chakra flow section of the course. At this point, you’ll be ready to go even deeper into the mind-body connection you’ve already established. You’ll learn about the chakras, how they absorb and reflect information, and how they impact your health. When your seven chakras are blocked, you’ll feel unbalanced and unwell, so you’ll tackle how to open up and balance each chakra for physical and emotional wellness. By the time you complete this course, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the connection between the mind and body, as well as the impact that your thoughts have upon your health. You’ll realize that there’s no separation between body and mind, and you’ll know how to heal yourself by witnessing your thoughts, aligning your chakras, and allowing abundance to flow into your life.

Her instructions are very concise, and her self-checking tips are on point as always. I feel the difference after completing each exercise, and I see how I'm gradually progressing. I highly recommend this course to anyone who's looking to try out yoga without any of the spiritual woo-woos that some teachers may have. :)" Adelyn "Abi's 15 minute routines are perfect for those who need a quick yoga workout at the beginning of a busy day or at the end of a long one. I've tried one hour programs that seem to take up too much time in the morning and resulted in more often than not, me skipping the workout all together. Fifteen minutes is just enough to get a good stretch in to get you ready for the rest of your day." Scott Chin

                    Make the most of your precious time on the mat! In our time-starved lifestyle, the moments we spend in yoga practice must have the most beneficial effect possible. This essential course is designed for any level of yoga practitioner—from aspiring to experienced yogis—to learn to approach any class or practice with greater integrity, so you can gain the maximal therapeutic effect possible, no matter when, where, or how you practice. The founder of Yoga Medicine, internationally acclaimed teacher Tiffany Cruikshank, L.Ac., MAOM, E-RYT, has designed this course to make the groundbreaking techniques of Yoga Medicine accessible to everyone. Yoga Medicine teachers are rigorously educated in a fusion of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics with the traditional practice of yoga. Yoga Medicine extensively trains teachers to work with students and healthcare providers to find a yoga practice that is an appropriate therapeutic adjunct to medical care. After teaching for over two decades, training thousands of yoga teachers, presenting at conferences around the world, and working with tens of thousands of patients, Tiffany has distilled the Yoga Medicine training down to the most important factors that help everyone get the most out of their yoga practice. Sharing many of these findings for the first time, Tiffany’s course is an essential supplement for anyone who practices yoga and wants to enhance the therapeutic effects of their practice. In Yoga Medicine’s teacher trainings, we pride ourselves on teaching our students the what, why, and how of the poses, so teachers can empower their students to take their practice and health into their own hands. In this course, you’ll access this teacher training directly, learning Yoga Medicine’s key insights on anatomy, physiology, and mental health that you will be able to immediately put into use. You will learn how to develop your practice with a three-dimensional approach to address the physical body, the internal organs, and the mind simultaneously, in harmony with your body’s physiological reflexes and instincts. This course features five sections with 28 unique lessons. In each lesson, you will learn critical information, alignment tips, and pose modifications that help you elevate your practice in whatever time you have. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently approach any style of yoga with greater integrity, knowing you have the skills and knowledge to get the most out of every moment on the mat. Each lesson will begin with a structured lecture by Tiffany, during which she will review the key points of learning and how the training will build upon itself with each section. During her lectures, Tiffany will refer to medical illustrations and notes that are provided in your handouts, to help you make connections and deepen your understanding. After each lecture, you’ll begin a thematically-linked yoga sequence, guided by Yoga Medicine’s most accomplished teachers, to help you make the embodied connection between the ideas and the practice so you can feel the core concepts of that lesson at work in your body. The course flows as follows: Section 1: Introduction Introduction (1:59) Overview (6:10) Key Preliminary Points (7:01) Handout for this course (Yoga-Medicine_Udemy-Handout.pdf) Mindfulness in Action (3:44) Section 2: Physical Practices in Yoga Introduction to Physical Practices (4:37) Shoulder Structure (6:03) Shoulder Anatomy (11:50) Shoulder Therapeutic Applications (6:07) Shoulder Asana (35:06) Spine Structure (9:13) Spine Anatomy (9:54) Spine Therapeutic Applications (13:01) Spine Asana (36:40) Hip Structure (3:41) Hip Anatomy (5:13) Hip Therapeutic Applications (6:45) Hip Asana (47:28) Section 3: Yoga and the Nervous System Anatomy of the Nervous System (10:26) Application of the Nervous System to Yoga (6:04) Pranayama Effects on the Nervous System (10:17) Asana Practice for the Nervous System (36:07) Section 4: Mindfulness in Yoga Anatomy of the Mind in Yoga (3:11) Anatomy of the Mind in Meditation (6:37) Traditional Yoga and the Mind (8:27) Asana Practice for Mindfulness (52:17) Section 5: Conclusion Bringing it All Together (4:59) Establishing a Regular Practice (3:47) Rather than simply provide a set of classes for you to repeat (and become dependent upon!), this course teaches you the key biomechanical concepts needed to approach any type of practice with the maximum physiological, mental, and emotional benefit. You’ll learn about the interaction of the nervous system with the poses, and how mindfulness meditation and specific methods of breathing can help you further tap into your body’s innate rest-and-recovery response. By the end of the course, you will have learned to move your body in more specifically healing ways, in all settings, so you can experience greater integrity and therapeutic effect from any yoga practice. These individual lessons and practices will be here for your review at any time, but the intention is for this education and these core concepts to travel with you, enabling you to tap into them at will. Pain and stress are reaching epidemic levels, affecting so many aspects of our health and well-being. The ability of yoga to combat the ravages of daily life has become essential in today’s world. But with more and more scientific research validating yoga’s therapeutic and medical applications, the more intensive healing power of yoga has become undeniable, making an individual yoga practice an indispensable tool in any complete holistic health and wellness approach. These lectures and practices help you tap directly into that therapeutic effect, pairing cutting-edge scientific findings with hands-on instruction that helps you get the most targeted positive impact possible from your yoga practice.
