100 hours Pranayama Training
Prānāyāma, Retreat & Training with Vicki Shields exploring the Subtle Elements of our bodies & minds and healing them through a deeper connection with nature, sound and conscious movement.
Prana is a mysterious energy. It's the immeasurable source of life itself and yoga is an invitation to channel this powerful yet subtle energy. When directed inwards, it can lead us to the true greatness of our being and take us beyond the limited conditioned self.
As we take our attention inwards away from the distractions of the world we begin to feel more. Letting go from the gross physical through the deeper layers of the breath and mind (the koshas), opening up the vast potential of the LIFE FORCE within
To turn that inner dial from negative to postive, to change thoughts to ones that serve our highest good, planting positive seeds of consciousness, taking back our power in the knowing, we are the change we have been waiting for. We are powerful beyond measure.
The 100hrs Training comprises of a five-day retreat in the wild, windswept moors of the Yorkshire countryside, the ideal setting to discover the mysteries of the body and mind.
The retreat carries a 60 hours CPD certification. Combine this with our 40 hours Breath of Life Certification, a total of 3 weekends over 6 months, to earn 100hrs YAP Certification.
The Breath of Life training is your opportunity to build a personal practice and the retreat allows you to turn your attention inwards, connect with Nature and channel the Life Force Energy, to balance all systems of your body.
Every morning we'll begin with contemplation, followed by an embodied and somatic approach to Yoga postures to turn your attention inwards & the subtle movement of energy within. Then, we’ll take a deep dive into the ancient wisdom of Prana, Nadis, Bandhas and the Chakras. We'll also explore the vibration of sound and Mantra, alongside daily Pranayama, to expand your own knowledge and give you the tools to guide others to do the same.
Your body will be nourished with the most incredible, high vibe food from the Mindful Kitchen and you get to stay at Acre Head Farm with the most stunning views of the sunrise and sunsets every day. The wood and waterfalls are a few minutes walk. The ideal setting for meditations to enhance that vital energy within.
This Training is certified with a Trainer-Pro status with Yoga Alliance Professionals.

Who will be teaching you?
It's so rare for Western Yogis to be connected to a living tradition because many of the great Yogic Masters have passed. However, Vicki Shields is taught directly by Yogic Master Sri PO Tiwari who's one of the few remaining Pranayama & Hatha Yoga masters of India. With 14-years of dedicated study with him, Vicki blends ancient yogic wisdom and contemporary scientific research. Her style of teaching is a combination of practice, lecture and discussion giving her students a full understanding of the incredible potential of their body and mind.
