TRUE SADHANA
Immersion—Yoga, Ayurveda and Vedanta
with Deva + Eaden Shantay
Join us for the upcoming TRUE SADHANA Immersion. Open to everyone, TRUE SADHANA can be taken for personal enrichment, continued education OR as prerequisite for the True Nature 200hr Teacher Training.
In this immersion you will dive deep into: Yoga (asana, pranayama, mudras), Meditation, Ayurveda & Vedanta. You will study the history and lineages, learn about the techniques and practices and will understand how and when to utilize them. Your mind will be stimulated through wisdom that has been passed down for over 5000yrs.
You will study ancient scriptures and engage in lively conversations with your peers and teachers. This immersion will expand your mind and leave you yearning for more! The life of a student never ends as there is always more to explore! After studying the various facets of yoga, you will naturally want to practice what you have learned. Experiencing the wisdom directly supports the process of integration. This module gives you the tools needed to develop a deep personal practice.
You will learn how to create a solid daily yoga asana and meditation practice and how to live an aligned Ayurvedic lifestyle per your constitution. For those of you who desire to continue further and become certified Yoga Teacher Trainees, a personal practice is necessary to be a good teacher. You cannot teach that which you do not know and sharing with others before concepts are truly grasped, leads to a lack of integrity in teaching.
This immersion is a prerequisite for our True Nature 200hr Teacher Training and adequately prepares you to begin learning to teach.
“Deva and Eaden welcomed us and bathed us in the ancient teachings of the Koshas, Karma Yoga and Vedanta. My intention for this spiritual journey was to receive the teachings in their purest form and allow them to be woven into my being. Our time together left me feeling held by the teachings, our teachers, Eaden and Deva and the new soul companions that lived the practices with me. Thank you for giving me the tools to navigate and cultivate a raw and deep relationship with my souls’s purpose.” —Emily White

TESTIMONIALS
“The 200 hr Teacher Training at True Nature was a deep dive into my inner self, with the gentle guidance of Deva and Eaden.
I encourage this training to anyone interested in deepening your understanding of your personal practice, and what you need physically, spiritually and mentally.”
- Joanne Nevilas, True Nature Healing Arts Teacher
“Signing up for my first yoga teacher training with Deva and Eaden was life changing!
Taking a deep dive into the world of yoga asana and philosophy, chanting, meditation and breathwork with this power couple as my guides was a profound experience, it awakened something deep within myself that I couldn’t have accessed otherwise.
Standing around the final fire ceremony as we wrapped up the second module, I felt not only a deeper connection to myself and spirit, but to a wonderful community of yogis and new friends. Ten years later, I’m still happily teaching yoga within the True Nature community."
- Lindsay Herlinger, True Nature Healing Arts Yoga Teacher
