Duo 100 - The Inner Limbs of Yoga : July 2026
100-Hour Pranayama, Breathwork & Meditation Teacher Training: The Inner Limbs of Yoga: From Breath-work to Bliss
This intensive 8-day, 100-hour training at Costa Dulce is designed for everyone who is passionate, dedicated & ready to unlock the profound power of the breath and the mind. This curriculum moves beyond the physical poses to focus on the essential inner practices of the Ashtanga system: Breath (Pranayama), the state of “I am” (Pratyahara), Focus & Attention (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana), and Bliss - the highest awareness (Samadhi).
Training Pillars & Core Curriculum
Pranayama & Breathwork
Explore over 50 breathwork techniques for varying physical and energetic outcomes. Deep dive into the Yoga Sutras related to Pranayama and the vital exchange of O2 and CO2 in the body. Introduction to Somatic Breathwork practices and understanding the link between Trauma & the Body in the context of breath. Explore the functionality of the Nervous System (PNS/SNS) and how breath regulates it.
Meditation
Explore Focus & Attention (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana), and Bliss - the highest awareness (Samadhi) through the Yoga Sutras. Study the Science of Meditation, including the shifts between Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Gamma brain wave states. Practice and learn to teach diverse techniques: calming, active, manifestation, processing, shadow work, inner child healing, and connection to spirit. We will go through a deep exploration of the Chakras as anchors for meditation and energetic healing.
The Art of Holding Space
Develop your unique voice and learn the essential skills of holding space with integrity and confidence : practical exploration of the dark/light and masculine/feminine polarities within the context of self and teaching.
