The Program
This teacher training course will enable you to dive deeper into your Stillness, your connection to your Self. It will also help you to gain more awareness over the practice, your teachings, and life in general.
It is possible to join if you are looking for a personal awareness and meditation retreat, as well if you wish to learn the skills to teach empowering meditation classes with confidence, and the ability to hold a sacred safe space for inner transformation, relaxation and awakening for others. We will not only learn meditations, and ways to access presence, but also the incredibly healing Yoga Nidra practice and teaching.
We will cultivate qualities such as stillness, receptivity, openness, surrendering, relaxation, acceptance, sacred activation through sound, vibration, intention, visualisations. Awakening senses.
This is our unique teacher training where you will be supported in discovering how to add more depth, spiritual teachings and awareness transmission to your teachings and classes.
Often times it can be scary to step into that sacred space, within, for our own practice but also when it comes down to teachings.
The current tendencies of approaching yoga in the west can be quite physical, and materialistic. And opening the deeper dimensions of this practice can feel intimidating, we may feel insecure, or afraid of being judged.
It is however the time to bring in more of our natural spirituality into our life and practice, as the lack of this has been creating the imbalance that we see in teh world right now.
So, you will be empowered to explore this sacred and hidden world within and then to share it, with more confidence.
We will practice different types of meditations and we will often use Noble Silence. So a big part of your days (besides the teachings) will be still.
Stillness & meditation is so healing, so energizing, so wonderful.
We will allow ourselves to be supported by the nourishing and organically spiritual aspects of Bali, to elevate ourselves to a deeper connectedness, where we find our inner answers, and we also learn how to guide others in this process.
We will also study a few empowering, healing mantras in depth, so that we get familiar with the science of vibrations and sound healing, as well, as the meaning and philosophical aspects of these mantras. Become confident in sharing your meditations and chanting maybe as a stand alone session, or as part of your yoga classes, if you are already a yoga teacher.
​
We will have daily yoga practices to clean our bodies, and 3 times meditations - which we will practice in different ways- different styles, and intentions.
Silent, guided, tantric, visualisations, buddhist, and movement meditations, as well as mantra sessions.
We will be blessed by the participation of a local healer and spiritual Guide, as he will open our senses to greater awareness.

About your teacher
Kata van Doesselaar 500hrs , EYRT200 is an experienced Yoga Teacher, breath & massage therapist, healer and coach. She is practicing yoga for 18 years, and teaching yoga for 15 years.
She has been trained in various styles (Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa) until she found her Teacher Shiva Rea, that she learned the most from though many years of studies and assisting her. Then she joined some Yin and Mindfulness trainings with Sarah Powers, and more meditation trainings with Dzogchen Buddhist Lama Surya Das, and the Hridaya Yoga teachers.
Kata has been one of the very few teachers in the world who can offer Shiva Rea's unique full Prana Vinyasa 200hrs teacher training- being approved and supported by Shiva. Nowadays she teaches her own trainings she created throughout her many many years and broad spectrum learning.
Besides her dynamic practice Kata was always enjoying stillness and meditation, so she was in Heaven when she discovered Yin Yoga. Being a very energetic Soul, Kata embraced the Yin yoga with open heart, and allowed the practice of letting go, stillness and surrendering to bring balance into her busy life. Having seen the huge impact that yin yoga did on her she went to study with Sarah Powers and Paul Grilley's senior teachers to learn all of it, so she can transmit the gifts of yin yoga in an authentic and pure way. Kata has been training with her Teachers more than 1000hrs.
Kata is based in Ibiza.
Where she has been offering her own retreats and teacher trainings since 2015.
Besides the all year around trainings and workshops all around the globe, Kata is writing her book about feminine awakening...she has created her Goddess Tara oracle card, her Goddess Spirit - sacred feminine lifestyle sustainable fashion brand. And she is a mom of two children, and a happy mama of two dogs.
She loves to share her rich experience of healing, self-healing, and her biggest passion is to inspire people to grow into their full potential, and find their true Self.
Who is this training/immersion for?
This immersion is an all level immersion, you can come for your own personal deepening of practice and connection to SELF, or you can come as a yoga teacher to learn how to offer meditation and mantra classes in a soulful and energetical way to others. Both are fine. As ultimately we are always present for ourselves first. The immersion takes place in a peaceful, more remote area of bali, away from crowded touristic places, and is best suitable for those who are willing to settle into the quiet space within. Our practices and meals will be cleansing, high vibrational, to support you in your awakening and learning journey. No alcohol, no meat, no drugs are permitted throughout the days we spend together. And it is important you arrive with a sense of open mind and heart, and respect towards the balinese culture and land and people, as well.
