On 16-23 July 2015 the 1st level Yantra Yoga teacher training with Laura Evangelisti and Fabio Andrico took place in Kunsangar North, Russia, with more than 80 people participating.
Thanks to the wonderful organization the event was held in a comfortable, friendly and working atmosphere. Each session of the retreat was undertaken under the strict supervision and responsive guidance of Laura Evangelisti. The profound knowledge of Yantra Nyida Khadjor, maintenance of the pure lineage of the transmission as well as the invaluable 20 years’ experience of conducting teacher trainings allowed the participants to receive the oral instructions and commentaries to the text, discover and correct the defects of their own practice! The deep experience of coordination of the movements with breathing, knowledge of the precise rhythm allowed Fabio Andrico to clarify uncertainties in Pranayama and Yantra practices which helped everybody to receive immediate experience. The attention of the participants was directed to the importance of the rhythm of movement and breathing for energy coordination as the main principle of Yantra Yoga. Harmonious cooperation of the two main Yantra Yoga teachers created a very powerful space where everybody had an opportunity to open up his or her own potentiality and advance in the practice!
All participants expressed fascination and gratitude towards our teachers. Those who want to become teachers also received precise recommendations. Everybody had an opportunity to clarify some nuances of the practice and simply stay close and enjoy the process of the knowledge transmission!
The live and close communication with the 1st and 2nd level instructors helped the candidates to understand their tasks for the next year and to become more aware of the responsibility for this process.
We, participants of the teacher training, wish to thank the main Yantra Yoga teachers Fabio Andrico and Laura Evangelisti, the gakyil of Kunsangar North and Mira Mironova for this opportunity to participate, receive knowledge and skills of the method of Yantra Yoga as Dzogchen practice.
Long life and all best wishes to our precious Master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu!
