WHAT A TRAINING WEEKEND FEELS LIKE

By Friday evening, the week may still be clinging to the body—the conversations, responsibilities, momentum, and noise of the days that came before.
And so, we begin by arriving.

We settle into the space, into our bodies, and into the living theme that will accompany us through the weekend. We practise together and begin loosening our grip on everything we think we already know, making room for curiosity, connection, and something new to emerge.

Saturday carries us more deeply into the teachings. Philosophy and mythology meet asana, pranayama, meditation, Evolutionary Astrology, biomechanics, assisting and adjusting, teaching language, and shared inquiry.

There is time to listen and time to move.
Time to ask questions, experiment, practise, observe, and discover how an ancient teaching might speak through the particular circumstances of our contemporary lives.

By Sunday, the individual threads begin weaving themselves together. We explore how a philosophical theme can shape a class, how the movement of a joint can inform an adjustment, and how the quality of our own attention influences the space we create for another person.

We begin teaching—not from performance or perfection, but from presence.

Each weekend builds upon the one before it. Over nine months, the teachings gradually move from something we understand intellectually into something we can feel, embody, express, and carry into our lives.

The 200-Hour Fundamentals Teacher Training meets one weekend each month from October 2026 through June 2027 at Madhu Wellness Collective in Rossland.

Fridays: 5–9 PM
Saturdays: 10 AM–6 PM
Sundays: 9 AM–5 PM

No previous teaching experience is required. Come because you feel called to teach, or simply because your own practice is asking to be met more deeply.

TONIGHT @ 7 PM

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

-- Wild Geese by Mary Oliver
