In May, Kalari Sangha will host the West's first ever Kalari teacher training and immersion. Held in Oaxaca, Mexico, the retreat will break participants from their daily lives and provide an opportunity to really grow and experience the practice like never before. We will have two intense practices per day, famous Oaxacan cuisine and time for contemplation and relaxation. This format is authentic to training in India, but we're bringing it much, much closer to the States.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_urvKtvRElnQ/S4TIvAqBiKI/AAAAAAAAAsk/eMi0RGuKolM/s400/gerhard-wildboar.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 333px; height: 335px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441694959726069922" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;Wild boar posture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Additionally, we're providing the opportunity for those interested to take the first step toward teacher certification in the lineage of C. M. Sherif, Gurukkal. You can stay from a weekend through two weeks at a cost of $1,500 to $1,800 per week, with transportation as your only additional expense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_urvKtvRElnQ/S4TJXGCIQQI/AAAAAAAAAss/B3nl8-o-lio/s400/lalomalinda1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 333px; height: 248px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441695648364118274" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;La Loma Linda, Mexico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For more details, dates, and prices, &lt;a href="http://www.kalarisangha.net/2009/03/dates-and-prices-for-teacher-training.html"&gt;click here.&lt;/a&gt; See you in sunny Mexico!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/840365585840685251-4009438724125751693?l=www.kalarisangha.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.kalarisangha.net/2009/05/first-ever-kalari-sangha-teacher.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kalarippayat)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_urvKtvRElnQ/S4TIvAqBiKI/AAAAAAAAAsk/eMi0RGuKolM/s72-c/gerhard-wildboar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840365585840685251.post-5461952161392997002</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2009 10:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-07T04:45:46.095-08:00</atom:updated><title>Dates and Prices for Teacher Training and Immersion</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dates: May 1st - 15th, 2010&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the immersion you can pick your dates anywhere within the May 1 - 15 window, from a long weekend to the full two weeks.

Beginners will be able to lay the foundations of the practice on a level that would take weeks or months in a normal class setting. For advanced students it will offer deep immersion, unique forms and exercises not commonly taught in daily classes or workshops outside of India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The afternoons practices will be lighter, and each have a different focus, expanding into new areas of study, also giving a theoretical understanding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Teacher Training:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For those following our Teacher Training Certification course, this Oaxaca retreat will count for 80 of the 200 required contact hours. Kalari Sangha is planning two more immersions this year in Central America, two in Europe, and weekend modules in European and U.S. cities, that will also count toward the total number of required hours. We'll detail the full structure of the teacher training in our next message, so stay in touch! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bodywork / Treatments:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In addition, a limited number of Kalari Treatments and Massages will be offered, greatly enhancing the evolution of the practitioners’ physical and spiritual body, and offering therapeutics for those who may need healing (at an additional cost), more information on this in our next email. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Schedule:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's a glimpse at the daily schedule:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;06.30 - 07.00 Tea&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;07.00 - 09.30 Practice&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;10.00 - 11.00 Breakfast&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;11.00 - 01.30 Self practice / Treatments / Spare time&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;01.30 - 03.00 Lunch&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;03.00 - 04.30 Teacher Training / Practicums&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;04.30 - 06.00 Practice&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;06.30 - 07.30 Dinner&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;08.00 - 09.00 Teacher Training Lectures and Q&amp;amp;As / Spare time&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Location: La Loma Linda Retreat Center&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;La Loma Linda Retreat Center is tucked away in lush foliage on the coast of Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico.

For advanced students it will offer deep immersion, unique forms and exercises not commonly taught in daily classes or workshops outside of India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, a limited number of Kalari Treatments and Massages will be offered, greatly enhancing the evolution of the practitioners’ physical and spiritual body, and offering therapeutics for those who may need healing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This very special retreat will happen in Latvia, at a retreat centre deep in the beautiful countryside, with pools, saunas, steam baths and a pond for swimming, all just steps from the living quarters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Kalari-Sangham&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; has teamed up with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shiva.lv/index.php?lang=3"&gt;Shivas Centre&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;amp;source=s_q&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;geocode=&amp;amp;q=Riga,+latvia&amp;amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;amp;sspn=41.903538,56.425781&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=10"&gt;Rīga&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; (Latvia) for this event, and in addition to the fantastic accommodations, the cooking staff from the Shivas Centre will accompany us on the retreat and provide delicious Ayurvedic meals cooked fresh three times a day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, -webkit-fantasy;color:#48372E;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;hr align="center" noshade="" style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  font-style: normal; color: rgb(72, 55, 46); font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;THE PRACTICE:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  color: rgb(72, 55, 46); font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Much like Kalari practice in India, the morning sessions will focus on deepening current knowledge and refining the practitioners understanding of Kalari and his/her embodiment of the practice. The afternoons will each have a different focus, again, deepening the individual’s current practice, but now also expanding into new areas of study for the abhyasi to explore, according to each individual’s capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sherifka will share his vast knowledge and experience, as well as the very latest in his continual search for the most complete understanding of the ancient practice of Kalari.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;In addition, a limited number of treatments will be available (at an additional cost), if you would like to arrange this, please email &lt;a href="mailto:kalarippayat@gmail.com"&gt;Gerhard&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;as soon as possible to ensure your space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some topics that will be covered are: Marma, Nadis, Self defense, Treatment, Elements, Gunas, Doshas, Culture &amp;amp; History, Philosophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a glimse at the daily schedule:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;07.00 - 07.30 Tea&lt;br /&gt;07.30 - 09.30 Practice&lt;br /&gt;10.00 - 11.00 Breakfast&lt;br /&gt;11.00 - 13.30 Treatment / Consultations / Self pracice / Spare time&lt;br /&gt;13.30 - 15.00 Lunch&lt;br /&gt;15.00 - 17.00 Treatment / Consultations / Self pracice / Spare time&lt;br /&gt;16.30 - 18.00 Practice&lt;br /&gt;18.30 - 19.30 Dinner&lt;br /&gt;20.00 - 21.00 Lecture / Spare time on some days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);  font-family:Georgia, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, -webkit-fantasy;color:#48372E;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;hr align="center" noshade="" style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  color: rgb(72, 55, 46); font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, fantasy;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;THE PLACE:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have found one of the most adorable places in Europe - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marciena.com/"&gt;Mārcienas Muiža&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; - a beautiful mansion from the year 1908, that has been lovingly restored and consists of several buildings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Mansion / Main House: 6 spacious guestrooms, patio, gathering area, this is also where the meals are served.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; "&gt;&lt;table border="0" align="center"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#C5C293" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://gerhardschmid.net/newsletter/images/content/mansion.jpg" alt="Mārcienas Muiža - Main House" width="300" height="175" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"  style=" ;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="style12"  style=" font-style: italic; font-size:small;"&gt;Mārcienas Muiža - Main House&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Spa House: House with large panes of glass with cold and warm indoor pool, 4 steam baths, exercise machines, massage and treatment rooms.

In May, Kalari Sangha will host the West's first ever Kalari teacher training and immersion. Held in Oaxaca, Mexico, the retreat will break participants from their daily lives and provide an opportunity to really grow and experience the practice like never before. We will have two intense practices per day, famous Oaxacan cuisine and time for contemplation and relaxation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; "&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Dates: May 1st - 15th, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; Teacher training starts on Saturday of each week. (For the immersion you can pick your dates anywhere within the May 1 - 15 window, from a long weekend to the full two weeks.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The Practice:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Much like Kalari practice in India, the morning sessions will focus on repetition, (Abhyasi = "the repeating one"), internalizing the movement patterns, programming the the "reptile brain". Beginners will be able to lay the foundations of the practice on a level that would take weeks or months in a normal class setting. For advanced students it will offer deep immersion, unique forms and exercises not commonly taught in daily classes or workshops outside of India.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The afternoons practices will be lighter, and each have a different focus, expanding into new areas of study, also giving a theoretical understanding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Teacher Training:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;For those following our Teacher Training Certification course, this Oaxaca retreat will count for 80 of the 200 required contact hours. Kalari Sangha is planning two more immersions this year in Central America, two in Europe, and weekend modules in European and U.S. cities, that will also count toward the total number of required hours.

Both workshops will be held at SUTRA.Collective in Hamburg, Germany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Intensive (September 27th-28th)&lt;/span&gt; will give Abhyasis who have already completed at least one Introductory Workshop the chance to deeply immerse into the heart of the practice and cultivate Flow, Steadfastness, Aligment and Grounding. A regular participation in the intensives is an integral part of the traditional student-teacher-relationship and prerequisite for the upcoming teacher training program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Introductory Workshop&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(October 4th and 5th)&lt;/span&gt; will give beginners an overview of Kalarippayat, its rich history and the spectrum of its practice and tradition. The differences and similarities with Hatha Yoga will be explored and the key principles of Kalarippayat will be illustrated: Extension of sensory awareness, opening and closing vs. gradually opening, doing vs. thinking, embodiment vs. enactment, Shiva and Shakti etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Details about the Workshop can be found on the site of &lt;a href="http://www.sutra.cc/sutrahtml/news.html"&gt;SUTRA.Collective&lt;/a&gt;.

It was a fantastic experience and the extend of hospitality, dedication and professionalism was amazing. As most of the practicioners present were long term students of Hatha Yoga and other vedic sciences, the Kalari workshop became quite demanding, leading up to several full Shiva Forms of the Pilaitangi branch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B0aE4Nzu1bs/SDvDz6n1iSI/AAAAAAAAADA/-5bByKmU1h8/s1600-h/kalari-workshop-riga-satsang.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B0aE4Nzu1bs/SDvDz6n1iSI/AAAAAAAAADA/-5bByKmU1h8/s320/kalari-workshop-riga-satsang.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204969091033827618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kalari Workshop in Riga really illustrated the concept of global Yoga transcending mere language boundaries: Germans teaching in English which is translated to Russian for Latvian students. Riga is what could justly be called  "the vedic capital of europe" and studies of the various vedic sciences like Jyotish, Ayurveda and Yoga are favourite passtimes and a way of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_B0aE4Nzu1bs/SDvFoqn1iVI/AAAAAAAAADY/HbMIP5-s2i4/s1600-h/kai-hitzer-shiva-gerhard-schmid.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_B0aE4Nzu1bs/SDvFoqn1iVI/AAAAAAAAADY/HbMIP5-s2i4/s320/kai-hitzer-shiva-gerhard-schmid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204971096783554898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Shiva Centrs" is a beautiful studio with its roots dating back to 1989. The studio creates its own water and provides Ayurvedic meals for the students on a daily basis. I think the specially prepared ayurvedic pizza became one of our favourites, as well as the city and its people.
