This training is fully certified with Yoga Alliance International

A holding space to explore the full-spectrum of sensory and psychological symptoms that can arise in our practice ~ the sublime as well as the ugly ~ in order to savour the full human experience: body, mind and spirit, as alive, open and integrated.

Learn to rest in naturalness and to befriend yourself on levels previously maybe never thought possible…

Join International yoga & meditation teacher and transpersonal therapist Lara Zilibowitz and guest teachers for a 50hr online teacher training across six weeks ~ exploring the nature of healing and awakening through the doorways of Tantric yin yoga and embodied meditation.

This is a loving invitation for all facilitators and passionate students wanting to cultivate a truly compassionate inner refuge in their yoga and meditation practice, through rich philosophy, methodology and embodiment exercises that once integrated can be offered up in service to the holding of humanity and your community.

The premise of this training is an untangling of the trance of disembodiment and self-abandonment which is arguably the ultimate pandemic of our times. A return from disconnect and dissociation, a return to the wisdom of SOMA.

Come home to yourself, care for yourself and get to know yourself on levels never thought possible…
And learn how to facilitate from this truly devotional place of compassion and relentness kindness.

Through inspired practice and theory across wisdom traditions, depth psychology, and somatics, we will realise our yoga and meditation practice as a welcoming and a returning to the tender, open, vulnerable places within, where we allow our senses to open, where we’re not trying to get anywhere, but allowing experience at deeper and deeper levels to be exactly as it is.

Together we will learn to shine our empathic presence into our cells to truly hold space for whatever is arising. To cut through the millions of previous moments of disembodiment and to begin to encode new circuitry of trust, courage, compassion and self-care into our bodies, brains and hearts.

This approach is the antidote.

Who is this training for?

Open to dedicated students who are called to immerse themselves in genuine self study and inquiry; and excited about the depth and potential of embodied meditation and the lunar arts; as well as those who are interested in teaching yin yoga and meditation in a truly embodied and trauma-informed way. 

Each session on the training will be specifically curated to offer you rich experiences, personal insight and empowering take home techniques to open to embodiment, infusing your pure presence into every moment as practitioner and/or teacher.

How the training works:

This training is a LIVE and online training, with 50hrs of teaching calls, practice sessions and theory being shared in real-time over zoom.

If you are based in Australia or Asia, you will be able (and encouraged) to attend 100% of the live calls occurring on Sundays on August 24, 31 & Sept 7, 14, 21 & 28.

Teacher Training map at a glance

  • A rich exploration of ‘yin yoga’ ~ or we could say the ‘lunar arts’ via the Tantric yoga traditions. Understanding its place and difference to the solar vinyasa practice, and the gift that yin yoga offers to train our awareness to hold space for strong energy in the body, in preparation for seated meditation.

  • Learning the physical and subtle anatomy of yin yoga poses, including the map of the chakras and the role of the koshas *please be aware there will be no TCM theory in this training, the focus of this training has a Tantric orientation*

  • Detailed exploration of the Nervous System, the map of the psyche, exploring shifting states of consciousness and understanding Trauma Theory, and the role that yin yoga and meditation can play in the healing journey.

  • Learning the ‘bottom-up’ approach to seated meditation ~ i.e. meditation anchored in the body through the lenses of Tantra Yoga and Buddhist teachings, as well as borrowing from modern body-based trauma healing modalities such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), and somatics (within the fields of bodywork and movement studies).

  • Exploring mindfulness as ‘a mind full of now-ness’ and playing with the notion of bodyfullness (or body fullness).

  • Examining Shamanic Trance States and cross-cultural approaches to ‘meditation.

  • Understanding ‘embodiment’, somatics and interoception ~ the ability to sense ourselves from within, and move what we feel as a way of getting in touch with who we truly are.

  • The deeper invitation in this training is to explore the role of spirituality on the healing path as a way of remembering our inherent wholeness.

  • You will receive a comprehensive manual to support all of the teachings and practices.

Immerse in this six week yin and meditation online teacher training and form lasting connections with friends from across the globe

This training with Lara was filled with layer upon layer of deep uncovering, heart awakening and full-bodied awareness.

What Lara offers in training is a transmission of fully experiencing life along with practical tools on how to bring this experience to form.

She holds a compassionate and loving container that is deeply healing and connecting, allowing each of us to individually dive deep into places we hold in the dark, and to bring it forward into light to be witnessed by ourselves and by our sisters.

The greatest gift I received is an activation of a fully connected experience of body, mind and spirit that continues to permeate through all layers of my being. Over the week of training, I feel like I learnt a new language – one that converses between my emotions, my body, the unhealed parts of myself, the healed parts of myself, and the love, compassion and peace that arises from within. I move forward from the training feeling grounded, alive and ready to move forward through the waves of pain, ecstasy and everything in between.

Deep gratitude and love to Lara and Benny for this gift and profound offering.

~ Sheena Wong 

Lara’s Tantric Yin and Somatic Mindfulness training was life changing as a teacher. My teaching has completely evolved since coming back home. 

I have never met a teacher so embodied in their own work. You can tell she lives and breathes what she preaches and is so authentically passionate to share her gift with anyone that crosses her path. 

Her creation of “Body Poetry” has really helped me to understand the role of poetic language in helping students to access their body in ways that bypass the analytical mind. In her classes I truly feel like I am able to experience my self in ways that I have never before. She creates such a safe holding space that allows her students to uncover such profound internal depth. From this depth of experience, her students are able to go out into the world not just with intellectual understanding but embodied experience. 

Her attention to detail in the curation of experience speaks to all walks of life. I love the way she is able to share such profound truths, knowledge, wisdom and insights that resonate no matter where her students are at on their journey. She is a true master at speaking to both the highs and lows of human experience in ways that are really digestible. 

I would highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to dive deep into the world of somatics and tantric philosophy.

~ Ashley Brown 

Lara has curated a Yin and Meditation training like no other I have seen and the teachings are a testament to her own journey in learning, healing and embodiment to deliver such an in depth, grounded and transformative training. 

~ Alex Inch, Theatre Nurse and Yoga Teacher

I highly recommend the Body Poetry Yoga Online Training to anyone who wants to go into deeper understanding of a yoga practice. Lara guides you beautifully through complex topics of philosophy with grace and ease and joy. And the manual!!! It's amazing. I learned so much on this online platform in the past month. Without a doubt, I would sign up for any upcoming training with Lara! 

~ Kimberly Rice

“I did the amazing Body Poetry training online and truly cannot recommend enough! It was an incredible opportunity to dive deeply into the subtle body and to experience feeling the practise through these energetic layers and in turn how to share with others. 

Lara’s complete devotion and love of this practice shines in all the generous, creative and in depth content and she holds the space for sharing it all with so much care and support.  

I am so grateful the course was online as it meant I could do the training from a different country and at times that worked for me. 

Thank you Lara, I am so look forward to weaving these transformative teachings into my own practice and classes and look forward to joining you for more explorations!”

~ Paula Laguna
