For a steady personal practice

The good weather is here here and all of us are looking forward to spending time outdoors. It is also a great time to incorporate healthy habits in our daily routine, like doing Yoga anywhere! Just half an hour of daily practice can bring incredible benefits to your body and life.
FLY FREE WITH THE PRACTICARDS is appropriate for all levels of practitioners and all styles of Yoga. It will be taught in Spanish and English.

Summer starts and it is a time to celebrate life in all
its aspects. This time of the year also offers a great
opportunity to rest and renew in different levels, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Zunray invites you to a special “Summer Yoga” class where the practice will be uplifting and full of vitality and where you will learn easy tips to celebrate the sunny season with your body, mind and, heart.

PLUS: You will get a small brochure with easy tips to maximize the benefits of your Summer. We have also prepared a very special Spa-like treat for you to enjoy at the end of the class!!

A 6-hour introduction to the Universal Principles of
Alignment – this is a great chance for beginner and
advanced yogis to get an idea of the wonderfully
inspiring and helpful essentials of Anusara Yoga.

The workshop is a powerful mix of asana practice and theoretical introduction to its underlying philosophy. It is based on Hatha Yoga and it emphasizes bio-mechanically correct and intelligent bodily alignment that is applied while getting into the poses, when we are in the middle of their practice as well as getting out of the pose. The importance of a positive attitude and dedication as a manifestation of the concept of “balanced action” during one’s personal practice is demonstrated and explained in detail.
Yogis attending this workshop will get an introduction of:
• The Universal Principles of Alignment
• The special meaning of the 3 A’s (“Attitude, Alignment, Action”)
• The philosophical background of Anusara yoga

Workshop taught by Lalleshvari (Dr. Claudia Turske) and Zaira Leal.

English will be the main language and personal support will be given in German and Spanish.

3 Languages

This teacher training will be taught in English, German and Spanish. Mallorca is an international island and so is the Zunray community of yogis. It´s important that a student will do their training program in the language that they will ultimately teach in but we also feel that English plays an important role in uniting yoga students from all nations and yoga teachers have a great advantage in having a good yoga-related knowledge and vocabulary in English. We are lucky to have three teachers that are bilingual in English/German or English/Spanish, The communal language of this training will be English. In certain moments we will work with translation, in other moments the group will be divided by language. In principal, 10 places are available per language in this training.

3 Teachers

You will be exposed to three teachers with their own personality, style of teaching and knowledge. Each of them is highly qualified but the combination of the three makes this teacher training a unique experience you will find nowhere else. All three teachers are 500 ERYT, Certified Anusara yoga teachers. The teaching experience combined is literally 10-thousands of class hours and many years of teacher training programs.

We present to you:

Zaira Leal Spanish/English 500 ERYT

Vilas Turske German/English 500 ERYT

200 hours, 5 weeks

The five weeks are spread between October 2013 and June 2014. The first 3 weeks (the first 100 hours) are so called immersions which will focus on expanding your knowledge and practice: The principles of alignment, exploring postures, philosophy, anatomy and history.

The last two weeks (each of 50 hours) will focus on learning and refining the central elements necessary for teaching inspiring and effective public classes.  Special topics include articulating skills, sequencing toward peak poses, creating authentic heart-based themes, introducing UPA’s to beginners, making effective verbal and hands-on adjustments and developing creative solutions for all levels of classes. This part will be very practical. You will be required to teach your fellow students, receive feedback etc. After the first week it is vital that you put your teaching skills to practice at home to return the second week with first hand experience. For Zunray students living on Mallorca, teaching opportunities will be offered.

Monastery of Cura – Mallorca

The impressive Franciscan Monastery of Our lady of Cura sits on the plateau Puig de Randa in the middle of the island of Majorca. With its 543 meters the Puig de Randa offers a radiant view over the island from the Tramuntana mountains in the north-west to the island of Cabrera in the south-east.

Philosopher and writer Ramon Llull (1235-1315) retreated in a cave on the mountain of Randa in the 13th century from his decadent life. He constructed a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Cura. Known in his time by the nicknames of Arabicus Christianus (Arab Christian), Inspiratus Doctor (Doctor Inspired) or Doctor Illuminatus (Doctor Lit), Llull was one of the most advanced thinkers in the field of spirituality, theology and literature of the Middle Ages. More hermits retreated on the mountain in the 14th century and inspired by Llull a century later a school was created. The mountain has kept attracting people with the desire to retreat for centuries and three monasteries were built over time. The actual santuary of our lady of Cura is composed of a church built in the 17th century, the Franciscan monastery (1917), the grammar room and the guest rooms, a remodelation of the cells of the linguistic students.

The Puig (top) de Randa is a very special place. You can feel the history, experience the solitude and many special places invite to meditate and reconnect with yourself like Ramon Llulls did 700 years ago.

You will stay in simple yet comfortable rooms with ensuite bathrooms in the monastary. Breakfast, lunch ans dinner will be served in the restaurant. The chapel is open for visting most of the time. A catholic mass will be held on Sundays.

The retreat: Ways to inner silence

Four day reatreat in a magical place. A break from hectic everyday life, far away from the daily routine. A deep connection with nature. Feel your self, reconnect with the source and regenerate your strength.

To discover and learn the source of strength “Silence” and how to integrate what you expereince in everyday life.

From getting up to going to sleep: facing everything with calmness. No hustle or haste. To recognize the unessential and eliminate it. Learning to give yourself breaks in everyday life and to celebrate these precious moments. A deep practice yoga practice will connect us with our body, will make us listen and will take us to unexplored levels of energy through this freedom enhancing experience
