LOVE AND ALL IS COMING - Embodied Practice 

300 HOUR ADVANCED TEACHER TRAINING 

The Love And All Is Coming Embodied Practice 300 Hour Advanced Teacher Training (LAAIC EP) is an invitation to delve into the heart, broaden the mind and through sincere understanding- embody the practice.

Led by LAAIC founder Talia Sutra, the training is rigorous, challenging and comprehensive. LAAIC EP integrates classical asana, mantra, chanting, meditation, philosophy and scriptural study as pillars to a life led by a deep desire for moksha- liberation from Self ignorance.

LAAIC trainings bring together practitioners from all over the world. Together, we develop the qualifications necessary for sincere Self inquiry, namely: a firm foundation and practice of the Yama and Niyama- ethical observances and restraints, Vivekah the capacity to discriminate, Vairagyah the ability to release attachment to the results of our efforts, Mumukshut a sincere and unyielding desire for liberation. 

What are the Requirements?

The LAAIC TT programs are challenging. They are challenging spiritually, mentally, emotionally, energetically and physically. 

Therefore, the most important requirement is the complete acknowledgment, acceptance and personal responsibility to meet, face and work with the challenge as it reveals itself. 

The second most important requirement is an earnest confidence in the practice and a sincere desire to share it. 

Third, all applicants must have a 200-hour certification from LAAIC or a Yoga Alliance approved 200-hour certification.

Lastly, it is recommended that all applicants have some experience with LAAIC instruction, such as attending classes or workshops with Talia Sutra in person or online at Taliasutra.com.
