Live a full month to the rhythm of the sacred science of yoga and listening to yourself. The recipe for this intense experience? Indian teachers, individual progress, a peaceful environment between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea where you will form long-lasting friendships.
Activities
- Asanas: Asana (posture) is a Sanskrit word which means comfortable sitting. They are practiced to sit in meditation without discomfort.
- Pranayama: Pranayama is much more than a breathing exercise. "Prana" means breath and "Ayama" means control and expansion; so pranayama means: to concentrate energy to better directly and increase it.
- Mantra Chanting: the vibration of the primordial sounds of mantras helps the union of body and mind.
- Alignments: the role of a yoga teacher is to position the student in perfect alignment, ie an effortless support of the body while respecting everyone's structure. You will focus on the various adjustments that will allow progress to be made towards this alignment.
- Meditation: Observing your breathing allows to calm your thoughts, and therefore to calm your "monkey mind". Coinspire teaches this age-old technique, common to yoga and Buddhism. In addition to this meditation which comes from the Himalayas, co.inspire also approach the techniques of sound meditation with Tibetan bowls, the process of yoga Nidra, and also meditative healing techniques.
- Teaching methodology: the methodology, in a benevolent environment for the students, gives the tools to build lessons on different themes, create a benevolent atmosphere in the class, introduce different yoga practices, develop a relationship of trust student teacher, and increase self-awareness .
- Anatomy and physiology of yoga: link the body's mechanisms and the postures studied. It is also important to link anatomy and philosophy: "all that is above is like that which is below"
- Philosophy of yoga: beyond the systemic study of the subtle bodies, co.inspire study the principles of yogic life as they are described in the Bhagavad Gita and the yoga sutras of Patanjali.
- Kinesiology or the art of healing stress: the body speaks to you, provided you know how to interpret its messages. It speaks both in terms of chronic pain and somatization. And if it is expressed in pain, it can also help you understand yourself in a much softer way through muscle biofeedback. Ever since childhood, one lives painful emotional experiences which are forgotten but nevertheless active and therefore put in place, subconsciously, conditioning and neglect. Your history is memorized at the cellular level and it is enough to interrogate the body to have access to it.
- Emotional body language means the integration of body, mind and spirit. The purpose of this art of healing is to identify and correct energy blocks as they appear in the present, both physically and psychically, in order to free the mind from conditioned belief systems that limit our perception in all areas of life.
- Gordon Stokes, creator of a kinesiology current said: "To summarize the nature of what we do: we defuse the emotions of the past that block perceptions of the present: if we do not defuse the causes of the problem in the past , no action taken in the present survives the next similar stress."
- Coinspire invites you to discover this additional tool to become ever more aware of your conditioning, and detach yourself from it. 20 hours of optional courses spread over the duration of the long course (28 days).

The Wise Swamis
- Swami Vivekananda: First Indian swami to travel to the United States in 1893. As he puts it: “We are what our thoughts made of us; so take care of your thoughts. Words are secondary. Thoughts live and travel far. Every soul is potentially divine. The goal is to show this divinity by controlling its exterior and interior nature. Do this through work or prayer or psychic control, or philosophy - through one or more books or in temples or in any other form, these are just minor details."
- Swami Satyananda Saraswati: Founder of the Bihar school of yoga and disciple of Sivananda. As he said: "Yoga is not an ancient myth that has been forgotten. It is the most important legacy of the present. It is an essential need of today and of the culture of tomorrow. Whatever binds or limits you, free yourself now. There is nothing in the outside world, no person, no condition, no circumstance that can take your freedom from your mind. Instead of wishing to be free, to live your life differently, accept now, that in truth you are free, free to change your way of thinking, free to change your way of seeing life, free to be whatever you want to be. Make this day a day of freedom, spiritual freedom. Declare yourself free from anxiety and fear, and free from all limiting beliefs."
