If you’ve answered “yes” to any or all of the above, then you’ve come to the right place…
When you began your yoga practice, you were probably like most of us: You looked at it as a way to retreat from the world, heal pain, reduce stress, cure aches and illness, and improve your flexibility and fitness.
And that truly is a beautiful place to start.
Yet, as you evolve, there is a natural impulse to widen and deepen your practice so that it begins to change how you think, feel, move and act in the world – and relate to Spirit. You shift from being someone who “does” some yoga to someone who increasingly “is” a yogi.
Healing our bodies of chronic stress and fatigue is only the beginning of the evolutionary journey of a true yogi. Eventually, you can experience new depths of emotional intimacy and new levels of philanthropic service – and open to new creative possibilities and experiences of divine union that can liberate your soul.
You become RADICALLY RADIANT ~ no matter what else is going on in your life.
You see the miraculous in everyday, ordinary life.
And miracles do begin to appear!
When you have fully integrated yoga deep down into your bones, here is what begins to happen:
Someone who can integrate and LIVE the full spectrum of yoga is a “radiant yogi” because when you open to the full potentials, subtle currents of energies infuse and illumine your entire being.
And you become a magnet for vibrant, creative and awake people who want to partner and work with you and engage in long-term relationships. You start attracting a better life by virtue of the quality of life force that emanates from you.
As you become more radiant, other people respond to you in new ways, so you have more love reflected back at you.
It’s a joyful, powerful, amazing way to live!
The key to shifting from someone who does yoga for fitness or healing to someone who is a radiant yogi lies in an integrated approach that views every aspect of your life as an arena for deep and committed application of yogic principles.
That means in the bedroom and the boardroom, at school board meetings and in the kitchen. It’s about living, breathing and moving in a holistic, sacred and life-affirming way.
This is actually a relatively NEW phenomenon. In ancient traditions yoga idealized extended retreat from the world, with greater withdrawal into monasticism and renunciation encouraged.
But we are now in a new era for yogic practice, and the quintessential image of the ascetic monk is no longer the ideal. We’re finding ways to stay more deeply involved in LIFE, make bigger and better contributions to the world, love more deeply and powerfully, and stay connected with others while also evolving spiritually.
A truly radiant yogi is able to bring it all together in one transformative, blissful package.
But it takes time, skillful practice and great mentorship to transition into this evolutionary and luminous way of life.
The good news is that the Radiant Yogi Course is here to help you with your transformation and guide you on the journey to this new way of being.
With The Radiant Yogi Course, you will:
These things don’t happen overnight, but as you let yogic principles infuse every area of your life, you’ll experience a natural shedding of behaviors and habits that reflect a duller level of “vibration,” and instead attract those that reflect the next level of radiance and luminosity.
The real power of a yogic life is unleashed when you make the shift from passively witnessing positive changes to choosing to evolve ALL aspects of your life in an integral way. When you become intentional, you can blossom in a more rapid and fulfilling way.
At the root level, you begin to see yourself as a soul who has incarnated to learn, grow and serve. Your yogic practices become a means for advancing your soul’s work in a body.
Many of us recognize that the symptoms of distress that drove us to yoga (physical pain, addictions, burnout, scarcity, loneliness) are indicators of aspects of ourselves that need loving attention and soul-infused power.
Our on-the-mat practice becomes one of the primary sources to cultivate the awakened energy that we apply in all areas of our life. However, it doesn’t stop there.
You can source this awakened energy from your meditation practice, from nature, relationships, from a teacher (or student) – and even social activism. You can source this energy simply with the breath, or by feeling reverence from within.
That’s when LIFE simultaneously becomes your practice and your expression.
In the Radiant Yogi course, you will learn about eight different and complementary paths for living a yogic life, all of which work in a complementary fashion. Some are ancient paths you may be familiar with, others are born of yoga’s interface with the modern world and are only now emerging.
Together, they create a sacred synthesis that allows you to see your life as a mandala of awakening and transformation. You’ll approach each day yogically, whether you’re a stay-at-home mom juggling carpool and errands, CEO or hardworking therapist.
And if you’re a yoga teacher, you’ll not only get to revel in the many benefits personally, you’ll also be able to share them – illumining your classes with new inspiration, clarity and wisdom. (Additionally, living as a radiant yogi is one of the most powerful gifts you can give your students, as they can source awakened energy from YOU.)
This synthesis can apply to your work, personal relationships, connection to nature – and even your activism.
A truly committed yogi practices all these paths and realizes a far more balanced, holistic, grounded and sacred life.
After exploring more fully all eight paths, you may choose to emphasize one more than others – or even live one more than others for some years. But these paths will continue to enhance each other and strengthen your overall practice. They include:
During the Radiant Yogi program, you will learn the powerful gifts within the foundational principles and practices of each of these eight paths, as well as understand how to weave them together into a program tailored just for you.
Most practitioners begin with a single path, but then keep expanding to include others. Each new path adds flavor, richness and depth to your current practice – helping it expand to encompass your entire life. For example, Hatha Yoga can go way beyond exercise and fitness into the experience of true reverence and love of the body, especially as you complement it with Bhakti Yoga.
Even though we are all life-long students, learning to bring your radiant yogic nature to all areas of your life is far easier if you have a skilled teacher who understands the terrain and can provide guidance.
Dr. Laura Cornell is that wise guide. She not only holds a Ph.D. as a scholar, she is also a long-time yoga teacher, and founder of two respected pioneering groups: the Green Yoga Association and Divine Feminine Yoga. She hosted the 2014 Future of Yoga Summit, where many of yoga’s top teachers explored the growing edge of yoga in today’s world.
Early in her journey as a teacher, Laura realized that she needed to heal her relationship with nature, which evolved into an understanding of how yoga could also heal interpersonal relationships.
Over time, Laura recognized the deep complementarity of the different yogic paths and found great benefit in “cross-training” to address different imbalances and engage positively in the world. From this pioneering inquiry she has distilled the essential foundations, teachings and practices of the Radiant Yogi program.
In the 8-module Radiant Yogi course, Laura will guide you through the nuances of the fundamental skills and competencies that you’ll need to integrate yogic principles more deeply into each area of your life, so you can consistently experience yoga far beyond the studio.
Each contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next, giving you a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles of the radiant yogi.
Caring for your body is your most basic responsibility, which radiates outward, to your care of others and the planet. Yoga postures, or asanas, express your integral connection with all of existence – your body, others, animals and plants, and the entire cosmos.
Moving your body, stretching your soul, and breathwork expand the Self, and allow you to nurture and embrace divinity within and without. Every moment becomes an expression of your unity with all that is.
In this first session, you’ll learn how to:
Yogic traditions invite you to treat yourself, your relationships and the world with reverence, and to pray for the well-being of all. The greatest vow of a yogi is that of non-injury, or ahimsa, as a means for expressing your love.
Fostering reverence in all that you do is a sacred contribution that will serve the Divine in you, the planet and the cosmos. Imagine what your life can become when you deepen your daily reverence and devotion at work, with your loved ones – and in sacred service to the planet.
In this module, you will learn how to:
Inherent in yoga is the principle of union, or the non-duality of Spirit and matter, heaven and Earth, humans and nature. Wisdom is gained when you understand that you are one with the Earth, the cosmos and the divinity that supports you. When you experience yourself as inseparable from all others and the Earth, you expand the energy of your essence and become a conscious part of the cosmic pulse of life.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
As you learn to live more consciously, guided by your deepest values, you will begin to transform not only your own body and life, but also your relationship to others and the Earth. Through this yoga, the gems of wisdom are passed onto you as you learn conscious energy management to revitalize yourself and the planet every day. You will recognize an overflowing love of the world through this new consciousness that will overflow into your relationships and service in the world.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
A life lived out of cynicism, fear or anger is very tiring, and will have limited effects. Instead – when you dedicate every action, large or small, in service of the Divine – your actions are purified and flow naturally, and you experience peace and steadiness. As you lean into the intention of fostering a sense of service in your own life, your relationships to others and the planet will become healthier, and you will experience more joy, ease and effectiveness.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
Turning to nature as friend and teacher is a healing practice for the soul that will orient you to the trees, stars, galaxies and all of humanity as one interconnected web. Consciously connecting with the amazing diversity of the Sacred as it manifests in birds, flowers, trees, rivers and mountains is an essential practice for healing yourself and the planet. Using your senses to absorb all that is available in your environment, you will gain a spiritual richness and a deeper connection to yourself, others and the planet.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
Conscious connection fosters a sense of community that can help heal the tremendous isolation of our age. Those who come together generate growth and conscious living practices, provide support and assistance, and give back to each other and the Earth through teaching and practicing of compassion. Conscious community is the best tool we have to evolve our species and planet for the better! We will need this more and more over the next 100 years, as ecological and economic shifts continue to emerge.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
Tantra recognizes the Divinity of all that pulses through you and the world, and it affirms the possibility of spiritual realization with a focus on being in the world, rather than pulling away from it. By embracing and unifying the opposites – Spirit and nature, male and female, light and dark, grief and joy – you unify the disparate parts of yourself. By honoring the immanent (feminine) and transcendent (male) energies of yourself and the cosmos, you can move toward spiritual transcendence and an underlying sense of both peace and ecstatic bliss.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
