Look up at night into the unimaginable space and you can see the Milky Way. The new moon allows our eyes to penetrate a bit deeper into the inky void, and if we are watching with awareness we can notice a shift. Last week the equinox marked a change in seasons, and now our bodies are beginning to react.
Since our last newsletter, we have completed a 200hr teacher training in the Sacred Valley and a 300hr teacher training in the Jungle of Peru. We also had our first ever Facilitation Intensive, which drew a full class and was a huge success. Keep an eye out for our new video: an in-depth look at the care we take in developing our facilitators. Our next Intensive will be at the Yoga Forest from January 2-7, 2017 and is open to all who are looking to deepen and improve their ability to lead and work with groups.
In alignment with the recent passing of the equinox, at Kula we've been shifting and changing ourselves. Just last week all eight of us came together for our bi-annual reunion: an intense (and mushy!) Crystal Clear Board Retreat. We went in knowing some things had to be re-imagined, but unclear how we could do it. After four full days we emerged with an innovative structure that more clearly reflects our vision, new programs to expand our ever-growing tribe, and a reminder that to achieve our mission of global spiritual awakening we ourselves must awaken far beyond our own expectations.
Aligned with the theme of the recent equinox we are reorganizing and
planting new seeds this new moon, which we are excited to share with you in the coming months. In the meantime, check out our new additions to our calendar!
By staying connected to the nature that surrounds us, we are able to connect more clearly with our Selves and our Kula.

300 Hours of Yoga + Turning Inward
by Sena Shellenberger
I'm currently sitting in the sweetest hotel room ever in Ollantaytambo, Peru which is in the Sacred Valley about 1.5 hours from Cuzco. Two days ago I completed my 300 hour yoga teacher training course with Kula Collective, and I have so much information to process and integrate. It exceeded my expectations for the amount of learning, self-growth and the amazing tribe we formed, and it was a beautiful initiation into the next part of my path.
