YOUR AMAZING FACILITATION SENIOR TEACHER TRAINING TEAM
About Swami Muktibodhanda:
"I found yoga in 1972 as an adjunct to classical ballet and soon realised that the
major benefits of yoga practise for me
were at an emotional and psychological
level. I was fortunate to meet
Paramahansa Swami Satyänanda in 1976
at the Sydney World Yoga Convention and
so I travelled to
India to
study under his direct guidance. For 10 years I lived at the
Bihär School of Yoga, Munger, practising
and teaching various aspects of yoga.
During this time I also authored 'Swara
Yoga, the Tantric Science of Brain Breathing' and commentaries on 'Hatha
Yoga Pradipika, the Light on Hatha Yoga', the C15 AD Sanskrit text by Yogi
Swätmarama. Both of these books are Bihar School of Yoga publications. In 1986
Ihad to
leave India and
return to Australia, where my base has been ever since.
Paramahansa Swämi Niranjanãnanda
gave me the title of Yogächarya, master of yoga, in 1993.
I continue learning about mind and self and in the last few years Istudied with the
William Glasser Institute Australia (WGIA). I find the principles of Choice Theory and
methods of understanding yourself through Reality Theory analogous with yoga principles. The other modality I have

methods of understanding yourself through Reality Theory analogous with yoga principles. The other modality I have
been studying is Esoteric Chakra- puncture; a highly effective process to deepen your experience of your higher self
and naturally dissolve negative
tendencies. This process is like a spontaneous yoga nidra facilitated by the application of fine Japanese acupuncture needles.
While in Brisbane I teach regular yoga and meditation classes in Forest Lake and at
other times I travel teaching workshops and retreats locally, interstate and abroad.
My goal is to bring the ancient yoga practices into the modern day context."
MEET LEANNE
Leanne started practicing yoga in 2011 in Vancouver BC. Although she didn’t know at the time, she sampled many different styles, specifically hatha, kundalini and vinyasa. Her yoga journey finally began to deepen in 2013 when she became a daily practitioner of Bikram yoga. Before yoga, she could hardly touch her toes! Leanne was a classic gym/runner and non-stretcher.
After a regular practice for many months, she wanted to dive into a Yoga Teacher Training. Leanne was already in study to become a Traditional Chinese medicine Practitioner - studying acupuncture and herbology, but loved yoga and needed to learn more.

After a regular practice for many months, she wanted to dive into a Yoga Teacher Training. Leanne was already in study to become a Traditional Chinese medicine Practitioner - studying acupuncture and herbology, but loved yoga and needed to learn more.
At the beginning of 2015, she began a short teaching intensive to start the journey. She took a Strala Teaching Intensive with Tara Stiles. Strala is a modern yoga style incorporating Vinyasa with Qi Gong theory.
After that intensive, Leanne joined a full 200 hour YTT later that year in Karma yoga. After the Strala training, Leanne had stopped Bikram and started practicing Dharma and Vinyasa. Her first 200 hour course was a Vinyasa focus with Yin element to give understanding on the opposite theories. Her lead teacher in this program was a Vinyasa trained with heavy influence in Ashtanga - which is the blueprint of how Leanne teaches today.
After moving to Australia, Leanne went back to NYC in 2018 to study her 500 hour program with Sri Dharma Mittra. While in Vancouver, she learnt that her favourite style to practice was the Dharma lineage. She was so excited and humbled to train under Yogi master himself 80 year old Sri Dharma Mittra. This took her philosophy interest to the next level and her favourite part of the advanced training was the Spiritual discourse lead by Sri Dharma himself.
Within these studies and after, Leanne has studied short courses in Yin, Tantra theory as well as sat her first 10 day silent Vipassana meditation. She is, like all yoga teachers, a forever student, and most recently spent time studying with philosopher Carlos Pomeda in yoga history, philosophy and Tantra + Noelle Connolly in advanced sequencing and energetics.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM LEANNE?
Leanne is looking forward to talking about ancient philosophy, and how we can apply it to our daily lives now. How do we apply this in our teaching? What does science say today? Expect her philosophy teaching to be rooted in a practical manner, with easy to add application into your teaching and your life. We will take a more in depth look at the scriptures, and how to pick apart the intelligence to create empowering sequences.
Expect to learn more advanced Pranayama and meditation techniques, while simplifying it into your own personal practice. Understand the meridian theory when teaching Yin to understand if the sequence makes sense for your theme. And above all - how to find your Dharma. How to find your unique purpose and message as a teacher. We all have unique experiences which make us all valuable teachers. Helping the students find their Dharma and confidence gives Leanne so much joy.
