22 CEUs or Core Curriculum for the Aligned Flow® 300 hour YTT
In this transformative course, you will learn how to align with the subtle body by integrating energy tools, meditation practices, pranayama (breathing techniques), and mantras into your daily life and teaching practice. This module is designed to empower you with practical techniques to not only care for yourself but also offer profound tools for stress reduction, emotional balance, and self-reflection to your students.
By engaging with these practices, you will develop a deeper understanding of the energetic systems within the body and how they influence both your physical and emotional well-being. This knowledge will help you guide your students to greater balance, clarity, and peace, both on and off the mat.
Key Skills and Techniques You Will Learn:
-
Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Energy
As a teacher, it's vital to maintain clear boundaries so that you can care for others without feeling drained or taking on their emotional or energetic burdens. This course will provide you with the tools to establish and maintain strong energetic boundaries, ensuring you can give from a place of abundance rather than depletion. You’ll learn how to energetically protect yourself while remaining open and compassionate to others. -
Building a Sustainable Meditation Practice
Meditation can be one of the most powerful practices for self-care, but many people struggle to maintain a regular routine. In this course, we’ll explore various meditation techniques, helping you find a practice that not only supports you but is so nourishing that you crave it every day. You'll learn how to incorporate mindfulness and meditation into your life in a way that feels accessible, grounding, and deeply fulfilling. -
Breathing Techniques & Pranayama for Balance
Breathing is a powerful tool to regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and create balance in the body. You will explore various pranayama techniques that help balance your brain and nervous system, reduce stress, and create mental clarity. These practices will also be tools you can teach your students to support their own well-being. -
Releasing Stagnant Energy
Many of us hold on to energy that no longer serves us, which can leave us feeling weighed down and stuck in repetitive patterns. Through energetic tools, visualization, and breathwork, you will learn how to release this stagnant energy, allowing you to move forward from a more clear, grounded, and rejuvenated place. -
Calling Back Your Own Energy
We often give our energy away—whether through our work, relationships, or emotional labor—leaving us feeling depleted. You will learn how to call back your energy, reclaiming your own life force to restore balance and vitality. This practice will allow you to show up as your fullest, most vibrant self, both in your personal life and in your teaching. -
Holding Space for Meditation
As a teacher, learning how to hold space for meditation is an essential skill. You will practice creating a supportive and safe environment for your students to enter into deep states of meditation. You will also learn the nuances of guiding students through different types of meditation techniques, helping them access inner stillness and clarity.
By the end of this course, you will feel confident in your ability to use energetic tools, meditation, pranayama, and mantras to support yourself and your students in reducing stress, increasing clarity, and creating a more balanced, energized life. You will have a deeper understanding of how to align with your subtle body, cultivate a sustainable meditation practice, and hold space for transformative experiences both for yourself and in your teaching.

We will begin with opening prayers, meditation and the Crystal bowls playing in harmony and binaural beats. We all struggle with changing our patterns, beliefs and creating something different from what we know. This time together allows for an expanded state of consciousness that moves us beyond the limits of what we know, bringing us to new heights and expanded states within being. Returning in the completion of this time we feel a sense of renewal and space where we weren't aware of before.
Bring items for lying on the floor comfortably, Yoga Matt, pillow, blanket or whatever you need to relax.

Angela Cays has been working towards transforming suffering and empowering others for decades as a high school math teacher and tutor; licensed professional counselor (LPC) with adults, teens, groups and couples; and as a yoga instructor since the fall of 2006. She guides her students to reveal light and shadow, to become more fully embodied and aware of all layers of our being (koshas); to awaken intuition, life force energy (prana), and touch moments of deep peace as well as great expansion.
Her continued education as a counselor and yoga instructor led her deeper into the subtle body through learning modules in her advanced yoga teacher training with Sheryl and Neil Edsall at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA on Psychotherapy and Spirituality, as well as Psychology of the Chakras, Mind Body Integration, and Creating on Purpose with Anodea Judith. Having a spark of curiosity about Reiki when she first started taking yoga classes, it was about 20 years later, as a continuation of studying and working with the subtle body, she received her Level I, Level II and Reiki Master training and attunements from her beloved teacher, Sheryl Edsall, along with the radiant Eileen Alexander.
Angela benefits deeply from practicing Reiki for self-care in addition to sharing this healing modality with others. Through many years of studying and teaching yoga, and receiving the Reiki attunements, she continues to develop a more heightened awareness of subtle body energy. She feels honored to hold a sacred space for healing and growth through the universal energy of Reiki, as well as her group yoga classes, workshops and kirtans, private yoga, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping, and psychotherapy sessions.
