The Confluence
                                 With Claire Missingham

                    Professional Development Programme 2021

    Vedic Philosophy, Intellectual Integration and Creative Yoga Exploration

The Confluence is a brand new way of integrating your skills from your creativity, past
careers and future potential. This programme aims to get you thinking in a highly
curious manner, while simultaneously offering practical skills for your professional
development. The name of the programme derives from the confluence of rivers in India,
one hidden (potential), one is creativity and the other is spirituality in motion. Saraswati
is Brahma, Yamuna is Vishnu, and Ganga is Shiva.

All your life experiences up to this point matter, your story matters and your work is
important, contrary to how this may have been perceived during the pandemic.

The Confluence is a Digital Svadyaya Course that allows you to immerse yourself in
meditation techniques, traditional yoga techniques and learn advanced esoteric
anatomy while using online learning technologies so you can self direct your absorption
of the material. You can choose to participate in the live classes or take the whole
programme in your own time.

The programme also teaches practical, transferable skills, and mentors you personally to
what your next authentic step is for your career. Drawing on research in yogic studies,
women’s empowerment (imperative to understand no matter what gender, or none, you
identify with!) this training offers an in depth, wisdom based study into how to develop
your knowledge, theoretical ability and understanding of what you have to offer within
the world. We draw from traditional Indian philosophy textual study and analysis as well
as giving you the confidence to lead from your heart and be confident in your skills and
ability to find your niche career space, online or in person within the global wellbeing
sector post-pandemic.

Each week you are offered a 90 minute practice session with Claire Missingham: asana,
kriya, meditation, theory and each with a specific theme based on the 3 Modules. You
then experience a lecture and Q&A.

Contrary to the notion that yoga, health awareness and mental wellbeing is ‘non-
essential’, studies are showing that these considerations are, in fact, essential. Therefore,
post-pandemic your work within the sector will contribute to community health and
fitness and help relieve the strain on the public health sector and revive the health,
fitness and wellbeing industry again.

The Confluence is delivered as:

• Live Classes participation (Zoom with recording embed), we use the Thinkific
  platform.
• Breakout rooms where you meet your Satsang on a more intimate basis for discussion
  (if joining the live calls).
• Self-directed online learning tasks to complete, including reading and writing &
  meditation and kriya practice.
• Assessed (short) written work and a final video hand-in, all within the learning portal.

The longevity of your next step career wise, is in your ability to facilitate well, to
understand that this is continual Svadyaya, and that you can be radically different from
other offerings, even when you stay close to yogic traditions.

The theories and knowledge you gain on this programme will set you up for life and
equip you with the tools to be confident, creative and build a real community that
sustains you for a lifetime.

Ganga: The Flow
Alignment

1.) Choreograph - 3 step sequencing: Asana, Main Nadis, 9 Drishtis, planes of movement,
3 main pranayam techniques and use of 3 kriyas per class.

2.) Creation liberation (Moksha) through how each class is created. Learn story arcing
and the step by step process of intelligent sequencing (not asana!) that stays clearly with
the focus of the particular class. Maa Ganga is said to facilitate Moksha (liberation).

3.) Contextualise the physical asana of yoga through traditional texts. How to use the A-
U-M, then silence (Turiya)cycle as the basis for 3-step krama. This is the first foundation
for understanding why you are teaching what you are teaching - these 3 steps together
create the Flow.

Yamuna: The Inner Potential of Prana
Awakening

Yamuna is said to be where Krishna resided from a baby, and Krishna is full of potential,
playfulness and prana! We will bring out your personal potential through these wisdom
teachings. You may know these concepts well, yet this will mentor you through the
process of actually knowing how to teach them, not just get it yourself.

We explore the 5 aspects of esoteric prana and understand the hinderances and how to
teach these concepts in a practical and enjoyable manner. You will be asked to learn
these theories in practical, esoteric and intellectual exercises.

How to teach with skill the concepts of yogic texts covering:

1.) Panca Vayus
2.) Panca Koshas
3.) Panca Kleshas

Saraswati: The Creative Focus
Embodiment

The river of wisdom, knowledge, enlightment & inspiration. The Vedas says it is holiest
river having healing touch, it purifies and fertilises the earth. The Vedic schools thrived
on the banks of Saraswati & sacred rituals were performed so this aspect of the
programme is the development of your own sacred creativity and focus/niche, not just
business but to create and connect and how to teach this skill.

1.) Upanishad: “To Sit Down Together”: create your tribe and keep your community
strong. Know the skills you need to deliver strong, focused and beautiful offerings that
build your income too.
2.) Gita: “Sacred Song”: Know your unique voice and learn how to sing it, so you have
stability, confidence and truth behind your words as a teacher.
3.) Sutra: “Sacred Thread”: Tie it all together. Work out how you are going to deliver your
dharma through all challenges: online and in person be a truly inspirational facilitator
and teacher.
