In this one week residential training yoga teachers, yoga students, clinicians, pastoral care professionals and contemplatives from other traditions who also enjoy yoga will be invited into the heart of yoga as a mystic practice.

We will learn and practice specific techniques, philosophies and rituals from both the Hindu knowledge stream and from the Christian contemplative traditions in order to experience a full opening into the mystery and wonder that is the “Divine” by whatever name she might be called.

We will also dive into the philosophies and practices that define Integrated Movement Therapy, giving yoga teachers, yoga therapists, clinicians, pastors and spiritual directors hands on tools to promote an experience of profound healing and wholeness in the people with whom they work.

About the Teacher: Molly Lannon Kenny
Molly-Lannon-Kenny-Samarya-Center

Molly Lannon Kenny has been on the path to fulfilling her dharma since her earliest memories.  As a child, her parents would frequently take her and her brothers and sisters to the bookstore and let them wander for hours, lost in the magic of words and pictures.  Molly often found herself sitting cross legged, flipping through BKS Iyengar’s Light on Yoga, intrigued and entranced by the photos and the mystery behind them.  As a child, she was both physical and flexible, and often heard “you should do yoga!” from the adults around her, although it had very little meaning to her, but in fact, was most likely what sent her to the Yoga section of the bookstore in the seventies, long before Yoga was so widely accepted and practiced in the United States.

Life brought her many opportunities to share her fire and to realize her dream, but it was only when she discovered Yoga as a practice, rather than an odd set of circus tricks, did her specific path become clear to her.  Molly has been teaching Yoga to all levels of practitioners for over ten years, and has worked tirelessly to create outreach programs to people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience joy and contentment through the timeless teachings of Yoga.

In 2001, she founded The Samarya Center for Humankind (ness), a 501 c 3 non-profit organization dedicated to individual transformation and radical social change. She created, published and trademarked a unique therapy method, Integrated Movement Therapy, built on these same principles of acceptance and inclusion.  She has written and taught extensively on the topics of Yoga as Therapy and Yoga as a means to individual and social change, and is widely known as a vibrant, funny, accessible teacher, with a heart of gold and a spirit of fire.
