After several years of development, we’re proud to offer the following programs which, we feel, are the most comprehensive of their kind in the world.
PRINCIPLES
Artist: Karen MacKenzie
At NaiAsa Institute, we recognize and operate from the following principles:
Virtually all of the “problems” that show up in a person’s life (physical, emotional, mental, social, professional, romantic, financial) are merely symptoms from core imbalance and limiting beliefs.
When balance is restored at the root, harmony, healing, and flow will happen naturally in the periphery.
The most common “root” imbalance in the modern world is energetic with yang energies dominating yin energies, resulting in a disharmonious flow of the Sacred Feminine & Masculine.
We believe that in the balancing of these energies, coupled with clear vision, purpose & commitment inside of a loving community, people thrive with joy, ease & flow.
The purpose of these programs is to provide training and certification for individuals eager to lead the new paradigms of healing, relating, and living that the future is calling for.
CURRICULUM
The curriculum of each program emanates from a construct of these 5 essential elements:
AIR (Science) - This element invites theoretical study and curious exploration to cultivate wisdom, inspiration, knowledge, intention, and clear vision. Candidates will devote scholarly study of and within the realms of neuroscience, cosmology, language & ancient philosophies (Koshas, Indigenous Medicine Wheel, etc.)
EARTH (Soma) - The Earth element roots the formless into form, and honors physical experience through all sensory systems as a crucial way of “knowing” and “discerning.” Candidates will learn how to create safe and strong containers for healing and embodied transformation to occur for themselves and for their clients.
WATER (Sacred FeminYinity) - According to many cultures, water is considered the most feminine/yin and the most powerful of all the elements. Water rules the realm of emotionality, sensuality, relationships, and the art of flow. Research has confirmed that relationship is more important for the healing journey than any techniques used by a therapist, psychologist, physician, counselor, and beyond. This is also the component that seems to get the least attention in most Western-based, health professional training programs. Because NaiAsa Teachers & Coaches are also healers, candidates will cultivate those essential qualities of presence, playfulness, compassion, and beyond to cultivate nurturing relationships that naturally propel clients forward in a balanced, and organic way.
FIRE (Soul Expression) - Fire is the element that ignites action and transformation. NaiAsa Teachers & Coaches will be skilled in and committed to having their students & clients prioritize that which matters most and is aligned with purpose at the soul level. And yes, for those wondering, fire-dancing definitely plays a significant part in setting our programs apart from any and all others (this aspect of our trainings is dependent on COVID-19 related restrictions).
SPIRIT (Seva) - Seva is the sanskrit word for “selfless service.” Seva is also an important key to sustainability in the new world. Conscious surrender and REST are the final vital parts of every learning cycle and necessary for integration and restoration. NaiAsa Institute has designed this training program (and all programs) to include both Seva and relaxed integration time as essential elements of not only the training, but also the bigger vision of NaiAsa.
overview of training paths*
NaiAsa Institute Training Programs consists of 3 paths which can be taken in any order:
Path 1: NeuroSomatic Flow™ (NSF) FOUNDATIONS TEACHER TRAINING | registration available now for the spring 2021 program
PURPOSE: The purpose of this program is to train and educate professionals to teach and share the “medicine of flow” in any environment, from clinical to corporate, or even at home with your children.
CREDIT HOURS: 100+
Studies have shown that just five minutes a day of “juggling” or “dance” movement will increase brain mass, synaptic connectivity, reduce anxiety, and help overcome depression. The “flow arts” is a rapidly emerging field proving to be one of the most powerful transformative and healing somatic practices. Please click here to learn more about the rising number of studies revealing therapeutic benefits, including neuro-protective effects, especially in the aging population.
For professionals in therapy, health science, corporate coaching, movement arts, fitness, and yoga, this program allows them to expand their practice to include flow movement specifically designed to unlock areas in the brain where traditional therapies don’t focus. Our NeuroSomatic Flow™ certified teachers are trained and skilled to work in any environment, from clinical to corporate. Combined with modalities that nurture the inner child, the Therapeutic Flow Arts path offers professionals a powerful addition to their current practice.
Within this Path, there are 4 modules:

On this unique journey, you’ll be introduced to a highly integrative coaching model & process created by a female neuroscientist proven to facilitate healing, transformation, and manifestation on many levels. This program combines the benefits of yoga, dance, flow, and coaching (life purpose, passion, health, money, relationship, and spiritual) - all-in-one! - to achieve balance, fulfillment, and most importantly, AWAKENING to your purest, truest, Sacred Feminine essence.
What makes this unique, even from previous editions of the program, is the debut of The Goddess Brain™ curriculum, based on ground-breaking ideas which was first presented by Dr. Jinju at Wanderlust 2019, shared thereafter on many podcasts, and to be the focus of her upcoming book.
Because of its unique curriculum, this journey is only offered to women at this time and is a pre-requisite for Goddess Brain™ Coach & Educator certification.

What is a Goddess Brain™ Coach & Educator?
This inaugural training is specifically for women who are seeking not only to develop their facilitation skills, but importantly, a tribe to move mountains with… and birth the bigger vision of NaiAsa to serve as many communities as we possibly can.
To be a NaiAsa Institute-certified, Goddess Brain™ Coach & Educator (the highest certification you can get), you must be able to demonstrate knowledge, presentation skills, mastery of flow foundations, applications of learned theories, facilitation skills, and the ability to create accountability and trust.
As a result of investing time, energy, and resources into this comprehensive program, graduates will not just be coaches . . . . they will be NaiAsa Institute Coaches which means they:
Are Healers, Spiritual Counselors, Educators, Soultrepreneurs, Leaders, and Stewards of Global Change
Have mastered theoretical AND experiential concepts of neuroscience & flow psychology
Have the equivalent of a Masters Degree that rivals the best of any programs out there
Have transcended the illusion of separateness that pervades society today
Are focused more on how people FEEL as opposed to how much they KNOW
See how the unlocking of the Sacred Feminine within each (no matter if you’re a man or woman) is a path to heal the planet
Cultivate harmony between science and spirituality, technology and nature, and yin and yang principles
Utilize a more Harmonious Approach to Coaching balanced in the Masculine & Feminine Energies (Especially for women to remember the power of NOT forcing, but rather ALLOWING their dreams to manifest & unfold. Our 9-month coaching journey is a case in point of what’s possible without the masculine pressures & too linear)
Above all, however, is the paradigm shift from the more linear, rigid, ways of facilitating transformation to being more balanced, circular, flowing, intuitive styles of coaching, that powerfully guide their clients home, not just to their bodies, but equally importantly, to living a life aligned with their hearts, their bliss, and clarity on what ignites their soul.
to be achieve the goddess Brain™ coach & educator certification, you’ll need to complete all 3 PATHS.*
