Over the years, many have asked about wanting to do teacher training to gain a deeper knowledge of Yoga, but they don’t want to teach. So, we have altered our training curriculum into 2 modules. In order to receive a 200 hour certificate to teach Yoga, you must register for the full training (Module I & II), but if you just want to learn more about the what, why and how of Yoga and take your practice deeper, you can sign up for Module I only. Module I is a comprehensive introduction to Yoga and is for those who want all the knowledge in order to enhance their own practice (which is, honstely, a great place for an aspiring teacher to start), and Module II is specifically for those who want to learn how to share that knowledge with the world through the art of teaching.

***POSTPONED UNTIL SATURDAY, JAN. 27TH DUE TO ADVERSE ROAD CONDITIONS***

MODULE I

YOGA AS A PRACTICE, A PHILOSOPHY & A WAY OF LIFE

MODULE I (YTT or CE) *CAN PARTICIPATE ONLINE

Yoga is a discipline aimed at helping us access our full human potential—physically, mentally and spiritually.  Through the development of awareness and the intelligent use of Yogic tools (such as asana, pranayama, meditation etc.), we can tap into our innate wisdom for the betterment of ourselves and the world.  This training will help you to understand Yoga as a practice, a discipline, and a way of life; as well as provide an environment for you to better understand your Self. This course provides a comprehensive background in Yoga—designed for practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the true meaning and purpose of this practice as well as teachers who want to be able lead from a place of knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

LEARNING THROUGH LEADING: A 9 DAY TEACHER TRAINING IMMERSION

(PRE-REQUISITE: MODULE I)

During this 9 day retreat, we will take the knowledge and experiential wisdom that you gain from Module I and help you uncover and develop your own individual teaching style and guide you to share Yoga in a way that feels authentic. The variety of ways that Yoga can and has been practiced is as diverse as the countless, unique humans who have delved into it over millenia. For that reason, we don’t think there’s one single right way to practice or to teach. What is most important to us is that whatever is taught maintains the core philosophy that is Yoga. That core intention is what makes a physical asana practice feel like more than just a workout, because you will lead from the core understanding that the physical practice is just a vehicle. It’s not the destination. And it’s not even the only vehicle!
