More than a yoga teacher training, this is also a self-healing and character-building program with an emphasis on yogic lifestyle, philosophy, meditation and holistic health.
Other topics will include strategic class planning, sequencing, and delivery. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of student safety and how to best promote it utilizing effective cueing; and the Art and Science of adaptable yoga teaching.
Theme-weaving, advanced yoga philosophy, Sanskrit, advanced Pranayama and Asana, and yogic business planning are just a few of the topics covered. This is a very hands-on training with daily peer teaching, interactive group discussions, the opportunity to teach 3 full yoga classes, and design your own Retreat or Workshop Series.
