Our Mission Our certified teacher-training program will teach the profound wisdom of Hatha Yoga, creating a solid and well-rounded foundation in the art of teaching yoga. Through the graceful flow of the yoga asanas we will teach students how to create a yoga class that will be both challenging and invigorating. Our training will focus on the finer points of alignment that will assist in our students ability to understand individual bodies and how to teach with great technical skills. We are committed to providing each student with the necessary tools to teach with compassion, integrity and knowledge while honoring their own internal wisdom, and authentic voice. Each student will leave with confidence that they are ready to teach yoga to all students regardless of age, physical fitness, or injuries. Theory and Practice of Yoga This foundational training will emphasize deepening the students’ personal asana practice, which we believe to be the greatest source for creative teaching. In addition to a strong asana practice there will be a comprehensive study of the techniques and mechanics of fundamental yoga postures, while providing the tools necessary to teach yoga to others. To facilitate a more scientific understanding of the body, the training will include the study of functional anatomy and physiology. The training will also give developing teachers a balanced understanding of yoga by moving beyond the physical with the study of Vippasana meditation, (encouraging students to develop a daily meditation practice at home), a deep understanding of Pranayama, and an exploration of the Chakras, Naulis, Kriyas, Dristhi and Bandhas.

Yoga Philosophy Over 2,000 years ago the sage Patanjali described the process of Yoga as a way to reach higher consciousness and peace in his writings known as The Yoga Sutras. These sutras (written as aphorisms) help to deepen the awareness of our relationship with ourselves, with others, and with our environment. We will cover the following historical texts and yoga masters: The Yoga Sutras- Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga
Theory and Practice of Teaching The art of teaching requires a great level of sensitivity, compassion and practice. A teacher must encourage and inspire, being sensitive to both the needs of individuals as well as those of the group. The practical and subtle aspects involved in teaching will include: How to be an effective teacher
