Teacher Training 200-hour program
January 22 - November 21, 2010

Teaching yoga is, fundamentally, an expression of your personal experience - not only your experience on the yoga mat but also your experience of life, of being with people, and of communicating as a teacher.

The Teacher Training 200 Program will:

Prepare you to teach Hatha yoga classes from Beginners up through Level II.
Deepen your yoga practice, your understanding of yogic principles, mentor you to become an effective and inspiring teacher.
Qualify you to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher at
the 200 hour level (RYT200).
Provide direct experience with senior teachers through apprenticeship.

This program focuses on the fundamentals of yoga and teaching shared by all traditions. We align with root aspects of yoga, breath, meditation, intention, and service which give rise to the various schools and styles. In this student-centered program, we encourage you to discover your evolutionary path. The program covers the history and philosophy of yoga, asanas, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, physiology and adjustments. Creativity and personal exploration will be encouraged as you deepen your practice and develop your teaching skills.

This program will be fun, challenging, playfully serious and seriously playful.

Through in-depth studies of the affirmative philosophy that underlies Anusara Yoga® celebrating the fullness of life and embracing a deeper understanding of the Universal Principles of Alignment™, you will grow in your practice and into your heart.
