You can start with minimal experience in yoga! We promise you will finish with all the necessary skills to excel!
This training program covers all the basics without overwhelming the mind for a soft entry into your yoga journey.
Your training will begin with an in-depth study of Sun Salutations and the standing series of Ashtanga. This is an excellent beginners' series and can lay the foundation for gentle forms of yoga sequencing or prepare the student for more advanced asana expressions. We also begin exploring your unique voice through scripting and opportunities to practice teach.
For the final portion of the training, students will learn seated vinyasa, over half the primary asana, and a finishing series complete with breathing exercises and meditation techniques. This will prepare teachers to be able to not only teach introductory classes but also complete 60-75 min beginners/intermediate!
Introduction to yoga assists will be covered to prepare the student for various clinics and practicums.
This program will also feature select Guest Trainers to cover topics such as:
-
Functional Anatomy & Kinesiology, the Art of Recovery, and an Introduction to Yoga Philosophy with Holly Anderson
