READY TO DIVE IN?
JOIN US FOR A SPRING 200-HR TEACHER TRAINING
If you are considering yoga teacher training, you likely have already experienced the profound physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of practicing yoga. Perhaps you’ve been taking classes for a year – or even 10 years! – and you’ve found that you’re craving something more than the 60-minute studio class experience. You want to surpass your limitations, increase your connection with your body, and gain a better understanding of yourself. You feel passionate about yoga and want to expand your knowledge of the practice to safely and effectively share it with others, to uplift your community.
Enrolling in a yoga teacher training can be one of the biggest and best decisions of your life! Through consistent practice with a community of your peers, you’ll evolve as a person, practitioner, and teacher. During the immersion you’ll grow physically, mentally, and spiritually as you experience the benefits of a consistent asana and meditation practice; becoming more flexible in your body and mind. You’ll also gain a deeper connection to yourself and others, making lifelong friends as you reflect upon yoga’s philosophical wisdom with your group, exploring what it means to be human, and gradually stepping into the role of a yoga teacher. It will be tough at times, but you’ll have plenty of new friends to help you get through. This experience can even change how you relate to challenges – expanding your perspective into one of growth-mindedness, trust in divine timing, and a greater sense of purpose. When you cross the finish line, you’ll have a better understanding of who you are. You’ll walk away from this training with real skills that you can share with others for the rest of your life!
“While we teach, we learn” – Seneca, Roman Philosopher.
In our training, you’ll get lots of teaching experience. In fact, we start peer teaching on day one. Our training provides an in-depth exploration of yoga’s key poses, so that you can effectively cue your students, provide skilled verbal and physical adjustments, and share your very own classes with intelligence and ease by understanding how sequencing works. At the end of your training, you’ll put these skills into practice and teach a 60 minute class of your own design at Baby Cobra. Throughout this learning- teaching journey, you’ll gain valuable insights that only come with experience, allowing you to hit the ground running upon graduation.
A typical day will start with breathing and meditation, followed by an intensive physical practice session. From there, we’ll explore yoga through its philosophical, physical, and psychic lenses through workshops, lectures, guided discussion, and asana labs. A lunch break and smaller breaks will be provided throughout the day.
Topics include:
Yoga History & Philosophy
Cueing & Adjustments
Sequencing
Meditation
Pranayama
Anatomy
The Energy Body: Chakras & Nadis
Yoga Nidra
Restorative Yoga
Ethics
Business of Yoga
And more
