DESCRIPTION
Are you seeking to deepen your yoga practice? Do you wish to embark on a career as a yoga teacher? Guided by Leslie Howard and Margi Young, with other guest teachers, this experiential yoga teacher training will transform your yoga practice and teach you how to lead a class with clarity, depth and compassion. This training is approved by Yoga Alliance and offers 200 hours towards your RYT hours.
Together Margi and Leslie have over 40 years of teaching yoga classes and leading yoga teacher trainings. They bring their expertise to blend the traditions of yoga, in depth anatomical, pranayama and meditation instruction and strong yoga asana resulting in a transformative journey self-discovery.
In this training, we will use the Koshas - the five layers of being - as a framework. The Koshas, a concept from an ancient text, The Taittiriya Upanishad, are the five sheaths or layers: the physical body (annamaya kosha), the breath body (pranayama kosha), the mental/emotional body (manomaya kosha), the wisdom body (vijnanamaya kosha) and the bliss body (anandamaya kosha). In this comprehensive training program, you will learn to work with these layers and apply them to teaching yoga.
The first layer (the physical body) will be taught through extensive examination of yoga asana with emphasis on precision, foundation, alignment and anatomical awareness.
Through Pranamaya and breath work (the 2nd layer), you will meet the peace and stillness within as you experience a variety of breathing techniques for yourself and learn to teach them to your students.
The study of yogic philosophy, self-study and meditation addresses the third and fourth layers (mental and wisdom), helping develop clarity and mindfulness, allowing you to take that power into your day to day life.
Finally, the bliss layer, often glimpsed through meditation and stillness, fosters a connection with our innate joy, and a profound awakening that will inspire a compassionate teaching style rooted in authenticity.
This training will ground you in both teaching technique and self-awareness, preparing you to guide others on the transformative journey of yoga.
