10 Day Immersion, 100hrs
Advanced Teaching Methods: Exploring the Heart of Yoga Technique and Philosophy

As we advance in our teaching and personal practice, it is common to find ourselves becoming stagnant in our teaching, or feel a strong desire to explore more than what we’ve become accustomed to. Our Spring Segment is a chance for you to deeply examine your own personal practice and teaching style, and then refine and develop this further. You will begin to cultivate a relationship with the more subtle practices of yoga, using the Yoga Sutra as a foundation, and learn more about breathing, sense withdrawal, and meditation from both a personal and professional standpoint.

This segment of our teacher training course will focus on:
Refining your ability to deliver effective, efficient, and elegant verbal instruction
Developing your skills of observation and intuitive sensitivity to students’ needs
Understanding the deeper dimensions of yogic breathing for nervous system balance and as a support for deeper spiritual practices
Learning to offer students guided, systematic relaxations that increase prana and prepare students for meditation
Practicing traditional yogic meditation techniques
Participating in an in-depth study of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra that will make this ancient text come alive as a support for your practice and teaching
Developing the subtle aspects of yoga, including breathing, sense withdrawal, and meditation
Enhancing your credibility as a yoga teacher by skillfully incorporating Sanskrit into your teaching, and learn a set of traditional Sanskrit prayers and chants
