Fall 2024/2025: 200-HOUR YOGA
TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM
|
We will Prepare Yoga Teachers to Teach People, Not Poses. Interested in learning about the art of teaching yoga or to deepen your own personal practice this training is for you!
Frequently Asked Questions: What if there are poses I can’t do? Because of [a past injury, current condition, personal priorities and desires, or any other reason], I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to demonstrate handstand or headstand or Flying Warrior or whatever. Can I still teach? A - Absolutely, yes. If you can breathe, you can do yoga. No physical limitations should be considered a block to attendance. Being an effective yoga teacher isn’t about doing complicated poses. If you’re motivated to support and empower others with yoga tools, you’ll learn in the training that yoga is a vast body of knowledge and tools designed to help quiet the mind and to achieve increasing levels of self-knowledge and self-realization. No pose or group of poses is required to have a “good” yoga practice with the exception, perhaps, of Savasana which is important for integrating the effects of a practice. But even with Savasana, there are many variations available to adapt the pose to the student (such as propping the knees and the neck, inclining the back, lying on the side or the belly). What’s included in the price? What’s not included? A - You will receive mentoring from all the Teacher Trainers at Yoga by Janice with advanced experience in teaching Yoga for all students. Unlimited yoga classes at the studio. A 200hr YTT Manual, a Yin Yoga Manual and a Chair Yoga Manual. What's not included? A - Events at the studio and your YTT Books (3) required which can be purchased on Amazon for a small cost. Join us for an info session to answer all your questions or you can set up an appointment with Janice to meet on another date at the Studio. This training will explore: History, Sanskrit, Philosophy, Anatomy & Physiology, Ethics, Teaching Methods, Adjustment & Alignments, Sequencing, Pranayama, Asanas and Meditation. Take a moment to consider why you practice and study yoga. Your reasons probably fall into these categories: Healing, Wisdom, Self-mastery and spiritual evolution and freedom. You will also get training in Yin Yoga and Chair Yoga as added Bonus! |
Misconception is you have to be super advanced yogi to participate. Not true! Many yogis say I never plan to teach or just want to expand their personal practice. Just stay open minded and open to all the possibilities and the rest will work out. Yoga teachers need to understand the underlying philosophy of techniques, about the different ways that people experience techniques, and about how students need various options. While some trainings and teachers treat yoga asana very much like fitness instruction and while others have become yoga therapists, there is a broad range in between where a yoga teacher creates an environment optimally conducive to health and wellness for every student.

Dear Fellow Yogi/Yogini and Teacher-in-Training,
Namaste. It’s a pleasure to welcome you onto the profound and endless journey of deepening your practice and sharing it with others. Here are some considerations that may support you in your exploration. Please take a moment to clarify for yourself why you practice and study yoga. Your reasons probably revolve around some or all of these:
As your commitment to teaching deepens and you face challenges or distractions, avoid losing sight of the ultimate reasons why you practice and teach yoga.
A — Absolutely, yes. If you can breathe, you can do yoga. No physical limitations should be considered a block to attendance. Being an effective yoga teacher isn’t about doing complicated poses. If you’re motivated to support and empower others with yoga tools, you’ll learn in the training that yoga is a vast body of knowledge and tools designed to help quiet the mind and to achieve increasing levels of self-knowledge and self-realization. Your Development Over Time Yoga is a lifelong pursuit of learning and practice. And so, too, is the teaching of yoga. Yoga teachers develop their skills and evolve over time.
The techniques that teachers use in their growth and evolution fall into two broad categories:
Here we use "practice" to mean all those things that you engage in with the mind-body in real time, including not only your personal practice (including self-study and reflection) but also practice teaching and receiving coaching and mentoring. Both practice and knowledge are critical for teachers.
