This Advanced Level Teacher
Training is open to those who
have completed a 200hr Certification
program and consists of 300hrs
of training. The training provides
over a year of on-going instruction
in the Art of Teaching and the
study of Yoga as a vehicle for
transformation. It also offers
an experiential training in the
leading of intensives and workshops
preparing participants for their
own next level of offerings to
students.
Program Description:
VISION + COMMITMENT
The aim of this training is to
aid in the development of truly
impactful Yoga Teachers: Teachers
who are leaders. In order to accomplish
this aim, we will study in depth
the space within which the teacher
learns, grows, teaches and leads:
The mirror of everyday life. We
will refine our vision and commitment
to our role in the classroom to
achieve a level of mastery as a
teacher and leader in our community.
We will explore the dynamics of
karma, principle, awareness, freedom
and choice. We will come to a holistic
understanding of the human experience
we share, the purpose of spiritual
practice and the role of the teacher.
To that end, teachers engaged in
the Advanced Vinyasa Teacher Training
will study and be able to teach
classes and workshops that address:
- The Yoga Sutras as a context
for understanding and transformation
- The
Mechanics of Karma as the foundation
of spiritual growth
- The Three
Aspects of Practice: Sila, Samahdi
and Wisdom
- The Powerful Intersection
of Western Science and Yoga
- Non-violence
in action
- The Art of Sadhana:
The Development and Refinement
of a Home Practice
- A Refined
Vision of the Yoga Teacher’s
Tools: Asana, Pranyama and
Meditation.
- A
Refined Vision of the yoga teacher:
The use of Self in a transformational
environment.

The Experiential
Workshop/Retreat Development
The experiential workshop/retreat
component of this training offers
an exceptional opportunity. This
module will prepare the teacher
to conduct workshops and retreats
at the 1-7 day levels. There will
be an emphasis on the design and
leading of these types of offerings
for students.
