Teacher Training class of 2012-begins January 18th!!
Training as a yoga teacher is a journey of self-observation that can lead to uncovering the deep wisdom that lies within each of us. You might choose to teach, discover a new career, or simply want to understand how your body, mind and spirit can become unified and balanced.
This experience is much more than learning how to teach yoga. It's an invitation to expand the mind, open the heart and heal the body.
Class Times: Evenings: 6:00-8:30 p.m.
Weekends 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
This training is offered in 3 seperate sessions. Session 1 is open to anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of yoga! No desire to teach is required.
Dates:
Session 1: Jan. 18, 21, 22, 28, 29. Feb. 1, 8, 11, 12
Session 2: Feb 25, 26, 29. March 10, 11, 14, 17,18. April 4, 14,15
Session 3-to be determined with class input
Session 1: focus is on the rich history and philosophy of the practice of yoga. Additionally, we will delve into our anatomy, physiology and moving in alignment. We begin to explore asana not as movement to be perfected, rather as an exploration of freedom and ease when we move in healthy, therapeutic ways.
Session 2: we delve deeper into pranayama, bandhas, mudras, spinal movements and designing an asana practice. Understanding the stress response is an integral part of using breath as a tool to change our health. The ancient healing science of ayurveda also guides us to a deeper understanding of how are bodies work in our modern world.
Session 3:we focus on teaching techniques, meditation and relaxation techniques, class observation as we create and teach classes for beginning yoga students. Throughout the training, we take time for relaxation with yoga nidra or guided meditation implementing the concepts of caring for ourselves as much as others.
Karen's training format uses the framework of the koshas (layers) of our being to understand our motivations and our brilliance! She draws on the yoga sutras to deepen this journey.

Testimonials
" The 3 session Teacher Training taught me about self motivation, self awareness and how to change some of my most apparent bad habits into good habits! It helped to teach me about how to teach myself how to deal with stress and uncomfortable daily situtations. Posture and alignment was one aspect that I continue to work on, with the right knowledge I am able to correct this in any situtation. I highly recomend all 3 sessions even if teaching is not the end result, (knowing that teaching does help one understand how to help others).
Commitment and curiosity will help you strive to graduate and intragrate yoga into everyday living." B.L.
