Peace Through Yoga 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training “The He(art) of Yoga”
The Conversation Continues…

When you work with your hands, you’re a laborer;
When you work with your hands and your head, you’re a craftsman;
When you work with your hands, head and heart, you’re an artist.” – St. Thomas Aquinas

This training will meet and exceed the guidelines set forth by Yoga Alliance to build on material and concepts developed at the 200 hour Teacher Training level as we explore the art of yoga. We will be providing you with the additional 300 hours of training, mentoring, and experience that is required to graduate as a RYT 500.

Along with becoming a more skillful yoga teacher, it is important to embody this work, so committing to your own daily practice will be a big part of this training experience – think of this as a 6 month intensive into your own practice. In order to cultivate your teaching skills, it is crucial that you deepen your own practice and relationship with yoga on all levels, as teaching from your own experience and your own insights is what creates the energy that allows for healing and transformation.

In addition to reviewing the foundations and skills learned in the basic teacher training, we will delve deeper into:

Yoga philosophy and its practical applications for your daily life and teaching
Creating classes and workshops
Creating classes for special populations
Finding your own unique voice, vision, and calling as a teacher
Advanced asana and pranayama techniques and methodologies
Energy anatomy and its applications
Ayurveda, nutrition, and much, much more!
