All we ask of every trainee is to come as you are, with an open mind and a willing spirit!
What type of yoga do we learn?
Our program is inspired by the Kriya Yoga lineage of Babaji, Hatha and Vinyasa styles of yoga, and Energy Medicine Yoga. Trainees will learn how to sequence their own classes utilizing a creative combination of these elements, at their own pace.
Although no one is expected to teach yoga post-graduation, we do create space for practice teaching so that the material becomes ingrained in each trainee. We will experience many different styles including Yin, Restorative, transitions and postures, and experiment with sequencing a gentle yoga class (slow pace), a Hatha Flow (medium pace), and a Vinyasa Flow (faster pace), and whether you intend to teach upon the conclusion of the program or you're taking it for personal development, rest assured you will feel confident with sequencing and teaching many different ability levels!
By the end of the training, you will have first-hand experience teaching a full yoga class! This is the BEST way to culminate your training!
