Life School Teacher Training
Offered from 2014-2018
Do you want to deepen your practice of living through Yoga? Do you want to
become a Yoga Teacher so that you can facilitate others in living well? Join us for
our 200RYT Yoga Alliance registered basic teacher training to become truly skillful
at living through alignment: alignment of body; alignment of body + mind;
alignment of body + mind + spirit.
Life School will help you be skillful at finding balance, at transforming yourself into
the person you would like to be, at creating the journey that is truly yours, at
finding your appropriate containers in your life that keep you safe but not stuck, at
finding connection with yourself and others, at finding your inner reservoir of
resources and at learning how to be in control of your mind so that you can direct
it positively towards yourself and others.
Life School is designed to work with your busy schedule and to create the
conditions where you can let the information steep for deep contemplation. Our
schedule requires attendance roughly two weekends per month so that you can
still live your life and weave in the amazing things that you will be learning.
Life School is intimate, focused and thorough. You will be teaching within the first
few weeks and throughout the program. You will have the support of a mentor, a
buddy and free access to all of our classes once you have paid in full your tuition
and for the first four months of the program after which you will access classes
and workshops at a discounted rate.
You will be reading, writing and reflecting on your experiences as they unfold
using the tools of the path of Yoga. These are tools that apply to what you are
doing in Life School and most importantly they are tools that will help you live
your life more skillfully.
