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.
