PRAIRIE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

200 hour Foundation Program

September 2010 - May 2011 at Heading OM Yoga

 

Prairie Yoga 200 hour Teacher Training will deepen your own personal practice and prepare you to intelligently teach beginning and intermediate yoga classes from your own heart-felt path.  We believe that establishing a firm foundation in your own yoga practice is key to becoming an inspiring yoga teacher.

 

You will learn how to use the tools and techniques from all eight limbs of yoga.  Our philosophy is non-dogmatic.  We offer a contemporary approach deeply rooted in the ancient wisdom of classical yoga.  By immersing yourself in the study of yoga, you move toward becoming a balanced, whole individual deeply united with yourself, others and the world that we live in.

 

The Eight Limbs of Yoga:  

Yama (social ethics to live in harmony with others)

Niyama (personal ethics to live a balanced life)

Asana (postures to build strength and flexibility so energy can flow freely)

Pratyahara (internalizing the senses to reduce external stimulation)

Dharana (developing concentration and focus)

Dhyana (sustaining our focus to enter into meditation)

Samadhi (oneness)

 

The teacher training will teach you how to:

  • Include all eight limbs of yoga in your practice and teaching

  • Understand the energetic effects of asana, pranayama and meditation

  • Rid ourselves of habitual patterns, create a healthy balanced state and free up energy

  • Structure a yoga clsss to create a safe, supportive environment for students

  • Sequence your classes to emphasize different energetic effects, themes and intentions

  • Integrate the intelligent use of vinyasa

  • Use simple poses to safely learn and practice complex poses

  • Balance the opposing forces of grounding/lightness; stability/ease; and strength/flexibility

  • Introduce sound based yoga practices such as chanting and simple mantras

  • Train the mind to become still and develop self-awareness

  • Refine your teaching language to be very clear and specific

  • Demonstrate visually to emphasize key actions

  • Adjust students manually to reinforce alignment principles in a safe and appropriate way

  • Modify for common student issues

  • Market yourself as a yoga teacher; develop a business direction that aligns with your passion; understand common yoga financial agreements and get insurance; and build healthy business relationships

  • Gain insight into the ethics of teaching yoga

Prerequisites

The training is designed for those who want to become yoga teachers as well as for those who want to deepen their own personal practice and immerse themselves in the study of all aspects of yoga.  One year of consistent yoga practice is required to enroll.  Your commitment to learning and dedication to your own personal transformation is key to enjoying the benefits of this training.
