Whether your goal is to explore your own practice on a deeper level or to become a certified yoga teacher, this training will help lay the stones to pave your path. Asana practice, pranayama, meditation and yoga philosophy will combine with practice teaching and hands-on adjustments to bring a greater understanding of what is happening in both the body and the mind when we practice yoga.
Join Allison Berlin (E-RYT 500) at The YogaLoft for this 200-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa based yoga teacher education program. The program includes a weekend meditation retreat and unlimited classes at The YogaLoft for the duration of the training. Topics of study include the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice and philosophy, the history of yoga, the bandhas (physical energy locks), pranayama (breathing techniques), principles of alignment, anatomy for yoga, teaching methodology, and the Sanskrit names of postures. As Ashtanga provides the foundation upon which most flow yoga classes are built, we’ll also explore asana sequencing for Vinyasa, other types of flow classes and Yin. This training program will prepare you to meet whatever comes your way, inside or outside the yoga room, with grace and certainty.
