Sanctuary is thrilled to welcome
YogaWorks for a
200 - hour teacher training!!!
YogaWorks' premier Teacher Training program is credited by
many as laying the foundation for yoga in the U.S. Many of the
most respected yoga teachers in the U.S. today, including Shiva
Rae, Seane Corn, Saul David Raye and Natasha Rizopoulos
have all trained with YogaWorks.
YogaWorks offers one of the most comprehensive Teacher
Training programs in the world for aspiring teachers and serious
students of yoga. YogaWorks' cohesive, multi-specialist
approach to teacher training blends the best of yoga tradition
from the East and the West. At YogaWorks, the mission is to
provide aspiring teachers with the foundation to teach skillfully
with compassion, integrity and safety, while honoring his or her
unique voice.
The dynamic and conscious practice of asana is the cornerstone
of the YogaWorks method. To deepen their education, students
in the YogaWorks training will also study anatomy and physiology,
explore Yoga's philosophical underpinnings, practice meditation
and pranayama as well as investigate the subtle body and
Ayurveda.
Since 1990, YogaWorks has trained hundreds of new teachers
and continues to offer on-going curriculum to its graduates.
YogaWorks Teacher Training is registered with Yoga Alliance at
the 200, and 500 hour levels.
The course is comprised of three main sections:
1. Theory and Practice of Yoga
This foundational training will emphasize deepening a student's
personal practice, as this is the source for their creative teaching.
It will also include a comprehensive study of the techniques
and mechanics of the fundamental yoga postures, while providing
the tools necessary to teach yoga to others. To facilitate a
more scientific understanding of the body, the training includes
the study of functional anatomy. In addition, to give developing
teachers a balanced understanding of yoga, the YogaWorks
training moves beyond the physical with the study of meditation,
pranayama, Ayurveda and the chakra system.
Topics include:
* Intensive asana study
* Fundamental anatomy of physiology
* The principles of pranayama
* Understanding of restorative and pre-natal yoga
* Overview of the subtle body & chakra system
2) Yoga Philosophy
Over 2,000 years ago the sage Patanjali described the process
of Yogic movement towards a higher consciousness and peace
in his treatise "the Yoga Sutras." His teachings are a living,
practical model that, once understood, can be applied to all
aspects of life today. They serve to deepen the awareness of
our relationship to ourselves, to others, and to our environment.
participants of this course will be introduced to the vast wealth of
inspiration available in "the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali."
3) The Theory and Practice of Teaching
The art of teaching is a form of yoga in itself requiring sensitivity,
compassion and practice. A teacher must encourage and
inspire, being sensitive to both the needs of individuals as well
as those of the group. The practical and subtle aspects involved
in teaching, to be addressed in this course, include:
* How to be an effective teacher
* Use of voice, body language and touch
* The art and science of sequencing
* Learning how to see and understand bodies
* The purpose and use of props in personal practice, and class
setting
* Hands on adjustments
* Practice teaching
About YogaWorks
YogaWorks was founded in 1988 by the now world-renowned
Ashtanga yoga teachers Maty Ezraty and Chuck Miller, at the
urging of Tantric yoga master Alan Finger. They were the first
yogis to create a school that brought the many different styles of
yoga together in one place.
Today YogaWorks has become a thriving yoga resource and
community of teachers and students as well as one of the most
comprehensive and most respected teacher training programs in
the world. Over the years, YogaWorks has earned a reputation
for making quality yoga accessible to all.
