Open to all students who aspire to be yoga teachers, students who wish to deepen their practice and experience of yoga, as well as health care professionals and current yoga teachers seeking to hone their skills.
OVERVIEW
Jill Gutowski and Michael Brantl have created a highly experiential 200 hour hatha yoga training to learn and develop skills in becoming a compelling and authentic yoga teacher. Learn how an asana practice, mindfully and skillfully taught, can be a tool of personal and global transformation. You do not have to become a teacher to participate.
Conducted over one weekend a month for 9 months, it is designed to provide a safe, dynamic and experiential learning environment with time for integration and practice of material learned. The program consists of both practice and training. Practice includes meditation, chanting and intensive yoga. Training sessions will include lecture, practice teaching, skill-building exercises, journal writing and self-reflective visualization exercises.
 TOPICS to be covered include:
- Asana - in depth exploration of poses and their effects on the whole person
- Pranayama - how to practice and teach breath-work based on their effects
- Anatomy & Physiology / Energy Anatomy - learning the complex systems of the body, both form and function, from eastern and western perspectives
- Sequencing - safe and effective ways to structure a class
- Hands on Adjustments - guide students deeper with the power of touch
- Seeing and Empathing - enhance your ability to see your students and help them
- Communication - to teach clearly and succinctly from your authentic voice
- Ethics & Integrity - to project clear professional relationships and boundaries; live from a place of authenticity
- Philosophy - integrate yogic philosophy into practical teaching skills
- Injuries - how to work with and prevent them; learn how to protect yourself and your students
