200hr Yoga Teacher Training
January 2021
Dates TBD
Elevate Yoga Studio invites you to join us for our first-ever 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Course intentionally designed to deepen your yoga journey and assist others in their path to oneness, health, and peace.
This six month, life-changing program is rooted in Vinyasa hatha yoga and classical yoga philosophy. Cara Sax and Lila Lolling have joined hearts, hands and minds to create a curriculum that is soul-inspiring and life-affirming. Through your own personal journey you will learn how to guide others in spiritual pursuits and personal development.
Our 200hr curriculum is more than learning to teach poses on the mat. This course is an invitation to reconnect to your inherent, ancient Self and learn how to inspire others to live yoga on and off the mat.
This training program is Yoga Alliance accredited and open to only 10 trainees. It is expected to fill quickly, so we encourage you to register early. Some weekend immersions are open to the public.
CURRICULUM: GENERAL OVERVIEW
Anatomy & Physiology - These sessions (mostly on Wednesdays) include basic movements, skeletal system, posture, key muscles, major joints in the body, location and function of major organs and glands, and more. These classes are presented in a fun and practical way that is directly correlated to yoga poses and tips to keeping a healthy and supple body for all stages of life.
Teaching Methodology - These sessions will help you to uncover qualities of a great class, a great teacher and how to hold sacred space for others. You will learn the art of teaching with inclusion and cultivating a safe and welcoming environment to all who come to your classes. During these sessions you will also learn the foundations to sequencing a vinyasa class and the skill necessary for proper asana assists.
Yoga Philosophy & Spirituality - At the core of all paths of yoga is peace. Yoga philosophy, psychology, and spirituality gives tools for the practitioner to experience deeper levels of peace, oneness, joy, and love. You will be required to read Lila’s book ‘Walking the Ancient Path of Yoga’ as an investigation into the path of Raja Yoga. In addition, you will learn the foundations of classical yoga philosophy and the non-dual approach to seeing the world.
Practicum - Your practicum hours will be filled through home study of Lila’s book, Walking the Ancient Path of Yoga. In the back of the book, there are questions that correspond to each chapter. You will be required to write those. You will also be required to participate in 6-8 yoga classes monthly and write a short summary of what you learned from the teacher and class. This can be done at Elevate Yoga Studio. In addition, you will be required to practice-teach and receive supportive mentorship in the process. All this to assist you to become best teacher you can be.
