PRINCIPLES OF YOGA

IMMERSION IN THE STUDY & PRACTICE OF YOGA

A 9 month intensive training to deepen and enhance knowledge and practice for aspiring teachers, current teachers or experienced students.

This intensive training is designed to meet the requirements for Yoga Alliance 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher designation. Current yoga teachers, bodywork practitioners and experienced yoga students who are ready to expand their knowledge and deepen their practice will also benefit.

It is expected that students will complete all homework in the form of reading and writing assignments and establish consistent home practice of asana, pranayama, and meditation. Those seeking 200RYT are required to attend at least one yoga class/week with either Rick or Margaret. For those not seeking RYT designation, participation in individual modules is possible if space allows.

At the end of this training, students will:

Gain a solid foundation in the anatomy and physi-ology of asana to learn principles of alignment, sequencing of poses, and designing safe, effective classes. Emphasis will be on aging and the yoga practitioner.

Develop the foundation of pranayama (breath) to learn essential breathing techniques to control the flow of prana (life force) and enhance deeper self-knowledge.

Connect mindfulness practice to daily life and be able to cultivate clarity toward wise living and ethi-cal teaching.
