If you have fallen in love with yoga as I have, you might want to consider furthering your knowledge through a yoga teacher training program. Teacher training is not just a resource for practitioners who are looking to start a teaching practice. Yoga practitioners of all levels of practice can and will benefit from attending training.Yoga teacher training is an opportunity to learn and understand more about the lineage of yoga, so that, as a modern practitioner, you can practice the traditional techniques appropriately and effectively. Students will be empowered to deepen their practice moving beyond practicing asana alone. Teacher training gives practitioners one on one guidance to improve their alignment, keeping their bodies healthy and hearts happy.Learning the philosophy and practices in the yogic tradition is an excellent way for anyone interested in yoga to stoke their inner desire to grow. Students also develop the skills to assess what practices are appropriate for themselves and others while learning how to link them together in creative and intelligent ways. In teacher training, I encourage students to be themselves while they challenge themselves. You can expect to work hard and learn more than you can imagine.The most important part of teacher training to me is that we create an enriching environment that helps to cultivate a supportive and loving atmosphere in our community. I want students to feel like they are leaving with more than just information. I want all the people that attend my training to feel like they are with a family. Developing a “sangha,” a group of like-minded people who are working together for a common purpose is an essential aspect of growing as a collective.
