200 HR YOGA ALLIANCE TRAINING 7-Day Modules, 21 days in total
DATES: April 20 – 26, May 11 – 17, June 1-7, 2015 LOCATION: Kula Wellness Center, Pemberton, BC
ABOUT THE PROGRAM: This course is designed for new and experienced students who are looking to immerse or teach yoga. You have the option to immerse in one or all three sessions. For students who want to teach, you must do all three modules. Past students or current teachers who want to do just one part of the 200Hr for fun are also welcome. It is a great option for those interested in staying local to B.C and looking for a stay-cation/day program experience. It is also ideal for those who have no interest or time to travel abroad (at-home parents, students etc.). It is my mission to make this program one of best: with integrity, tradition and modernity in fusion with your personality and offerings. It is for those of you seeking to teach, or simply wanting to immerse in an intense experience for three weeks. This is the thirteenth time I will be running the course. We spend 21 days in total, exploring the underbelly of what is yoga on all realms. This includes a three to four hour daily practice – power vinyasa based, pranayama, meditation, an overview of yoga history, philosophy, Sanskrit/mantras/chanting, practice teaching, posture clinics, anatomy, subtle anatomy and much more. There are four pre-requisite readings: Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Light on Life and Anatomy of the Spirit. Each book interweaves the above subjects and will teach you a new language surrounding the heart of yoga.

INFO FOR INTERESTED TEACHERS: The style you will be taught to teach is a Vinyasa/Power flow practice, but essentially – as you will learn, yoga is yoga is yoga. The teaching begins once the course is over and it is up to you to persevere and commit years on the mat to be a solid, new teacher. It takes time and patience. Like all good things, teaching takes time and courage to keep to doing it. If it is your calling, perfect. If not, you can’t lose, as education is valuable, especially what the antiquity and modernity of yoga teaches. All the varying methods in all studios take us to the same place, which is why I’m not into labelling my school to one “type” of yoga. Alignment, clarity and method will be key during our course, but teaching you a memorized sequence isn’t my schtick. I want you to find your own voice as a student and teacher and find creative freedom in doing so.
