The Body Awakening Structural Yoga Teacher Training

This compassionate and intensive training will give you the insight, experience and confidence to teach a powerful class to any level of student. Learn the anatomy and movement of the body in relation to injury and rehabilitation. Learn safe sequencing, gentle yet well directed adjustments and verbal cues. Learn to guide the subtle flow of prana, dive into meditative serenity and move from your intuitive and natural self.

The 300 and 500 Hour Curriculums include structural integration bodywork training and preparation.

This course will begin with a full week intensive, and then is followed by meetings two weekends a month. Please view the individual section descriptions for the dates of each program. We have decided to run two intensive weeks, so each participant may choose to attend either week to start the year off.

200 Hour Program

Learn how to guide your students through a safe, stable and purposeful yoga class to any level. Anatomy, nutrition, sutras, meditation, breathwork (pranayama) and basic yoga philosophy as well as modern approaches to health and wellness will all be covered. Learn to sequence a class correctly in order to open the body in an intelligent manor.
