Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship Training
Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship Training
Being a yogi means orienting your whole life towards your highest potential, from the deepest realization of who you truly are to the unbounded expression of that truth in the world. Being a Yoga teacher is a commitment to awaken others to the insights of Yoga, a great gift to the world to be undertaken with honour, humility and a sense of humour.
This is an apprenticeship course which means we will work closely together, privately or with one or two others, molding your training according to where you are in your understanding and practice. My intention is to properly train serious yoga students to become strong, confident, knowledgeable teachers. In addition to all the relevant information about Yoga philosophy and theory I will put a strong emphasis on developing your personal practice and cultivating your personal growth. What you have to share as a teacher comes from your own experience. The deeper your realization of Yoga, the more naturally your teaching will flow.
In this 200 hour Apprenticeship course you will learn… continue reading
Ashtanga Adjustment Training
Standing Poses, first half of Primary Series
The art of adjusting is a special skill. The knowledge comes from a comprehensive understanding of the body, the ability to read and respond to a student’s particular state in the moment and with practice.
Saturday & Sunday September 11 & 12, 2010
1.30-5.30pm
This will be a master class for Ashtanga teachers and advanced practitioners. A good grasp of the Ashtanga system is required.

It will help you think about postures in new ways as well as enhance your own practice. read more…

Mysore Style Self-Practice
Ashtanga is taught in Mysore, India, its place of origin, in a self-practice format with each practitioner moving through the series at his or her own pace according to his or her own level of ability under the guidance of the teacher. It is the ideal way to learn for committed students whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced practitioner.
In my Self Practice classes, after the student becomes familiar with the beginning standing sequences, the main method of instruction is by giving hands-on adjustments to help move deeper into postures, correct alignment and to invite the student feel and enjoy the postures more fully.
The room is hot. You will sweat. The atmosphere is focused with the students’ attention entrained on their breath and in their bodies. read more…
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
The system of yoga that I teach is called Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, distinguished from Patanjali’s Ashtanga yoga, the eightfold path of meditation. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga has been developed as a system of movement, postures and a certain breathing technique to progressively purify and tone the body and quiet the mind.
The Ashtanga Vinyasa system is intelligently sequenced so that each posture prepares the practitioner for the next. One must master each posture and sequence to a certain degree before moving on to the next. The series gets progressively more demanding, challenging the body to increasing levels of strength, flexibility, agility and balance as well as challenging the mind to increasing levels of concentration and relaxation. read more…

Guided class levels
Traditionally Ashtanga is taught in a self-practice format with each practitioner moving through the series at his or her own pace according to his or her own level of ability under the guidance of the teacher.
Many yoga schools offer led Ashtanga classes for all levels of practitioners, beginners to advanced students. You may find that class levels differ from one school to another. This is a guide for people who attend my classes.
