What’s included:

Because a dynamic and informed personal practice is the cornerstone of effective teaching, over the course of the eight-weeks, Maha Yoga Teacher trainees will work with the instructors to build a customized, well-rounded personal practice. Our program will provide intensive instruction in asana (physical posture), pranayama
(breath control), mantra (sacred sounds), and meditation practices. This core curriculum will be supplemented by clinics in anatomy and physiology, use of props, ethical precepts, manual adjustments, and teaching skills.
We will also introduce yogic philosophies, Sanskrit pronunciation, Ayurveda, bandhas (energetic locks), the subtle body and the chakra system, and other topics designed to deepen your personal practice and build confi dence in teaching.

What can a graduate expect:

Graduates of the Maha Yoga Teacher Training will have acquired the skills to:

•Craft a personal practice
•Feel comfortable teaching the fundamental yoga postures
•Design fun and effective sequences
•Understand how anatomy and physiology relate to yoga practice
•Look at and interpret students’ bodies on a physical and an energetic level
•Basic understanding of the art of meditation and science of pranayama
•Through this experience-based approach, students will also experience fi rst-hand the transformative physical, mental, and spiritual effects of an intelligent yoga practice.
