This comprehensive 200-hour training will lead you through the inter-personal process of deepening your own practice while gaining in-depth insight into the teaching techniques, anatomical principles and philosophy of yoga.

It is designed for students wanting to become certified teachers, certified teachers wanting to deepen their knowledge, and students wanting to dive deep into their practice.

Begin with a weeklong residential retreat at Mayacamas Ranch in Calistoga, where you can unplug from the day-to-day grind and saturate in the flow of the ancient and transformative teachings of yoga. Follow through with three 4-day weekend modules over the next two months. Each module will include daily asana practice, lecture, and practice teaching.

This training will deepen your practice, and prepare you to teach yoga with confidence, skill and integrity.

Shiva/Shakti Residential Retreat (May 17th-23rd, 2010; Calistoga, CA) This is the optimal environment for expansive and supported growth for the individual within their yogic journey. Focus begins on the individual level and widens throughout the week in a way that connects self-discovery with community.

Hanuman Module (June 3rd – 6th, 2010; San Francisco, CA) Rooted in philosophy, this module will explore themes of prana (energy), bhakti (devotion) and anahata (heart). Learn sacred mantra and chanting, and delve into the yoga sutras.

Ganesha Module (July 15th – 18th; San Francisco, CA) Practical anatomy is the main focus for this module. Explore the concept of Seva (service) through hands-on-assists, personal relationship to practice and community outreach.
