REQUIREMENTS

All levels and abilities are welcome! You do not need to be a master of yoga to learn how to teach, all that is required is that you love yoga and want to learn more. The program requires a great deal of time and energy, but is spread out over a period of time. This allows your body and mind to digest the material and gives you the ability to truly integrate these yogic principles into your life. The schedule allows you to remain in your real life while practicing and gradually make changes that will last. A minimum of six months of regular practice is recommended but not required, and a personal meeting with the Teacher Trainer and Director Jeannie Laslo Douglas will be arranged to answer any questions that you may have. To request an application or for more information, please contact Jeannie at (541) 639-2618. Join us for small intimate teacher training classes this year.

Hatha Level 2

This workshop is for teachers with students that are comfortable with the basics of yoga, and ready for more of a flow. A flow can be slow, or a little faster to link some poses together to create a flow sequence. In a Mixed Level or Intermediate class, less instruction is expected, with more emphasis on fine tuning, concentrations, and breath, so students can experience the deeper subtleties of the asanas they have been practicing in Beginners classes. New asanas will be introduced, and others will be held longer to deepen the experience. Mixed Level means that everyone is on different levels, and so many options and variations are offered. 8 CEU’s

This comprehensive workshop covers:

Discuss the differences between Beginner, Mixed Level, and Intermediate classes
Explore the benefits of taking the Beginner to the next level
Choosing asanas, sequences, or vinyasas that work well in a Hatha Level 2 class
Address questions regarding challenging teaching situations
The art of transitions
Intermediate Asanas

Chakra and Asana

Eastern and Western Medicine, Philosophy, and Anatomy/Physiology come together in this intensive workshop exploring the Chakra System, a map of the energetic system of the human body illustrated by yogis long ago. This map offers a link from the energetic to the physical, shows how disease manifests in the physical body, and gives practitioners the tools to keep the spirit empowered and biology balanced. Together we will explore this link, and experience a Hatha Yoga class designed to balance and strengthen the chakras. 8 CEU’s
