❓What does your program certify me to do?
Upon completion of our program you are a 200-hour Certified Yoga Instructor! This means you have the baseline training to begin teaching yoga classes if you desire. And there are so many directions and trainings to explore after this, it’s just the beginning! These trainings usually kick-start a lifelong practice of learning and growth.
❓Do you expect me to live and breathe only yoga? what if I’m into sports, lifting, boxing, running, etc?
It’s important to us to emphasize the fact that the physical “pose/mat” practice of yoga is just one piece of the practice. Yoga also includes philosophy, principles for living and moving through the world, and most importantly, inner transformation. So technically the yogic way of life can be infused into all that we do and how we are in the world. We want our students to be physically active on and off the mat, and love the way that the yoga practice compliments strength training or running.
❓How long have you had this program?
Our program kicked off in 2020, so it’s been running on and off for over five years! We feel we have one of the best 200-hour programs out there, and have an extremely experienced and well-qualified staff- our two lead instructors each have over 12 years of teaching experience, and we have a Massage Therapist, Physical Therapist and Mental Health Therapist on staff.
❓How is this different than a group exercise certification?
Group exercise certifications are generally one weekend, or a brief experience(maybe like 20 hours), and focused entirely on teaching you to teach a group to move together in a specific way. A Yoga Teacher Training usually spans across multiple months (8 months in our case), is generally over 200 hours of hands-on training and includes anatomy + physiology, history, philosophy, touch, and lots of self-study. It’s kind of like comparing a one-day workshop to a full year of college. What you learn (unlearn) and gain (let go) from a yoga teacher training experience truly unfolds over a lifetime!
Yang & Yin kicks off this January!!>
