200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program

This program is accredited with Yoga Alliance.

 🤍

Have you thought about becoming a Yoga Teacher?

Are you a yoga practitioner who would like to deepen your practice?

Then please read on to learn more about this special program.

NEW! We've also created an option for those who know they do not want to teach, but would like to deepen their practice and understanding of Yoga called the Non-Certification Enrollment.

 

Our Hope Yoga teacher training program takes you deeper into your yoga practice, your understanding of Yoga and most importantly, deeper into your own BEing.

Each weekend will consist of various topics including anatomy principles, asanas (poses), pranayama (breathing), meditation, philosophy and more.

 

As you continue with your own inner journey, you will notice and feel how your own practice transforms.

 

And you will develop and learn the skills to help, teach and inspire others who step onto the path of yoga.

 

That's exciting and rewarding!

 

You will learn how to teach yoga to people with different levels of strength, flexibility and learning styles. You will learn to inspire students, to use effective language, sequence intelligent and creative classes for different levels, perform hands on adjustments and more.

You will also learn about teaching specialty classes such as Prenatal, Restorative and Chair Yoga.

 

WHY DO THIS TRAINING PROGRAM?

This training is set up to allow you to make time for this program as well as tend to the rest of the activities that you need to do in your daily life.

 

Let's face it, life can be hectic at times!

 

So dedicating focused time to a transformational journey like this is powerful. It will bring about more awareness and perspective shifts, which will then extend into all the other areas of your life.

 

The way this program is planned out is intentional. 

 

You will learn from the ground up; from the foundational aspects and build upon that in all the various topics. You will get to soak in the material during our time together and then practice and apply and integrate throughout the rest of the month until we meet again.

Plus you'll have access to a private community where you can ask questions and connect with the other trainees throughout this entire program, 24/7.

 

Yoga is a living, breathing process.

 

There's no rush to get to a certain place, position or level. All will transpire exactly as it is meant to be.

  

By the end of this training, you will walk away with confidence, knowing you can teach an effective, creative and engaging yoga class.

 

We will guide you through the skills you need, help you practice those skills, and share with you our experience of what it takes to become the teacher you want to be. I won't tell you it's easy, because it's not. It takes commitment and dedication and a drive from within to take this journey. But one thing I can tell you from experience is, it's one of the best journeys you will ever embark on. 

 

LET'S DIVE INTO THIS TRAINING

Hope Yoga 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification Program:

A 6-month transformational journey.

A Module equals 1 full training month.

The first 3 Modules are described below in depth. 

🤍

NOTE: TRAINING CONTENT MAY VARY/CHANGE FOR EACH MODULE.

Module 1:

During this training month, you will be introduced to the history of yoga and the foundational principles of yoga poses. You will learn how to properly align your body in various asanas (poses) and understand the benefits and effects of each pose. Through guided practice, you will begin to develop strength, flexibility, and balance in your body.

 

Additionally, you will be introduced to pranayama, which is the practice of breath control. You will learn different breathing techniques that can help calm the mind, increase energy, and improve overall well-being. Pranayama is an essential aspect of yoga and can be practiced both on and off the mat.

 

This weekend will also include an introduction to meditation. You will learn a couple simple meditation techniques to start, that can help cultivate mindfulness, focus, and inner peace. Meditation is a powerful tool that can be integrated into your daily life to reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and promote overall emotional well-being.

 

By the end of this training weekend, you will have a deeper understanding of the foundational principles of yoga poses, pranayama, and meditation. You will begin to tap into the knowledge and skills to incorporate these practices into your daily life, allowing you to experience the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga, no matter how long you've been practicing.

🤍

Module 2:

In Module 2, we will delve deeper into the principles of alignment, building upon what you learned in the first module. We will review and practice various alignment techniques to ensure proper form and safety in your yoga practice.

 

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to study anatomy and physiology and understand how it relates to yoga. This knowledge will help you better understand the mechanics of the body and how different poses can affect different muscles and systems.

 

As you progress in this module, you will learn about the various yoga pose categories, their energetic components, benefits and more. 

 

In addition to the physical aspects of yoga, we will dive a bit deeper into the exploration of breathing and relaxation techniques. These techniques will enhance your meditation practice, allowing you to find a deeper sense of calm and presence.

 

We will delve into the ancient wisdom of the yoga sutras. We will study these philosophical texts and apply their teachings to real-life situations. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of how yoga can be integrated into your daily life and how it can bring about positive transformation.

 

Overall, Module 2 will provide you with a deeper understanding of yoga, both on and off the mat. You will deepen your physical practice, expand your knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and explore the philosophical aspects of yoga.

🤍

Module 3:

In Module 3, you will dive even deeper into this ancient art and science of yoga. You will continue to learn important alignment principles that are specific to different types of pose categories. We will put this knowledge into practice so you can understand and see how body alignment can vary from one person to the next. This will ensure that you can help your future clients receive the maximum benefits from a pose for their unique body and help to avoid any potential injuries.

 

You will also learn how to transition safely and effectively from one pose to another. Smooth transitions are important in maintaining the flow of your practice as well as preventing discomfort as you move from one pose to the next. This will help to enhance the overall experience of your practice and your future clients as well.

 

Creating a sequence for your home practice is another key aspect of Module 3. You will learn how to design and structure a well-rounded sequence that targets specific areas of the body or focuses on certain aspects of a practice. This will allow you to tailor your practice to your individual needs and goals as well as your clients.

 

Lastly, Module 3 will deepen your pranayama (breath control) and meditation practice. You will learn more advanced breathing techniques that can help to calm the mind, increase energy, and enhance your overall well-being. More meditation techniques will also be explored, providing you with tools to cultivate mindfulness and inner peace.

 

Overall, Module 3 will help you gain a deeper understanding of alignment, transitions, sequencing, pranayama, and meditation, allowing you to enhance your practice both on and off the mat.
