Assistant: Julia Howe Sullivan
Faculty: Emily Garrett, Simon Park, Kreg Weiss, Lida Winfield,  Ben Williams, Martha Whitney, Deb Sheerer and more.

The training includes three parts:

Part I Teaching From Your Center: Fine tune group class teaching skills

Part I requires that you teach a six week yoga series.  If you are already teaching a weekly yoga class this will suffice.  We will meet monthly and discuss the observations, questions, joys and challenges that arise during your teaching.  We believe that having a mentor while you are teaching is an invaluable tool towards growth.

Part II Working One on One

We will be using the same mentoring structure yet in Part II you will be asked to teach four private yoga sessions.  We will prepare you for teaching one on one through our weekend intensives and meet in mentoring groups to discuss the observations, questions, joys and challenges that arise.

Part III Philosophy and Delivery: Theming Classes and Communicating your Message

In Part III you will be asked to study a text that inspires you and create a 20 minute talk that illuminates a teaching of the text. You will also be responsible for creating a class themed around your talk. We will practice and discuss speaking with confidence, theming classes, creating a message that relates to your students, and using stories to engage your audience.
