October 2010 - May 2011
Our bodylifemind 200 Hour Teacher Training
is held on beautiful Hilton Head Island, SC. Offering
12 miles of pristine beaches, lush landscape and an appreciation
for the environment this offers the perfect setting for
a learning and relaxing yoga retreat!
This
program is not only for students who wish to teach yoga
but for dedicated students who would like to deepen
their practice and further their understanding of yoga.
This classical; yet multidimensional program will enhance
the integration between body, life and mind and develop
the practice of maintaining balance and flexibility
in the midst of challenge. Through the in-depth study
of asana, pranayama, meditation, sutras and chanting,
students are empowered to discover their greatest potential
and teach yoga from a place of creative inner power
and insight.
Overview
Asana
We will review the 8 limbs of yoga with great emphasis
on the third limb of yoga, the Asana. The asana has an
empowering effect on the body mind connection; therefore,
each session includes an extended asana practice that
explores the anatomical study with emphasis on form and
alignment. The asana training will cover vinyasa sequencing,
and include sun salutations, standing poses, balancing,
backbends, seated forward folds, inversions and twists.
Students will learn the benefits of the asana as well
as the props necessary to accommodate injuries commonly
encountered in yoga classes as well as in Yin and Restorative
yoga classes.
Anatomy
and Physiology
We will study several systems in the body including musculoskeletal,
nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular and digestive. Particular
attention will be spent investigating kinesiology (where
all our movement patterns are expressed), respiration
(because breathing is of great importance in yoga) and
pathology (so that students become familiar with injuries
and special health conditions). We will also explore the
subtle, energetic anatomy of chakras, nadis and koshas.
We
will look at alignment to learn how to enhance the flow
of prana while practicing each asana safely. Teachers
in training will learn a "hands on" approach
to assisting and adjusting and will know how to confidently
approach students to safely guide them in a direction
that offers a deeper experience of the asana
Insight
We will study the classical texts of the yoga tradition
including Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. We will learn how this
wisdom has universal value and how it will inspire us
to live in a more healthy and harmonious way. We apply
the teachings of loving kindness to the practice of meditation
and yoga. We undertake an initial study of the Sanskrit
language. Students will learn to pronounce the asana names
correctly and to be familiar with the powerful resonance
and sounding of the Sanskrit language. The practice of
chanting is weaved into the program and we investigate
the meaning of the chant, the pronunciation and rhythm
of each chant.
This
Training Program is registered with Yoga Alliance and
follow the newly established guidelines recently mandated
for a 200 hour teacher certification program.
