500hr Yoga of Energy Flow Teacher Training Program

The 500hr Yoga of Energy Flow Teacher Training will explore Yoga as a healing art. Our working text will be the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the classic manual on Hatha Yoga written in the 15th century, which describes asanas (postures), purifying practices (shatkarma), mudras (mental "seals" as well as hand positions), bandhas (locks), pranayama (breath exercises), and meditation techniques. As we explore and practice from this historical text, we will add western anatomical studies, the science of stretching, mindful hands-on assists, vinyasa yoga sequencing, and more, with the goal of developing the skills to effectively promote healing and wellness in yoga classes and in private yoga therapy sessions. We are currently seeking Yoga Alliance Accredidation for this program and hope to be able to offer it in 2009.
