Upcoming Yoga Teacher Training:
Join us in November for Ashtanga Vinyasa Krama Yoga teacher training at the Blue Ridge school of Massage and Yoga. In this program we'll develop the foundation of personal practice. From this strong foundation our practice of teaching will grow.
We'll explore western anatomy and physiology, eastern energetic anatomy and how yoga practice effects both. We will also focus on alignment principles; safe, effective assisting and hands on adjustments following these principles. We'll explore the many cycles of asanas in classic asana practice diving deep into how and why the Ashtanga practice weaves it's way through them. Understanding this opens the door to many levels of teaching. We will have the opportunity to play with working with individual conditions to organizing larger classes.
In addition to practice, we'll read and discuss the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - in order to ground us in the universal underlining philosophy of what yoga is. Meditation will be introduced so the concepts of movement and stillness can be integrated in practice and teaching. Yoga can be defined many ways. Ultimately it's a path of transformation - Of diving into the sea of divinity and fully encompassing, being, who we truly are.

"Laughter yoga combines laughter with yogic breathing exercises. It is a perfect way to laugh and get exercise at the same time. It approaches laughter as a body execise so it's easy to laugh even if you're depressed or in a bad mood. I've tried it, and it works." Oprah Winfrey
