EYS 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Yoga Teacher Training Program
with Jill Blumenstock E-RYT

Info Sessions will be held at 7:30 pm on
Sunday Aug 22^nd, Sunday Sept 19^th, and Friday October 1^st

This training is perfect for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the study and practice of yoga and/or learn how to serve others using the tools of this transformational path. The beginning of the training is combined with the Level 1 training and later expands on the foundations of the Level 1 intensive by covering more advanced postures, and delving more deeply into every topic including: pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and physiology, and other styles of yoga. Our hope is that you will develop a strong personal yoga practice and an authentic voice so that you can teach yoga from your heart.

What makes our program special? Our vision.

• A Principle-based Approach: Our goal is to make learning how to teach poses easy and systematic by using principles that point out the common alignment cues that apply to all poses in a category. These same principles can then apply to poses outside the scope of this training giving you the tools to incorporate new poses into your classes over time.
  
  

• A Practical Approach: In addition to covering many yoga techniques and philosophy, we will place special emphasis on how these practices can apply, enhance, and transform your everyday life and those of your students. You will be able to use what you learn.
  
  

• An Authentic Approach: We believe that excellent teaching comes from practice and life. In this training, you will be given the tools to deepen your understanding of yoga, cultivate a daily home practice and live your yoga.
  
  

• A Supportive Approach: We want to enhance and support your personal journey- whether you decide to teach or not.
  
  

• A Fun approach!!! We hope to make learning all aspects of yoga fun by playing teaching games, providing intriguing questions for self-exploration in journaling, suggesting homework assignments that you’ll want to do, and making learning asana and anatomy more interactive by practicing, observing other people’s poses and teaching each other. 

This training will include:

• How to practice and teach yoga techniques:

  • Learn how to teach over 70 asanas including variations, modifications, use of props, adjustments and common misalignments.

  • Pranayama and kriya techniques focusing on the benefits and real world applications and in depth anatomy of the breath.

• Anatomy and Physiology including how and why yoga works, deep exploration of the anatomy of breath, yoga therapeutics, and practical knowledge you can use in class.
