Completing the Vitality Yoga 300 hour Teacher Training program will certify you as a 500 hour trained teacher with the Yoga Alliance.
Weekly classes on Meridian flow and Kundalini flow yoga and 5 seasonal workshops to balance the energy of your mind, body and spirit according to the season.
Learn which organs are energetically in high tide in each season, and the meridian pathways to regulate during each season through specific yoga sequences and qigong sets.
Develop a laser-focused mind that is able to breathe up and down the meridians while in specific yoga poses in order to create a zen mind and a strong+flexible body
Practice qigong and yoga poses that stimulate the meridians that run through the fascia chains to boost energy flow
Seasonal 'Great Discussions' focuses on a chosen book that relates to mindfulness and yoga teachings. The teachings are woven into a Yin+Qigong class, followed by a communal discussion and contemplation on how these teachings reflect in our current life.
We meet one weekend during each of the 5 seasons according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is about every 10 weeks. Weekly Meridian Flow and Kundalini classes are part of the training as well. The 'Teachers Inner Circle" is a rotation of the teachers in the program to practice teaching and implementing these techniques in a class, and then give each other feedback and support to grow as teachers in the community.
The 300-hour Teacher Training and Masters Path program is a combination of alignment-based vinyasa yoga with Qigong, Kundalini Kriyas, and Chinese Medicine, which follows the 5 seasons in the Chinese Medicine calendar: spring, early summer, late summer, autumn, and winter. Each season has its own emotional signature. This “emotional signature” relates to the organs that are in energetic ‘high tide’ during a given season.
*The difference between the 300-hour Teacher Training and Masters Path is the 300-hour training is for yogis that have completed their 200-hour training and has requirements to be certified with the Yoga Alliance. The Master's Path is the same program without the requirements, which allows any yogi who wants to go further in their practice and join a community to learn and practice together.
We, humans, are part of the natural flow of the seasons that affect everything in nature. The energy of each season affects us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Each season's energy corresponds to a pair of organs and emotions that we focus on in this practice, to align ourselves into a balanced state on all levels of our being.
Each seasonal weekend workshop will provide a plethora of new material to incorporate into your own practices and classes, during that specific season. And because it will be every other month, the trainees will create a strong supportive community to share ideas with, be inspired by, problem-solve, and grow together as strong multi-faceted yogis and yoga teachers.
Many of our students who suffer from chronic anxiety, pain, and autoimmune issues agree that nothing works like this practice to relieve their symptoms. Several, with their physicians’ approval, have reduced their medications after consistent practice. Here are some of the many things you will get:
Join us LIVE in-studio or VIRTUALLY each week and be part of the community.
Weekly classes emailed to you to do on your own time.
Understand the energy of the organs, their meridians and emotions of each season to address and design your sequences around.
Study the ancient texts of the Yoga Sutras and Tao Te Ching in group discussions, and how the teachings apply in your current life.
Included is The Great Discussion each season.
Create homeostasis in the many layers of your BEING, and learn how to share it with others.
