Be the Living Remedy

As a yoga teacher, your students will look to you to show them the way to natural health, how to be the “living remedy,” how to practice the art of yoga safely, how to implement a life of moderation, fulfillment, and activism, and how to feel you can give of your generous spirit and attract those things that will support you without getting depleted or sacrificing yourself in the process.

We live in a time of uncertainty, easily provoked by fear and confusion in a state of separateness. We often worry about the future. Our stress is contributing to depression, addiction, and anxiety like never before. It is empowering to navigate a stressful world and teach how this great art and science can support us during a time of great ascension, transformation, and connection to what truly nourishes us and binds us to all people and our global humanity.

It is crucial to turn our minds inward and learn to calm any restlessness by building a resilient spirit and connecting to our bodies and hearts. Yoga and Ayurveda balance naturally, and it is vital to know how these great sciences can be shared to prevent and complete wellness.

Seasoned mentors who have lived first-hand through obstacles that arise in the yoga teaching profession can be invaluable for 200-hour teachers, especially if the mentor can guide you with student teaching, advanced asana, advanced philosophy, advanced anatomy, advanced meditation, spiritual awaking, studio ownership, teacher training program development, growing a practice of private clients and how to balance yoga and life on and off the mat!  Your life, livelihood, relationships, family, vision, and destiny express your natural wholeness. Karmas take on a resolution as deep-rooted seeds dissolve and obstacles are freely removed.

Yogaspirit® Studios was one of the first wave of schools to be registered with the Yoga Alliance back in 2000 and is still certifying teachers today. I have watched teachers graduate from a variety of trainings. Some are excellent, and some are stronger than others. Many times, students retake their 200-hour training feeling that although they got great personal growth experiences, they lacked confidence as teachers. Some of them never got introduced to the Yamas and Niyamas or graduated feeling insufficient to work with beginner students sequencing safely formatted classes.

Yogaspirit® offers a proven curriculum and trains yoga professionals to understand a student's unique physical needs. Professionals are also trained to understand the nature of the student’s mind and state of consciousness and how to work with various afflictions in the classroom and in private sessions.

As a teacher, it is helpful to have mentors who have walked the path of personal transformation and understand realization and liberation according to the Vedic teachings.  The lamp of knowledge can then light the way for other individuals on their journey from a state of imbalance (roga) to a state of union (yoga), according to the Yogic teachings.

Are you passionate about yoga and considering becoming a yoga teacher?

If you have practiced yoga for several years, you’ve likely noticed positive changes in your body, relationships, and overall life. You might be incorporating pranayama and meditation into your routine or finding that your mind occasionally struggles to center itself. While your journey has already brought you many insights and skills, you may feel there is still so much more to learn about yoga.

Yogaspirit’s 200-hour program offers an incredible opportunity for aspiring yoga teachers. This program includes 36 asanas, numerous assists, modifications, and established teaching methods that build upon a solid foundation. Even if you have completed a different teacher training program, this course will help you advance your practice and teaching skills. You'll learn to teach beyond Yogaspirit’s seven characteristics of the beginner body, which will help you to see familiar poses in new ways, tailored to different traits and attributes.

Moreover, the program will deepen your understanding of therapeutic-based yoga applications, anatomy, and biomechanics. You will learn strategies for linking poses and creating workshops, better understand anatomy and body systems, and develop skills to teach meditation and grow your private yoga business.

Embark on this journey to enhance your practice and prepare yourself to become a skilled and knowledgeable yoga teacher.

How can Yogaspirit advanced trainings make a difference?

This course will also focus on spiritual growth through learning inner practices and understanding how your prana and consciousness activate spiritual energy. We will study the Sutras and explore how to naturally apply more Ayurveda to your life and practice.

You will gain experience with the mystical side of yoga and learn about esoteric teaching, which you only know once you’ve established a firm inner practice of pranayama and meditation. The Yoga Sutras will be a great focus as we look closely at the last three limbs of Raja yoga. Shabda, Naadam, and vibrational sound will provide a platform for alchemy and energetic transmission, and the teaching of Ayurveda will be shared so you can liberate habits and tendencies that are setting you back or sabotaging your life.

You will acquire flexible and strong qualities: acceptance, humility, patience, compassion, forgiveness, adaptability, cooperation, and collaboration, as well as refined, restrained, discerning, resilient, steadfast, and courageous speaking without fear from the heart. Yogis know how to take yoga off the mat and into life and live in love and genuine joy.

What can yogaspirit training do for you?  This is what you will get.

You will learn from experienced teachers who have been practicing, staying educated, and living their yoga for over 30 years! I have over 40 years of experience living, teaching, and leading the Yoga and Ayurveda businesses. In addition, my teaching is accessible and transformative. The curriculum is grounded in practical examples of what it is like to be a modern-day spiritual householder while raising a family. I have devoted my life to healing and training others to be part of the “living remedy.”
