Who Should Attend

This training is an excellent opportunity for those interested in teaching yoga, or for those who would just like to enrich their spiritual experiences and bring more discipline in their practice. Participants receive certificates at the successful completion of Phase 2 and Phase 4.

Curriculum

Training is 8-weeks long intensive program consisting of four phases (total of over 800 hours). Each phase is two weeks long.

The training covers in-depth study and practice that includes:
Morning and evening Asana sessions
Knowledge of Yoga scriptures and philosophy of Yoga
Knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology
Nutrition
Introduction to Ayurveda
Teaching skills
Pranayama and Meditation
Development of a proper personal practice
Service, singing, fun, and laughter

Phase 1 is filled with lots of asanas (postures), knowledge, devotion, meditations, philosophy and some anatomy. After this course both body and mind feel fresh and new. One feels fully grounded spiritually and emotionally. This phase is a definite asset in developing discipline in one's own practices.

Prerequisite: One Art of Living Advanced course and a recommendation letter from an Art of Living Course teacher. Listening to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's tapes on Yogasara Upanishadas and Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is highly recommended.

Phase 2, continuation of Phase 1, is for people interested in becoming yoga teachers. It is more technical. One learns what to teach and how to teach properly. It contains more anatomy and physiology, and some knowledge of Ayurveda. At the successful completion of Phase 2 participants receive a certificate. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Phase 1.

Phase 3 is very similar to Phase 1 but with increased depth and intensity. Prerequisite: Completion of Phase 1 for those not interested in becoming teacher, and successful completion of Phase 2 for those interested in becoming advanced yoga teachers.

Phase 4 is very much like Phase 2 but of advanced nature. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Phase 3. At the successful completion of Phase 4 participants will receive a certificate for completing advanced studies.
