Have you dreamed of teaching yoga? Or do you just want to deepen your own understanding and practice of yoga? Join us for this indepth journey into the foundations and therapeutic applications of Hatha yoga.
Experience four months of transformation and an immersion into hatha yoga. Kind Yoga teacher training program is designed to help you cultivate an experience and an inquiry into yoga which is much more than studying poses. (45 postures, alignment, meditation practices, breathing practices, philosophy, history, will be studied and explored in depth) Our intention is to assist you in finding your own path and your own truth. Yoga is a lifetime study, we trust you will recieve the proper foundation for your journey here.
The Kind Yoga teacher training teaches “Hatha Yoga” – with a focus on “ahimsa and karuna”, attention to kindness and compassion with the self and others. Hatha Yoga is appropriate for all ages, and abilities. It is a total health system that works toward the balance of body, mind and spirit. Patanjalis Sutras, a 2000 year old text on yoga, describes “Ahimsa” as the first yama on the eight fold path.
Developing a compassionate attitude is a good place to begin with the study of hatha yoga. We consider the attitude of compassion the first “alignment principle”.
This 200 hour teacher training course carefully covers everything you will need to know to get you started teaching. In this comprehensive training, you will study and practice many aspects of Hatha Yoga in detail. This includes: asana (postures), breath (pranayama), meditation, yoga philosophy, and the opportunity to be with great company in the circle of friendship. By giving you a solid foundation, this course prepares you for the lifetime journey of becoming an extraordinary yoga teacher.
The Kind Yoga Teacher Training was the subject of a feature article in the Cape Healing Arts magazine, including photos and text that provide a sense of what it is like to be in the training. You may view the article here.
Words can’t express how fulfilling this experience has been for me – and more to come!” Janet Hartman,YTT 2009
3 misconceptions about Kind Yoga Teacher Training:
1. I have to be in perfect shape and very flexible to be a yoga teacher: yoga is for EVERYBODY, all abilities are welcome – you will learn to modify, and teach to students of similar abilities. Kind Yoga can be restorative, moderate, or powered up!
2. I am too old, too young to start a yoga teacher training: yoga is for EVERYBODY, all ages can learn yoga – and your age today is the age that it’s perfect to learn yoga now.
3. I don’t have enough time: there is never enough time, you make it, you are the boss of your life, and you will find with yoga you have more quality time for everything.
