Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training

[Guest guest]

If you're an ashtangi and in S. California, I would take Tim Miller's

teacher training.

Info available at: *http://www.ashtangayogacenter.com/training.html

*

Don't know anything about Dana Rae Pare. Tims' training focuses on 1st

series.

Very informative!!!

 

BTW -- Just my opinion, but I believe Yoga Alliance certification means

nothing.

That somebody has a 200 or 500 YA certification says nothing about their

competence as a teacher.

There is no real rigor about what is required for Cert. I've seen folks get

YA certification that have been practicing themselves less than a year.

 

Conversely, some of the best teachers in the world do not have YA cert.

Hi ,

 

I am going to Caroline Klebl's in a month in Hawaii - she also runs one in Costa

Rica and in Bali, so I can give you feedback when I come back if you like.

 

She seems to have ticked all the boxes for me - if you want, you can check out

her site - www.sourceofyoga.com

 

Take care,

Sophie

I'm in the UK, but fancy going somewhere warm for TT. California sounds

ideal and searching the web I came across this one with Dana Rae Pare

in San Diego (http://www.infinite yoga.com/ html/teacher_ training. html).

It seems very comprehensive and offers a lot more than any others I've

seen. It also includes Yoga Alliance accreditation, which I think is

important.

 

Does that make sense? And can anyone give me feedback on Dana and her

instruction?

 

Thanks,

Harvey

 

PS I did think of going to India, but understand that you cannot go to

Mysore and ask for accreditation (plus there is no Yoga Alliance

certificate) so I think California is the right choice for me.

Tim Miller will also be doing a primary series teacher training in

Charlottesville, VA. in July. It is very warm and beautiful here then.

Agree with you about Yoga Alliance training.

 

Guruji's wisdom

 : " Yoga is not mine. But don't approach yoga with a business mind–looking

for worldly gain. If you want to be near God, turn your mind toward God, and

practice yoga. As the scriptures say, 'Without yoga practice, how can knowledge

give you moksha [liberation]' "

~Yoga International January/February 1994

Just to clarify... Yoga Alliance doesn't certify anyone... When you

complete a YA training you're " Registered " not " certified " It means

you now have the right to be listed on their website if you pay your

yearly fees.

Hi,

 

As it is true that 200 hours come nowhere close to making one a good

yoga teacher, we are now opening up the workshops which were part of a

200 hour training to anyone who wants to deepen their practice. This is

what a 200 hr training really does for you anyway, the teaching part has

to come from a long time of practice and reflection. So here are the

details on our upcoming workshop in NYC in case you are interested

(there will be more offered in august, see www.ashtangayogasangha.org

for updates):

 

Ashtanga Yantra: Anatomy, Asana, and Philosophy

with Lori Brungard, Christopher Hildebrandt, and Sarah Plumer

 

Dates: April 11-19, 2009, register by March 18, 2009

Location: The Shala, 815 Broadway, 2nd fl (btwn 11-12 Sts) New York City

Cost: $1100 by March 18, $1250 thereafter

Contact: lori, 646.319.5988

 

*Daily Mysore Practice *In-depth study of Yoga Sutras

*Comparative study of Ashtanga Asanas *Anatomy in Asana

 

A Yantra is a geometric form used for meditation. Asana and Anatomy

create a three dimensional yantra, meditated upon through the movement

breathing system of Ashtanga Yoga. Patanjali's classical eight

limbed Ashtanga system details the goal: inward movement toward the

bindu, the central point of stillness.

In this workshop we will begin an in-depth study of the mind through the

Yoga Sutras, and the underlying principles of the body through anatomy

and comparative asana work. Through this process, we seek to unify the

physical and spiritual realms both intellectually and kinesthetically.

 

The material in this workshop is the same as Module Two of the 200 hr

Intensive.

 

Lori Brungard, Christopher Hildebrandt, and Sarah Plumer are all

long-time students of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Rangaswamy, and

are authorized to teach by KPJAYI. Each one has also studied for ten+

years with senior teachers in their special field.
