THIS THING IS LEFT OVER FROM THE ORIGINAL DESIGN
This is where is all begins. Yogamaya’s 200hr Program goes beyond teaching you more. It is an Illuminated Journey that will change the way you see yourself and the world forever. The 10-weekends are a deep investigation into 40 yoga postures, an experiential journey into ancient yogic techniques, a study of sacred texts, and substantial practice teaching time.
Whether you want to teach, deepen your practice or both, you will be immersed in a supportive and interactive environment that encourages self-expression and discovery with a crucial link to the ancient teachings.
The heart of yoga is truly about relationship, and you will become an integral part of the studio environment during the training months, and hopefully for many years beyond.
Asana Alignment, Sequencing, Hands-On Assisting, Anatomy for Yoga
Other Yogic Techniques Meditation, Ayurveda, Pranayama, Sanskrit, Restorative Yoga, Chakras, Chanting, and Mantras
Spirituality Every aspectof the training is rootes int he teachings and wisdom of the Yoga Sutras and Bhakti Yoga. You link all areas of study together by practice teaching almost every weekend.
