Phoenix Rising Yoga Teacher Training
Teaching
Yoga with a Whole New Twist
Yoga Alliance Approved 200 Hour Certification Course
A therapeutic approach with a body-mind focus
Become the kind of yoga teacher who enables and empowers students to use their yoga practice to change their lives to overcome stress, heal from the inside, heal relationships, and discover their unique magnificence. For over 20 years, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Practitioners have supported thousands in their inner healing. Now it can also happen within the context of a yoga class using the Phoenix Rising Approach.
This Yoga Teacher Training will cover all of the basics you would expect to find in a yoga teacher training program AND will add a whole new dimension to your teaching. Learn to confidently teach a therapeutic yoga class. Leading a process-based Phoenix Rising Yoga class is different than instructing other styles of yoga. Rather than teaching postures by demonstrating them or adjusting students, you are trained to use language that cues the postures, thereby allowing students to find their own formation of each pose through their individual experience.
In a non-competitive environment of small groups for practice and feedback, you will learn to create a spectrum of therapeutic yoga for your students ranging from a Hatha yoga class to a more structured nine-week series of progressive, thematic classes.
You will learn:
- How to lead student-centered yoga experiences. With the Phoenix Rising Approach, asana is just the beginning. Emphasis is placed on what happens in the asana along with all the other technical considerations.
- How to lead a dual process in guiding yoga experiences. As well as guiding the physical experience, you will also learn how to lead an open-ended inner experience, supporting each student to discover life-enhancing awareness that has the potential for conscious everyday application and subsequent life change.
- How to create an experience for your students that supports them in trusting their own body-mind wisdom.
- How to lead an integration experience that supports students in identifying and using whatever material was brought to their awareness during class.
- Two complete and integrated class routines including warm-ups, breathwork (pranayama), standing and floor postures, relaxation, and integration.
- The benefits, physical and metaphysical attributes, body mechanics and anatomy, alignment, precautions, and contraindications for each posture.
