Objectives for our 200 Hour Training Modules:

Transform your own practice - A variety of styles explored, plenty of technical Q&A’s, and space for safe yogic exploration to take your practice to a new level. You will cultivate balance in your relationship to your own body, mind, and spirit.

Learn the Art of Creative Sequencing - Along with the basics of crafting mindfully sequenced group and private classes, you’ll learn how to accommodate the needs of whomever shows up and practice the art of improvising.

Hone your Seeing Skills - Practice the fine art of seeing and empathing: learn to distinguish the different layers that make up each person, including the physical body, the emotional body, the energetic body, and the personality; and explore ways to teach that address the whole person.

Know Your Anatomy - At The Art of Yoga School, we believe that for yoga to truly be a transformative, personal practice, it needs to be taught with a studied understanding of human anatomy and energy. We offer in-depth anatomy instruction emphasizing the ways asana and pranayama impact the human body and energy body, and learn how to apply the principles of yoga alignment to students with differing body types, injuries, and in different life stages.

Discover your Inner Teacher - Find and speak from your authentic voice, with confidence and compassion; learn non-judgmental communication techniques that allow you to hold space for your students’ experiences on the mat and create a safe, supportive, and energetic environment for your classes

Singer’s Home Studio in Austin Texas

Austin training takes place at a private residence, near Hyde Park in North/Central Austin. Location shared after signup.

 

Learn, Practice, Transform

Along with Guest Teachers, Lead trainer Singer Mayberry (E-RYT 500) will guide you through topics that will enrich your practice and give you the tools to start sharing yoga with others effectively and safely. Each day we meet will be a mixture of practice, reading and discussion.

Confirmed guest teachers include Courtney Hans, Cyndy Lewis, and more tba soon.

200 hours are the required hours for Yoga Alliance Approved 200YTTs. These hours will be fulfilled with our Lead Trainer and guest teachers.

Trainees will also be responsible for attending at least 10 public classes (15 hours minimum) on their own, outside of the training (online or in person), with a minimum of 4 different teachers. Trainees will log these hours and write 1-2 paragraphs describing their experience for each class. Note* we are not asking you take notes while practicing with other teachers, but to try and reflect on the class after attending. Trainees will be asked to discuss aspects of the classes that they would like to incorporate into their own teaching and why. During our Q&A time, trainees will be encouraged to bring up questions they had regarding their experiences or observations in outside classes as a way to reinforce a learning environment of curiosity and inclusivity, and to discuss and possibly clarify alignment, anatomical, and sequencing principles.

Upon successful completion of all requirements, submitting a final project, and passing a teaching exam you will receive a 200 hour Teacher Training certificate from The Art of Yoga School.
