North Shore Yoga Teacher Training provides
an opportunity to deepen one’s experience and understanding
of Yoga. This program not only will bring you on a journey
of self-discovery but offers a holistic, well rounded
comprehensive training program. You do not need a desire
to be a teacher to participate. However, for those of
you desiring to teach, the completion of this training
will provide you with the 200 hour certification with
Yoga Alliance. In addition, the program, grounded in
ancient philosophy, will give you the practical tools
to teach Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga. This course will
be intensive, highly rewarding, yet taught in a joyful,
supportive, and compassionate environment.
The goal of
this program is to teach you how to become a dynamic
teacher, while at the same time giving you the space
to bring your own practice to greater depths. You will
learn the fundamentals of teaching a Vinyasa and Ashtanga
yoga class. Through practice, and your own creative potential,
you will gain the confidence required to teach to a group
of students seeking physical and spiritual growth. From
the steady practice of asana, pranayama, meditation,
and self-inquiry, you can discover your own true essence,
maximizing your impact as a teacher. We encourage you
to develop your own “soul-centered” approach
to teaching. Teaching authentically, from your own truth,
is a very effective way to share the path of yoga.
