The North Raleigh 2009 Teacher Training Series

The North Raleigh teacher training is designed for both yoga students who want to learn to teach and for current yoga teachers who want to hone their skills and expand their qualifications. Patience is both a Yoga Alliance Registered teacher at the highest level (E-RYT 500) and a Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor.  She has taken over 500 contact hours with John Friend Anusara's founder and was personally mentored through certification by him which was both a distinct honor and an incredible challenge.  Patience brings to this program all his teachings along with a clarity, organization and love for teaching that will create the most skillful and knowledgeable teachers in the area.  By itself, the program will provide students with the tools to help their students with many therapeutic and alignment needs while uplifting their hearts.  When this 72 hour, seven weekend program combines with the 108 hour, nine weekend Anusara Immersion program it meets all the requirements for the Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certification.   In the teacher training students can expect to study teaching methodology and practicum, anatomy and physiology, assists and adjustments, class planning and sequencing, the business and ethics of teaching, as well as some yoga history and philosophy.  The Immersion program goes deeper into the heart in the study of the lineage of Anusara philosophy, Sanskrit terminology, subtle body anatomy, study of scriptures, alignment and practice.  Whether you have already taken the Immersion, are entering the Teacher Training first or selecting to just take the teacher training alone, you can expect your heart to be expanded and your competence as a teacher and yoga practitioner to excel.

"A heart resolved on abiding in the pure space of the heart
is continually refreshed and renewed by this deep intention."
