The Triad Yoga 500 Hour Teacher Certification Program Information
The next 3 day module for Triad Yoga's 500 Hour Teacher Certification Program is February 1-3, 2013.
Yoga's roots are in the soil of India and they have been growing and spreading throughout the world for 5000 years. Once considered an occult practice, yoga is now taken seriously by many contemporary scientists, scholars, and intellectuals. Today's effective yoga teacher is a student, practitioner, historian, linguist, scientist, ethicist, physical therapist, psychologist and philosopher all wrapped into one being who cares for others as much as his or his or her own self. Yoga students go to group and private classes for a wide variety of reasons that range from physical well-being to spiritual guidance. They are seeking beneficial instruction. It is the yoga teacher's responsibility to provide instruction that is ethically grounded in the traditions of yoga while integrating complementary and contemporary knowledge about the body, breath, and consciousness.
While it takes a lifetime of study to achieve mastery of yogic skills, the support of a well designed program and enthusiastic community can accelerate one's progress on the path of wisdom. Join us as we walk this path together in Triad Yoga's 500 Hour Teacher Certification and Continuing Education Program. This 2 year program is designed to be fun, informative, challenging, and transformative, utilizing a flexible module format so that graduates of 200 hour teacher training programs can begin at any time. Although it can be completed in two years, one can work at their own reasonable pace and complete the program over the course of three or four years.
Over two years, there are a total of 6 modules and two 5 day intermediate intensives. The program also includes reading assignments and valuable time assisting the program director in classes and workshops. Three additional guest faculty modules and a special all-day class on refining teaching skills are offered as well. The guest faculty includes Elise Browning Miller (Scoliosis, Back Care and Therapeutics), Nicolai Bachman (Ayurveda, Yogic Philosophy, and Sanskrit Language), and Bo Forbes (Yoga & Emotional Health). At the end of the program, students will have the opportunity to design and teach a workshop class as their final assessment.
Our program is fun, informative, challenging, and transformative!
