The Yoga & Movement Center in downtown Walnut Creek is again offering
a 200-hour, Yoga Alliance-registered program that will help you deepen
your personal or teaching practice. The yearlong curriculum is based on
the techniques and philosophy specific to the teachings of BKS Iyengar.
His method focuses on outer alignment and detail, which results in inner
strength and balance.
I'm pleased to announce that once again this session I'll be co-teaching
with Dennis Eagan. Dennis was certified by Rodney Yee at Piedmont Yoga
and teaches with an Iyengar-influenced style, combined with the breath
awareness of vinyasa and an emphasis on yoga as an energy practice. My
own teaching style derives from my Iyengar training with Judith Hanson
Lasater and my training as a Feldenkrais practitioner. Together, Dennis
and my backgrounds prove a powerful combination that will provide a broad
and exciting learning experience for all new students.
We will meet Saturday and Sunday one weekend a month for 12 months of
intensive study that will incorporate asanas, discussion, lecture, experiential
sessions, and home practice while learning a style of yoga that minimizes
injury and stress to the body. The program is formulated to give students
a workable schedule that is time-sensitive to the demands in our busy
lives. Upon graduation, students may receive their internationally recognized
teaching certification.
Mission:
Upon completion of the Advanced Studies/Teacher Training Program students
will be deeply grounded in the Iyengar yoga tradition while expanding
their knowledge of yoga as therapy for the mind, body, and spirit. Students
will leave the program with a strong base in the therapeutic aspects of
both teaching and practicing yoga. This course is designed as a rich exploration
of self-discovery, self-awareness, and health taught in a supportive and
friendly environment.
