Reset, refocus, and rejuvenate and get started with us in beautiful Mexico, just a short drive from the San Diego airport. The initial 7 day immersion will be a deep dive into all things yoga. From the history and lineage to how yoga applies to your 21st century life, our SYB master trainers will guide you into the depths of your best self. Enjoying local, fresh prepared meals, miles away from your normal routine, your mind and body are prepped to take it to a new level of self understanding. While deep in the teachings, you'll learn everything from intro to meditation to how to build into a handstand. We'll take a karma trip to a local orphanage and work in seva (selfless service). In true moderation, we'll wine taste the delicious Mexican grapes in the Valle De Guadalupe.
Following the immersive jump start week in Mexico, the education continues online. With Thursday live online lectures and one on ones for 7 weeks.
To finish the training and bring everything together we head towards the original SYB destination, Nicaragua. Here we will put everything we've learned into actual practice. Additionally, this week we will learn the more specific leadership skills it takes to not just be a regular yoga teacher but an extraordinary one. The sessions will be lead by senior SYB leaders Mantas Zvinas, Steph Currie and Juliana Tordella. During this week, we will also go over fitness jungle gym workouts, fitness beach games, mobility exercises, and general fitness knowledge. The week also includes a catamaran boat day to secluded white sand beaches, many surf lessons, most meals, exploration in the local town of San Juan del Sur, and daily morning workouts, trail running, and social games. At the end of this week, we host our graduation ceremony and a fun theme party to celebrate.
Is a deep dive into your own personal practice. How does your body work in each asana? Why does your specific body feel like it does in this pose? We'll work into personal correction, and always provide a solid WHY to each modification so you can go into your teaching knowing how to better serve safely and effectively. We'll work through your favorite funky variations of poses and explore why or why not they are good for your future students.
Takes the lineage based Vedantas (books verbally passed on for over 4000 years) and brings it into your current day life. What is an energy line and how does it apply to your body? Where are there blockages that are limiting you moving forward? You'll be able to not only fully explain what a darn chakra is, but teach it moving forward. The vedic teachings help us to self heal from the inside out.
Takes the required 15 hours from Yoga Alliance anatomy to a whole new level. We'll work into over 40 hours of anatomy so that you can feel fully present in your body, and know how to safely guide other shapes and sizes. Why do the 26 bones in your feet relate directly to back pain? How can an acupressure point in your hand help calm stress? What exactly is happening when you squat low into chair pose and how you achieve stronger legs doing less work? Ujjayi what? Brachialradial-what? You'll know, don't worry.
Brings the essentials of getting your hands dirty. You'll spend an hour plus every week live with your trainers in a personalized class for your class, as well as observe and learn from the best teachers in the world from YogaGlo.com - As you transcribe cues that you love, discuss the ones that don't work, and get all the WHY?'s out with your trainers, you'll start to understand the inner workings of any yoga teachers sequencing and theming. How can you safely adjust a person with a shoulder injury? How do you teach a class to multilevels of students? What does an outdoor class look like? What is the business behind becoming a teacher? Is teaching privates or public best for your style? (yeah, you'll find out your style by the end)
Once you've graduated our program you will be eligible to attend select SYB trips with a 25% discount in the form of an assistant leader. This is the first step in becoming an official SYB leader and leading your own trips around the world with us.
