AWAKEN THE INNER TEACHER

Yogic practices assist us in awakening different aspects of ourselves. They also help us to release what no longer serves us by undoing patterns in our mind/body/spirit complex. Asanas (poses) unravel bodily patterns; meditation untangles mental constructs; pranayamas (breath/energy) refine the layers of the subtle body. These practices along with self-study and inquiry provide the backdrop for transformation to occur on all levels of being. 

All lessons for this course are generated form a sacred place. SYS believes that sacredness is not a thing, but a lived experience. This course is designed to help both teacher and student tap into that which is sacred.

Our program is designed to introduce material in bite-sized pieces that are digestible. The longer time frame allows for deeper integration of yogic practices into your daily life. We are seeking to avoid the “fire hose to the face” delivery method.

Savitri Yoga School understands that true and lasting learning can really only occur when there is safety. Thus, we consistently seek to provide a safe space for students to explore parts of themselves and to work at a pace that feels manageable and in tune with their natural inner pacing. The instructors are trained in therapy and trauma resolution, which informs the environment of the course.

Savitri Yoga School holds great respect for the embodied wisdom that each individual brings to the training. The program is designed to help align and enhance what is already present within each participant and unite it with the presentation of new material. The program is a whole body, whole being experience that will lead to transformation and integration in a safe, sacred, and effective manner. 

The majority of the course content will be delivered through in-person instruction in our retreat setting. This 8-night portion will focus on the practical application of teaching methodologies, cueing, hands-on adjustments, and sequencing. Student-to-student engagement and skill practice will support skill mastery. This will help build community as well as offer the opportunity to practice what is learned with other students.

Note: We will conduct all practicums in this setting.

This portion is self-paced. Content will be offered in short pre-recorded videos that will prepare you for the in-person portion. These videos will provide you with the essentials you need to be successful in your yoga teaching journey. This is in lecture format with quizzes to test your knowledge.

A detailed manual with easy-to-understand wording will give you all the study and reference material you need. You will leave the course with vast amounts of information to support your continued yoga journey.

 This training is chock full of support from the highest quality instructors. SYS faculty are all highly trained and certified instructors who are dedicated to your growth and development as a person, student, and teacher. Weekly office hours provide intimate contact with the instructors where you can ask questions, receive feedback, and engage in mentoring catered to your individual yoga journey.

Participate as often as you would like with our private Facebook group. This community-building site will offer student interaction, additional space for asking questions, and also additional content to enhance your learning.

In order to ensure you are developing your skills as a teacher, you will complete quizzes as you move through the course material. This provides you with accountability and also ensures that you are never left behind. In the retreat setting, you will complete practicums, exhibiting your newly learned skills. Your progression as a teacher is optimized through feedback and support as you practice and grow in your unique style.
