So proud that Spectra's teacher training programs tick off so many of these critical boxes!

Focusing on kids age three to sixteen, this 20 hour course will give you the tools you need to create your own yoga program for children, tweens, and teens (and Yoga Alliance CEUs, too!). Through the use of themes, games, music, books, and other props, we will transform traditional practice into a creative, stimulating, andmost importa...ntlyFUN yoga experience for kids. We will delve deep into the world of interactive asana and movement, and cover yoga fundamentals such as philosophy, breathing, and relaxation. You will experience two hour-long mini yogis classes, and learn how to design empowering kid-specific practices that encourage children to be strong, self-confident, and healthy in mind, body, and spirit.

Here’s something I’m really looking forward too! This week Fri 5-9 PM and Sunday 9-5 PM (Lunch 12-2) I get to finally debut my new beast of an anatomy lecture... It’s geared for everyone too. From yoga student to yoga teacher my intention is to help you better connect and understand your body . Through this understanding we can practice smarter and teach intelligently respecting the human body and it’s functions Other yoga anatomies still waste all their time getting you to memorize terminology and the names of muscles & bones, all the stuff you use in class right? You may learn a little of that but the concepts and practical applications are waaaay more important! #thisaintyogurusanatomy What we’ll learn: The interconnected nature of our body & holistic systems Alignment: Human alignment vs Yogi alignment Fascia, muscle chains & how they embody our poses The impact yoga has on changing and remodeling our body over time Biomechanics: joint structure & function, mobility vs flexibility, stability & strength Core: modern views of what embodies your core and how that relates to breathing & spinal stability Neuroscience: systems of balance, perception, & motor learning Preventing & mitigating yoga injuries Yea so much good stuff, the kind of stuff that should be in every modern yoga teacher training anatomy and yet so many are still stuck in traditional memorize robot mode muscles-bones-ligaments Can’t wait to see you there! Shoot me a message or comment below if you’d like more details. The link for the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2009892429313566/?ti=ia Best part: it’s super cheap! It’s $99 for spectra members and $129 for non-spectra folks. See more

We could not be prouder of these amazing yoga teachers! Help us celebrate their graduation from the first module of SSOYs 300h Teacher Training Program! Congratulations!

The Yoga Sutras are the foundation of yoga philosophy according to the path of Raja (Royal or Classical) Yoga. Widely regarded as the authoritative text on yoga..., they are a collection of aphorisms (general truths), outlining the eight limbs or practices of yoga. These 196 sutras or "threads" (as sutra translates from Sanskrit) of wisdom offer guidelines for living a meaningful and purposeful life. Join me for a 5 week journey though the Yoga Sutras, and see how these ancient practices can be effectively translated and used for modern day living. We'll explore: The Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. Are you a yoga teacher and want to learn more about yoga off the mat? Do you want to add more "Yoga" to your asana classes - to create more meaning and transformation for your students? This course is for you! And you can earn 20 hours of CE* (continuing education) with Yoga Alliance if you are a YA registered teacher. Are you a student of yoga - but yearning for more meaning in your life? Are you ready to take a deeper journey in towards your authentic self? This course is for you too! Join me Thursday nights, 6:45-9:30pm, March 7- April 4 Required book: Swami Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali $275 for Spectra members $299 for non-members. . . #yogasutras #patanjali #8limbs #rajayoga #8limbsofyoga #yamas #niyamas #asana #pranayama #pratyahara #dharana #dhyana #samadhi #yacep #YAapproved #yogateacher #yogastudent #yogaoffthemat #ce #yoga #yogaeverywhere #yogaanytime #spectrayoga #teachertraining #yogaphilosophy @ Spectra Yoga See more
