Considering Yoga Teacher Training? I


signed up for my fi rst yoga teacher training wanting more. More mastery of my body, peace of mind and most of all, more understanding for why I loved my yoga classes so very much.


Yoga Teacher Trainings (YTT) begin to break it all down. They are laboratories for the body and playgrounds for the mind. Formats and styles vary, but to be accredited for 200-hour YTT certifi cation curricula must include: teaching methodology, physiology and anatomy, philosophy, ethics, and practicums. Trainings range from month-long immersions in exotic locales or renowned yoga cen- ters to multi-weekend formats at local studios. I was lucky enough to secure a spot in a Fairfi eld, CT training at Yoga for Everybody. Over the span of one year our multi-aged and experienced sangha (group) met monthly, for very full weekends with our lead teachers and guest experts. The format was ideal for my life/yoga balance. An unexpected benefi t was my nearby classmates; we studied and practiced together, and we supported each other. Along with the curriculum there is deep self-study; most students emerge knowing themselves better and sharing that growth on the mat.


Since my YTT training, I have taught yoga to children and adults, enhanced my training with teacher workshops, and now offer community outreach at the very studio where I trained. Like rip- ples on the water, there are lifetimes of wisdom to glean through the study of yoga; I am so grateful my YTT allowed me to dip my toe into the waves.
