yogaworks 200-Hour Teacher Training in Partnership with I Am Yoga

YogaWorks (www.yogaworks.com) believes the path to becoming a professional yoga teacher is a unique, satisfying and life-affirming journey. YW’s offers one of the world’s most comprehensive Teacher Training Programs for aspiring teachers and serious students of yoga.

At the cornerstone of their teaching philosophy is that the concepts of yoga must be first understood through the body and the dynamic, conscious practice of asana. The YogaWorks method is a blending of the three strands of the Krishnamacharya lineage – Ashtanga, lyengar and the teaching of Desikachar – coupled with a unique approach to sequencing that is specifically designed to meet the needs of the average yoga student. From Ashtanga the method incorporates heat and flow, from lyengar precise detailed instructions and from the teaching of Desikachar, posture modifications-the idea that the practice should fit the practitioner.

YogaWorks’s programs emphasize a student’s personal practice as the source for their creative teaching and include a comprehensive study of the techniques and mechanics of fundamental yoga postures, as well as the tools necessary to teach and inspire others. To deepen their education, students will also study functional anatomy and physiology, explore yoga’s philosophical underpinnings, practice meditation and pranayama, and investigate the ancient science of Ayurveda.
