Deepen Your Yoga Practice While Learning to Help Others

Do you believe that yoga is more than exercise? Has it transformed your life? Would you like to use the ancient tools of asana (postures), pranayama (breath work), and meditation to help others? If so, Whole Life Yoga’s teacher training may be for you! Whole Life Yoga’s Yoga Alliance registered programs utilize a multifaceted approach that includes a combination of classes, clinics, observation, private instruction, and independent study. It also includes practice teaching both to fellow teacher training students and out in the community. Specifically, we cover:

• Personal practice and class design, including asana, pranayama, and meditation
• Anatomy and physiology of yoga
• Yoga philosophy (yoga sutras)
• Teaching methodology and practice

Yoga is also about sangha (community.) We pride ourselves on developing a community of friends who share a deep love of yoga. Many of our graduates stay in close contact with their teacher training classmates for many years to come.

Whole Life Yoga’s teacher training is appropriate for:

• Yoga students who would like to deepen their yoga practice.
• Individuals who would like to coach friends, coworkers, or others in 1:1 yoga practices.
• Health care practitioners interested in integrating aspects of yoga and yoga therapy into their practice.
• Yoga practitioners who want to teach group classes at yoga studios, health clubs, community centers, or other venues.
• Experienced yoga teachers who want to learn the Viniyoga methodology of customizing yoga to the needs of individual students.

About Viniyoga

The Viniyoga approach is an ancient methodology for customizing yoga practices to individual student needs. This approach has been handed down for centuries in India. In the past 100 years, it has been sustained in India and expanded to Europe and the United States by Krishnamacharya and his son, TKV Desikachar. It has been effectively customized to US audiences through the work of Gary Kraftsow and others in the past 30 years.

Viniyoga is a highly adaptable, meditative style of yoga that coordinates movement with the breath. It is a uniquely healing form of yoga and can be used by people of all levels and physical abilities, including those with injury, illness, and limited mobility.
