Spira’s journey is a unique self-discovery. Full of readings in philosophy, anatomy, and history. This is a worthwhile journey even if you have already taken a 200-hour class, or if you never want to teach.
Spira has an amazing curriculum.

 

Did you always want to take Spira’s 200 hours of mindfulness and yoga but you live far away. No worries! Finally, Spira’s unique training is available remotely via zoom.

 

All of our training is structured to be beneficial and enjoyable for everyone.

 

This is the perfect training if:

• you are looking to dive deeper into yoga, lifestyle, and philosophy and deepen your practice.
• you are looking for a quality YA 200 program because you wish to teach.
• you took a very short 200-HR program and you are looking for a deeper perspective.

We believe yoga is a path of lifelong learning. Teacher training is a term that we use because we are Yoga Alliance and Washington State Certified Teaching Vocational School and that is the language that they determined for these classes. But that does not mean that this training is restricted to teachers only. We welcome everyone who is curious, who enjoys learning, and who wishes to understand yoga on a deeper level.

 

Yoga is not just a workout. Yoga is a philosophy and meditative art. Thus teacher training should be about enabling students to think, research, and understand. Spira does not believe in teaching script memorization and set sequences. A teacher should understand technique and methodology and construct his or her classes in a way that is safe and creative in mind and body and appropriate for the students who are in class. A well-rounded teacher has a strong grip on anatomy, mindfulness meditation, philosophy, history, and an everlasting passion for connecting with people and learning.

 

Spira does not believe in applications. This is 10 months-long journey open to everyone; we can all learn from one another no matter what is our level of physical capability! If we are to teach the public with many different bodies, we are much better off if our class is diverse! Also, yoga is a philosophy, during the ten-month-long journey, you will find your way. We don’t teach a compressed short course for this very reason. Self Enrichment through Yoga Teacher Training is for everyone. All I need from you is your commitment.

Our training exceeds 200 hours to allow people a bit of flexibility. Our curriculum is ten months long; it is not realistic to demand perfect attendance since occasional flu or family situation does not discriminate between regular time and yoga teacher training time.

 

You can miss three days or a one-weekend block and still have enough hours for the certificate. I will record as many lectures as possible, so there is an opportunity to catch up on the material.

 

I always send out review notes and homework assignments via email. I am also available for my students for a quick catch-up with a cup of tea.

Schedule made to fit into your busy life.
Teacher Training is not only for those who wish to teach. Take this training to enrich your life and deepen your yoga knowledge.

 

If you’ve been searching for a 200-hour program that will provide you with both a Western Scientific approach and Eastern Philosophy, look no more! This training will teach you the foundations and history of yoga, anatomy, and how to teach beginners to advanced practitioners — not just what is “required” for a quick teaching certificate.

 

This is an extended course over 9 months meeting for 1, weekend per month. This structure allows you to read more books, learn more interesting data from all the traditions (modern science and traditional yoga), and truly dwell in the teaching of yoga and the yoga lifestyle. It also provides enough time to practice teaching yoga so that you feel more ready to jump in and actually teach a class by the time of graduation.

 

This course is also perfect for practitioner who wishes to deepen their yoga practice, and deepen their knowledge about history, philosophy, anatomy, and self-awareness. Spira does have a lot of practice teaching during teacher training, but practice teaching can teach you about self-awareness, so you will find it useful whether you are taking the course for self-enrichment or as teacher training. We also have a lot of lectures and book discussions.

Spira’s Teacher Training structure is perfect for the working adult with a family since the meeting times allow you to work around your busy schedule. There is no need to put your life on hold.

 

Dora will be present throughout all the hours. She is the lead teacher, lecturer, and creator of the curriculum. She will help you through the practice teaching exercises. She believes in upholding the highest standards for quality of education but she also wishes to provide a loving family environment. She will be there for you if you need help throughout the year. She also has her two dogs with her at all times, Panni (a standard poodle) and Albert (a maltipu) is ever-present in the studio during the training. Students often find their presence calming and centering. What will you learn during Spira’s teacher training?

Spira offers a deep curriculum that goes beyond what is required by Yoga Alliance. You will read 8 books.

 

You will learn the history of yoga and be well-rounded in classical yogic texts. You will dive into anatomy, nutrition, and self-care including making time for your own practice. We will discuss students’ different learning styles, different teaching styles, hands-on assisting, the business of yoga, and more. You will study sequencing and the safe and healthy choreography of asanas. You will learn the art of mediation, its historical roots, and how it developed into a modern mindfulness practice. Your trainers will artfully overlay ancient yoga teachings and embed them into modern science.

 

We want to make sure that you will feel comfortable teaching at any level; from total beginners starting yoga later in life to advance yogis and flexible gymnasts in their twenties.

 

At Spira, we teach from a deep understanding of anatomy. We keep our classes very much rooted in Western traditions utilizing mindfulness techniques. You will learn how to teach yoga without preaching a particular spirituality.

 

Completing Teacher Training at Spira will allow you to inspire people from gyms to yoga festivals. The training is also open to folks who simply wish to deepen their knowledge in the field of yoga and gain a better understanding of their own practice.
