Lynda …”Those of you who know my background and have taken classes from me know that I am very passionate about yoga and how it can benefit the quality of our lives. As you embark on this yoga teacher training it is about giving you the best training and understanding of this lifestyle of Yoga. We have developed the curriculum from our experience and training over the years and those topics we felt were good and those we felt were lacking. Yoga teachers we have talked to are saying they would like a deeper understanding and application of anatomy. With that in mind, we have made this a main focus so that you are well prepared.”

About this Teacher Training: Yoga is not just a workout. Yoga is a philosophy and a meditative art. Therefore, 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 of anatomy, mindfulness meditation, philosophy, history and an everlasting passion for connecting with people and learning.
