Ananda Yoga Teacher Training at Ananda of
Portland
Starting September 2nd, 2008 and
continuing to April, 2009
 Experience
the depth and breadth of
Ananda Yoga and learn to share the life-changing
experience of yoga with others. With small classes and expert,
individualized instruction, this is far more than a training program on
how to teach yoga postures; it’s a transforming experience in the complete
science and application of yoga.
Combining the power of learning over several months and concluding with
a week of full immersion, this program is unique - providing
students with a strong sense of confidence and broad foundation from the
day they graduate.
The power of this offering is
that you can fit Yoga Teacher Training into your active life! Classes
are held weekly on Tuesday evening, bi-monthly on Friday evenings and
Saturday mornings, plus a one-week retreat at the
Expanding
Light Retreat Center at Ananda Village in California. Overall, the
course will last about 6½ months.
What’s special about Ananda Yoga Teacher
Training?
-
It’s a high-quality professional training;
we think there’s none better. It’s registered with
Yoga Alliance at 200
hours, so graduates can immediately become Registered Yoga Teachers
(RYT-200)
-
Small
classes (maximum of 15 students) mean more individual attention for you.
-
You’ll
experience yoga as a complete way of life. While your main focus will be
asanas, you’ll also learn classical meditation and pranayama, study
essential yoga philosophy (including Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the
Bhagavad-Gita, the chakras, and more), and learn to apply the
time-honored techniques of yoga in your daily life. We'll also explore
the spiritual dimension of yoga
-
You'll learn anatomy and physiology for yoga teachers.
-
You'll learn how to teach asanas in their essential form as well as how
to modify asanas for those with special needs (seniors, people with
injuries, etc.)
-
You'll gain confidence and polish through practice teaching sessions
and guidance from the instructors.
-
Ananda
Yoga itself is special—a truly unique, yet classical, approach to hatha
yoga, viewing it as above all a spiritual practice. In addition to
familiar asanas, you’ll learn powerful techniques that no other yoga
tradition offers.
-
You’ll
enjoy a special week-long stay at The Expanding Light, Ananda’s retreat
center in Northern California for the last week of the course.
-
 You’ll
receive valuable support after you graduate:
-
Our
teaching staff are available to you when questions come up.
-
Advanced
teacher training—including advanced techniques, refining your teaching
skills, deeper study of yoga philosophy, and yoga therapy.
-
A free
membership in the Ananda Yoga Teacher Association, with discounts on
continuing education, a valuable newsletter, an e-mail Q&A forum, and
more.
It’s a truly
unique experience that, if you’re like most participants, will be
life-changing. To apply,

I hope
you’ll join us for this transforming experience. Blessings to you,
Uddhava (David B. Ramsden), E-RYT 500
