The Yoga Teaching Apprenticeship Program is an intensive ten-week course, held at Turtle Island Yoga*, designed to train you in the practical skills of teaching yoga. This 60-hour program is suitable for students who have not yet taken a regular 200-hour yoga teacher-training course and want to learn the practical, everyday craft of teaching effectively, and for teachers who would like to deepen their understanding, enhance their classroom presence, and sharpen their teaching skills.

During the ten-week program, you will learn:

·        how to sequence a class so that it is safe, interesting, and effective

·        how to demonstrate poses while focusing on the specific    instructions pertinent to a given class

·        how to do hands-on physical adjustments in ways which are safe and which will deepen your students' understanding of their poses

·        how to use props for instructional and therapeutic purposes

To fulfill the requirements of the course, you will need to:

·        Take two public classes per week* - *either at Turtle Island Yoga or, on Wednesdays 6-7:30 pm at The Yoga Loft

·        Assist in one public class per week* - also at TIY or The Yoga Loft

·        Complete a packet of course-related readings

·        Participate in one group meeting every two weeks for 3 hours, devoted to peer teaching and discussions of the reading materials

Cost $900 per session. All requirements are included in session cost, except for cost of reading materials. You may take as many sessions as you want; the reading materials/discussion will be different each time; plus ongoing consultation and support is a proven, powerful way to rapidly increase your teaching abilities.
