What to expect in this program
Lead Instructor
Andrea Russell, the head instructor, has undergone advanced training with Scott for many years and taught in teacher trainings for several years. Participants will receive extensive instruction in the art & science of Hatha Yoga and the skills needed to safely & competently teach this ancient practice.
Many yoga schools teach the outer form of yoga postures (a knee here, an elbow there...), but neglect teaching the art of modifying the techniques to the needs of individuals. We emphasize that form follows function in the practice of Hatha Yoga. Rather than memorizing endless names and details, you will be encouraged to think for yourself as you refine your observational skills. We firmly believe, to paraphrase the old adage, it's better to teach a man to fish than to simply give him a fish to eat.
What Sets Alignment Yoga Apart
In addition to our quality instructors and low student-teacher ratio (10:1), we have placed emphasis in the following areas:
- Our exploration of the techniques of asana, pranayama, bandha and kriya are comprehensive and backed with a rigorous study of anatomy and physiology. You will understand not only the inner workings of these techniques, but develop an extensive array of techniques to transmit your understanding to your students.
- Our study of the history and philosophy of the Hatha Yoga practice is guided by instruction from master Sanskrit scholar and former University of Bombay professor Nagindas Sanghavi. Nagindas, a scholar from India with over 70 years' teaching experience, personally taught the Alignment Yoga staff the grace & beauty of such seminal texts as the Bhagavad Gita and The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and those insights are shared with students.
Dates:
The 200-hour training occurs in 12 weekend sessions. Each weekend, the program runs from 12PM to 7PM on Saturday and 9AM to 6PM on Sunday.
