Yoga Teacher Training
Feb. 26th -March 15th
Join Jill Satterfield MBC/RYT-500 founder of Vajra Yoga for a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher training at La Muse.
Vajra Yoga + Meditation integrates Buddhist meditation and philosophy directly into the practice of yoga. It is contemplative, contemporary and practical.
Through the direct experience of the body as the home for the mind and heart- physically and energetically - we can arrive at a state of full well-being and self-knowledge. If you have been seeking a practice that is meditative, personal, compassionate and sane, we invite you to join us. Whether you are interested in teaching in a yoga studio, on meditation retreats, a hospital, school, nursing home or just delving more deeply into a meditation and yoga practice, this is for you.
What the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Offers:
Meditation: Develop an established and sustainable meditation practice. The practices you’ll learn are drawn from the Buddhist Vipassana and Tibetan traditions.
Yoga: Attain a deep experiential wealth of knowledge of the foundational yoga postures: standing poses, inversions, hip openers, backbends, twists and balance postures. Develop a personal practice that allows you to self prescribe depending on your needs.
Breath Techniques: Know why you breathe, where you do, and where you don’t. Increase your capacity for breath and experience the interdependence of breath, mind and heart.
Visualization Techniques: Harness the heart and mind to create wellness and deeper inquiry. Turn visualizations into actualizations.
Inner and Outer Alignment: Study of physical, structural anatomy, as well as energetic and subtle alignment. This includes practice with the Central Channel and subtle Bhandha’s. Learn how to diagnose and prescribe poses that are useful for a variety of needs – physical, energetic and emotional.
The Psychology of the Body: Yoga and meditation as therapeutic interventions.
Verbal and Physical and Poetics of Teaching: How to develop kind and direct language skills using artful adjustments and metaphors to meet people where they are.
Compassion Practices: Develop compassion, and ways to contribute to your community through compassionate, skillful action.
Meditation and Yoga for Communities in Need: Apply these traditions and techniques to work with specific populations. Teach those with living with chronic pain and illness, PTSD and at-risk youth.
