Are you ready to break out of your cage and learn to live in a creative, empowered way? Do you want to take your yoga practice to the next level? Do you want to learn to teach yoga? Do you already teach yoga, but want to take your teaching to the next level?

We all want to live to our fullest potential, to share our gifts with the world around us, in a practical way, but also in a way that allows us to express our passion and heart. STROGA is taking Yoga Teacher Training to the next level. In this Accredited 200 hour Yoga Alliance Program, you will learn how to teach intelligent Yoga Asana, the 8 limbs of yoga, the history of yoga, basic anatomy, the art of assisting, meditation, pranyama, auryvedic medicine, the chakra system, Thai massage, and the basic tools of being a teacher. You will be practice teaching and learning to give and receive feedback.

BUT AT STROGA, WE WON’T STOP THERE….

When you are strong and properly aligned in your body, you are empowered and assertive in your life. We will teach you the basic tools of teaching: Timing, Tempo, Pacing, Forward Moving Energy, Emphasis, and Essential Languaging. STROGA’S Teacher Training will not only teach you how to use these tools in the classroom, but also in your relationships, in your workplace, in everyday life. At STROGA we believe in connecting Functional Training and Movement Arts. We strongly believe that physical movement should be natural, fun and effortless, like the way you moved when you were a kid, without thinking.

When you are physically strong and healthy in your body, people in your life will notice. You will stand with more confidence. You will speak from your belly and people will want to listen. You will learn to trust the wisdom of your body and not need to look outside yourself for answers. You will learn to move naturally in your own skin, and this will translate to more joy and freedom as you move forward in your life.

Our Teacher Training Program is made to revitalize your living. Our commitment is to empower you not only in the classroom, but in every aspect of your life. We believe that Yoga Teaching is not just something you do for an hour a day, but in every minute, every interaction, every daily action you take in your life. This is what sets us apart as an accredited 200 Hour Teacher Training Institution.

Sound too good to be true? Well we’ve got more. You will learn the art of building your own Yoga Business, the intelligence behind selling and marketing yourself, and the basic skills you would need to open your own business. This session will be led by DC business owner and entrepreneur, Doug Jefferies.

The training is held over seven months, so you can easily work it into your busy life. We will meet one weekend per month from May 5th, 2012-Nov 4th 2012. You will be working closely with your peers, Senior Teachers of STROGA, and several Master Teachers from the DC area and beyond. In May you will be a registered Yoga Teacher at the 200 hour level through Yoga Alliance.

Teacher Training starts in May, 2012!  Please email our Yoga Director, Angela Meyer, at angelam@stroga.com for more details.
