Already a Yoga Teacher?
When the teacher is ready the training appears
Teachers know how much learning is buried in the very act of teaching. Theoretically, a training gives us skills for professional implementation. Did yours? Can you enter any nearly any environment of generally healthy people, assess the population, read the room and teach?
Our goal is to give you the theoretical teachings and methodologies and the experience of practical implementation in the populations you teach. The emphasis on mentorship and supervision in your teachings supports the transition from learning to living and sharing the teachings for your benefit, and for the benefit of all whom you teach, and interact with.
The learning process we go through in the transition from student to teacher reconfigures and primes our vijnānamaya for optimized śraddhā.
My teacher taught me that there were 7 distinct steps experienced in the journey from learning to teaching. None of these steps include taking a workshop, watching a youtube video, taking a group class or listening to a lecture. You will find those on our Yoga platform, but the roots of all we do is in the little-known, following format.
Śravaṇa: listen intently to the teaching
Grahana: grasp the teaching with the mind
Dhāraṇa: memorize the teaching
Manana: reflect on the teaching
Anuṣṭhāna: practice the teaching
Anubhāva: experience the teaching
Pracāra: share the teaching with others
We can apply this formula to near any authentic process we go through where a level of mastery is involved, be it parenting, relationship building, taking up a new hobby, going back to school, learning how to cook a special ancestral food; however, the experience of our trainings prime the system to walk the talk.
