New York Yoga is pleased to welcome back Carl Horowitz, Director for the Summer 2008 200-Hour Teacher Training program at New York Yoga. Carl will collaborate with a group of New York Yoga's finest teachers, such as Meg Carlough, Michael Gilbert, Jen Wintzer, Gina Menza, and Emily Wolf
The program will meet: Saturdays and Sundays 12:00-9:00PM (Four Saturdays—May 31st, June 28th, July 12th, and August 16th—will meet from 12:00-10:00PM).
The Teacher Training Program is an immersion into the deeper aspects of Yoga. Whether you simply want to deepen your practice or you feel you want to become a teacher, this program will cover the material and practical applications to get you started on the journey into the next level of practice.
New York Yoga is a Yoga Alliance Registered training facility and this will be a comprehensive 200 hour training that will cover all of the requirements listed by Yoga Alliance for a 200 hour program.
There will be an emphasis on:
1) A thorough and intelligent application of alignment techniques.
2) Understanding vinyasa flow.
3) Effective use of sequencing: learning how to organize the postures in an intelligent order.
4) Methods for applying breath techniques.
5) How yoga philosophy is connected to the physical practice.
6) And anatomy for yoga teachers and practitioners.
From this students will be given effective tools to deepen their practice.
The course will also cover, effective methods for leading group and one-on-one sessions. Different teaching techniques reflect an understanding that different people learn in different ways. Understanding the different ways in which people learn will help you learn effective ways of communicating deeper meaning while leading practitioners through practice. This will also help you deepen your own understanding and practice.
Aside from the work done with the New York Yoga Teacher Training Program Staff, participants will be expected to:
1) Take a minimum of 3 classes per week.
2) Learn to develop a home practice.
3) Form study groups with other participants in the training.
4) Work on practice teaching with other participants in the group.
5) Complete all research and written homework assignments.
6) Observe 10 classes through the training.
7) Learn and practice giving hands-on assists.
Successful completion of this Training Program will lead to the participant being awarded a 200 hour New York Yoga Teacher Training Certificate and the ability to register with Yoga Alliance as a teacher certified at the 200 hour level.
