200 HR Yoga Alliance Certified VINYASA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING w/ JACQUI BONWELL
***COMMITMENT TO THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE***
A dynamic 200 hour teaching immersion for those who feel that teaching yoga is your calling with ME, Jacqui Bonwell! This training is also open to those who want to deepen their practice, but will have a heavy focus on practice teaching and all of the following listed below. Learn how to be, not only of great service to yourself, but to the rest of the world. This training will run from October 2012-March 2013. It is in weekend format and offers breathing room and space for reading and spending time with your partners/children/family. This training program will be held in South Portland, ME with half of the program based out of Greener Postures Yoga. For more information on my background, you can read my biography or call me personally to chat.
I have trained a solid handful of Maine teachers, with over 99% of those I have trained actively teaching in the Maine community. If you'd like to talk about my program or need references my phone number is on the contact page of my website and I have references available. This training will produce intelligent, connected, compassionate, nurturing, powerful and confident teachers well versed in history, philosophy, spirituality, anatomy, energy, safe sequencing, how to sequence for specific injury, etc. Please sit with your desire to do this program if all of this speaks to you. Take the time to see if you can make this commitment whole-hearted.
This training will include intense study of: asana (postures), pranayama, chanting, mantra, meditation and other traditional yoga techniques. Analytical training in how to teach and practice the yoga techniques through practice and guided practice will be included. Principles of demonstration, observation, assisting, and instruction will also be a heavy focus. We will explore various styles of yoga, the qualities of a teacher, the business aspect of yoga and the student experience. Human physical anatomy and physiology (bodily systems, organs, etc.,) energetic anatomy and physiology (chakras, nadis, etc.) will be an intense part of this training. All benefits, contraindications and healthy movement patterns will be explored, as well as injury and modifications. Yoga philosophy, yoga lifestyle and ethics for yoga teachers will be also be addressed. You will spend a significant amount of time practice teaching, receiving feedback, observing other teaching and hearing/giving feedback. You will spend time assisting in the training and in class. You will also have a requirement of non-contact hours of oral reports, observing/assisting 15 classes inside & outside the training and assisting 5 classes.. I have incorporated a lot of your non-contact hours into the program so that you will have minimal outside work. Reading will be a big piece of your self study. In order to become a powerful, well-equipped teacher, you MUST be dedicated to your practice, your training and your study.
This program meets the Yoga Alliance (based in Pennsylvania) requirements to be 200 hour certified under them as a Registered Yoga Teacher. It is an optional certification. Most studios/gyms, etc. want their teachers to have at least 200 hrs of solid training and some like you to have this particular certification. What is important to me in a training is personal attention by a committed teacher that follows you in a progression. There is something to be said for the teacher/student dynamic and having a teacher who follows you beginning to end. I have taken programs where multiple outside teachers come in and they were GREAT programs but I was missing having the mentorship of a teacher. Someone who is there for you even after the training. With the exception of no more than 2 sessions in this training total, I am your teacher and will nurture, follow and foster your growth from beginning to end in this training. I am a committed, experienced, compassionate and attentive teacher dedicated to your internal and external success. Separate from being a Mother...this stuff is my life!
