Yoga Teacher Training

Overview

Our Yoga Teacher Training Course guides you on a year long journey through yogic foundations, practices, and philosophies from a diverse range of traditional yoga methods. Our Yoga Teacher Training Course will cover a variety of topics all centering around effectively educating students and our community in the Traditional practices of various lineages and methodologies of the Yogic Science. Even if your goal is not to teach, our program is designed to give you an experiential immersion in the structure, form, and philosophy of yoga to deepen your own practice.

Our training program is led by Jenni (Yogamaya) and (Bhakta) Ross who have degrees in both Eastern Philosophy and Religious Studies. Our Trainers have studied intensively in the yogic methodologies of the Bihar School, Sivananda lineage, Kriya Yoga, Tantra, Krishnamacharya, as well studying with many contemporary senior teachers. Jenni is currently undergoing a 3 year intensive study in Advanced PranaFlow® Yoga under the guidance of Shiva Rea and the Samudra School of Living Yoga.

An Evolutionary Approach to Teaching Yoga

It is our sincere belief that anyone can practice yoga. An Evolutions trained teacher is armed with a tool-bag of resources in order to instruct many body types, ability levels, and temperaments. Our Trainers have studied and practiced with top educators in the fields of asana, pranayama, methodology, and yoga therapy. We hold a firm commitment to study and pass along the original Vidya (knowledges) of the Yogic Sciences to our students and to offer the next generation of teachers a solid foundation in Traditional Yogic Methodologies giving them an edge above students graduating from most programs throughout the country.

The science of yoga embodies a vast ocean of knowledge, which reaches far beyond the physical postures. Our program takes this into account by raising the bar for immersion studies to meet the standards of top programs around the world. An Evolutions Teacher trainee completes approximately 350 hours of personal practice, research, and hand-on apprenticeship style training while earning their teaching certification. Here’s what some of our trainees have to say about their experience:

“Being in the YTT program has truly been a spiritual journey for me both mentally and physically. I loved the first semester learning about the history of yoga and its principals. I enjoyed the various experiential pieces we worked with and have incorporated these valuable tools in my everyday life. This program is transforming. I feel privileged to have Jenni as my teacher who shares her knowledge and wisdom she has learned over the years in a fun and direct way.”
~Tammy

“The teacher training course with Jenni has been an amazing journey. Her passion for the world of yoga spills over into her teaching skills with her students. It is a very calming and relaxing atmosphere of learning. She is very thorough and all questions are answered in a manner that all can learn. A dedicated amount of time is involved in taking the training, but I personally have found that about 45 minutes to 1 hour per day allows enough time to do the reading and study of terms for the course. It is all so fascinating that the time seems to fly right on by. I would highly recommend the training course if you are at all interested and moved by the practice of yoga.”
~Terrie

“Evolutions’ teacher training provided me with well rounded instruction in the history, philosophy, and application of yoga. Evolutions has been an integral part of my path towards enlightenment.”

Why Choose Our Immersion Course Over Other Trainings?

We firmly believe an in-depth 300+hrs model of hands-on Immersion & Experience better prepares trainees to understand, absorb, and make the confident transition to teaching these ancient practices and principles. Within the basic 200hr model there is not adequate time to cover and understand the inner workings of essential practices and techniques. Yoga is a science of experience and it takes ample amounts of guided practice from a qualified Yoga Trainer to deeply understand the techniques and their benefits, not to mention understanding how to break them down in order to teach others effectively.

With our 300+hr model, we have exceeded ALL standards of both the Yoga Alliance and the International Yoga Federation. Our program includes significant amounts of time of technical learning and practical application on a diverse range of topics and methodologies from the most basic to Intermediate/Advanced. Our Trainers have an established practice and over 10yrs of experience teaching and practicing the higher meditational and breath-work practices that will be covered in the course. We bring 30yrs of study into Yogic Philosophies and Disciplines of a diverse range of lineages and practices into the structure of the course. Our background gives us a leading edge in the field of Yogic Sciences Training, and our 300hr+ model allows us ample time to share and train sincere students to become great teachers.
