About
Join Darren Rhodes and Sam Rice for the YogaOasis 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training.
We will explore and practice the many facets of yoga, to inform and support your efforts to effectively teach asana. We seek to offer a teacher training experience that honors where yoga comes from, while also supporting a safer container for learning, sharing, and growth.
The aim of this training is twofold: 1. Personal practice: Evolve your relationship to yoga, by in-depth study of the classic forms and biomechanics of asana (poses), meditation, and pranayama (breathing) practices. Delve into a comprehensive exploration of the more esoteric aspects of yoga philosophy, history of yoga, anatomy and so much more.
Not interested in teaching yoga? This program also functions as a stellar resource for personal development.
2. Teaching asana: Learn to skillfully instruct a wide variety of class levels with an alignment-driven focus, which includes designing skillful sequences for each. Ascertain how to succinctly articulate the essential cues for a plethora of poses to help mitigate risk, maximize reward, and offer access to the essence of practice. Explore ways to make your classes more inclusive.
Completion of this program allows graduates to register with Yoga Alliance® as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) at the 200-hour level.
Required Materials (not included in tuition): 2025 Book List will be sent to all participants ahead of start date. Estimated book investment = approximately $110
