This program is an extension of Greenhouse Holistic's commitment to nourish our community with the benefits of yoga.
Our Program will provide you with the skills to become a thoughtful yoga teacher as well as enable you to fully embrace a balanced life. Your Asana practice will transform through proper alignment, intelligent sequencing, and sustainable practices. Awaken your essence to clarity, insight and peace through meditation. Learn to align your nutrition and lifestyle through the wisdom of Ayurveda. Experience the art of asana adjustment through Thai massage and hands on adjustments. Deepen your understanding of yogic philosophy by studying the Yoga Sutras and the history of yoga. Sharpen your mind with Sanskrit chanting. Develop an awakened your body, heart and mind by engaging with the path of awareness.
In order to facilitate the transition from student to teacher, upon completion of the program, graduates have the valuable opportunity to assist in one of the core teachers classes for four months. This is a wonderful way for graduates to continue to hone their skills in hands on adjustments. In addition 6 graduates are selected for the special opportunity to teach community classes at Greenhouse immediately following graduation.
Not only does this training lead one on a journey inward, but it fosters one's ability to be present, to live a yoga life and to teach a vast scope of people. We are looking for enthusiastic applicants who are dedicated to spreading the light and love that the science of yoga makes available.
The head instructors draw from years of practice and teaching experience over a broad range of approaches to offer a complete, clear and powerful curriculum.
