This is an intensive study
course for those wanting to deepen their understanding of Yoga, as well
as prepare students to teach and practice safely, successfully, and compassionately.
Creativity and personal inspiration will be encouraged as you develop
your own teaching style. Partial syllabus includes: Anusara, Iyengar,
Ashtanga, Vinyasa-flow, Pranayama, Lifestyle-ethics, Meditation techniques,
Kundalini, Therapeutics, Restorative, Psychological, and more. You will
receive one-on-one student mentoring during the student teaching process.
However, you don't have to be a teacher, nor even desire to become a teacher
to attend this course. Your Yoga practice will reach new heights as you
become more grounded and peaceful through this ancient practice. The certificate
you receive will be another step on your path to greater self awareness
and understanding. Enabling you to Live your Truth that is Your Yoga.
(This 230 hour program has met Yoga Alliance standards and upon graduation,
you will receive certification from the Asheville yoga Center and be eligible
for a Yoga Alliance certificate.)

What people are saying
I can never thank you enough not just for teaching me Yoga, but
giving me hope through the practice to face this most difficult world.
-J. Blume, Kannapolis, NC
I enjoyed the range of subjects covered and the way we tackled them,
including other yoga instructors and their different styles. This kind
of exposure probably wouldn't have occurred at other institutions
- N. Conrad, Cornelius, NC
Stephanie is a wise and wonderful teacher. She shares her vast knowledge
of yoga and meditation in more than words, but in the mindfulness and
compassion she imparts in every moment of interaction with her students.
- E. Lang, Spartanburg, SC
I was in awe of the education I have received ....much deeper and
more
technical than anything I gained from Medical courses taken in the past..
