WildYoga Teacher Training: Earth Element

This will be our first WildYoga Teacher Training weekend based out of Studio M Yoga, in Mariposa, CA. This beautiful studio (started by a WildYoga graduate) is where we will get grounded and tap into the support of the instructors, the student community and the ancient wisdom of yoga. The Earth Element teaches us to slow down, trust in our foundation, take time for self-care, and root down through our feet. It is the perfect place from which to begin teaching yoga as a new instructor!

General Schedule:

Friday 6:00pm-9:00pm
Please arrive having eaten dinner as we begin with an asana practice at 6:30pm.

Saturday 6:30am-9:00pm
We will allow at least one hour for lunch and two hours for dinner.

Sunday 6:30am-4:00pm 
We will allow at least one hour for lunch.

*Please note, once you are registered we will send you a more specific schedule via email. We generally take one outdoor field trip (weather permitting) per weekend, while the other full day is spent in the studio environment.

Curriculum:

Asana: We will break down, analyze and practice standing poses, reclined poses, and key poses for a grounding yoga class.

Pranayama: We will explore and discuss breath awareness vs breath regulation. We will practice and teach abdominal breathing.

Philosophy: We will read and discuss selected Yoga Sutras and review the question: What does yoga mean to you? 

Anatomy: We will review muscles and bones of the feet and legs, and their importance as the foundation of a yoga practice.

Student teaching:  Students will begin teaching each other through one-on-one and small group exercises. We will discuss ahimsa (non-violence) in giving and receiving feedback on your teaching.

Please note:

Food and accommodation are not included in the course tuition, and students are responsible for making their own arrangements. Please feel free to contact us with questions.
