200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

DECEMBER 30TH-JANUARY 19TH 2019/20

Monday-Saturday 6am-6pm

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL YOGA TEACHER TRAINING.

While there is a strong focus on asana and becoming a safe asana teacher, Bodhi is dedicated to teaching yoga philosophy and history in accurate historical contexts. This means we dive into topics including what it means to culturally appropriate, how yoga can be "exclusive,"  colonization within a historical context, and how to create a space that is welcoming to all people from different backgrounds and bodies.  We will be discussing religion, politics, body inclusivity, gender, racism, sexism, cultural appropriation, and colonization and how these things are relevant to becoming a yoga teacher. No agenda will be forced upon you, but open discussions will be had on all topics previously mentioned.

As for asana, we will spend our mornings waking up with the sun, practicing the Ashtanga Yoga Primary series to cultivate a sense of discipline and commitment in our personal asana practice.

We strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself the Primary Series before you arrive to make the most out of this training. (This means either finding a local Ashtanga teacher or practicing with videos online from someone like Kino MacGregor)

Your morning practice is followed by philosophy discussions, anatomy, and history lectures to open up the pathways towards critical thought! Our teaching style is very interactive so there are a lot of opportunities for discussion within the group. As teachers we are extremely passionate, and sometimes that does mean that we will use curse words to emphasize our thoughts. 

In the afternoon there will be courses on vinyasa style sequencing, adjustments and alignment, as well as workshops ranging from Inversions to Yoga Nidra.

**We expect great things from you. We truly want to certify teachers that are open-minded and willing to take a look at hard topics that many choose to avoid. We will not accept spiritual bypassing in this training. This means we take self-reflection seriously.

Unlike many other trainings, we prioritize time for practice teaching, including 10-20 minute mini-sequences and a longer master class at the end of the program.
