The first 100 hours of Bliss for EveryBody’s Yoga Teacher Training is about deepening your personal practice, working through classes, lectures, information and exercises with an emphasis on expanding your knowledge for personal growth.  If you are looking to empower yourself, expand your knowledge, build a strong basis of asana practice and dive into yogic philosophy and theory, this course will deliver all of that and more.

Bliss for EveryBody’s Yoga Teacher Training is 200+ hours of learning to understand and master various aspects of yoga.  The second 100 hours looks at your ability to understand and communicate, then takes it a step further as you learn to teach and share your own yoga practice, your growth becomes exponential as you gain experience through various methods and techniques.  There will be many successes and failures, you will gain confidence and remain humble, some days you will have bounds of energy and others will feel endlessly challenging, and because of this there is a metamorphosis that takes place as you learn to lead, teach and share yoga.  It is not easy, but that is part of the beautiful process.  I cannot wait for you to experience the influx of ‘aha’ moments…suddenly something that once seemed challenging and impossible will become clear, available, accessible and possible.

The first 100 hours are over a 2.5 month time period and is considered a big commitment.  We will meet for about 9.5 hours each Sunday (a total of 9 Sundays).

The second 100 hours is more invensive and can be completed in 9 straight days or 4.5 weekends.  This time together is an even BIGGER commitment, one that is not to be taken lightly.  The financial investment for the program is between $2,700 and $3,300.  

Hybrid scheduling means that there is a combination of how the information is delivered and how often or how long it is scheduled, this is based on amount of information per subject/topic.  Block scheduling is when you have a 1 hour period everyday of training where you will learn a subject, like math class in high school (some topics learned this way are asana, philosophy, anatomy and more) and workshop scheduling is when all of the topic’s information is delivered in 2-3 hours as if you had attended a workshop (topics that will be delivered this way are Ayurveda, the Chakra System, History, Kriyas and more).  These methods of delivery and scheduling help you learn topics that incorporate a lot of information progressively, where smaller/shorter topics are able to be covered more quickly.  

Yes!  There is homework, projects and assigned readings.  The purpose of all homework and assignments is to help you work towards mastery of the information.  I have learned through teaching, training and researching that information is best absorbed if you are able to put it in your own words and have a dialogue about the information.  This is what the homework is.  If you take fairly good notes and pay attention, you will fly right through the homework, because the homework is usually just a short summary of each class (2-5 sentences outlining important points you learned regarding a subject/topic that was taught/discussed that day).  For example on the first day of training you learn the Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar), you summarize what they are, why they are important, the breathing technique associated with them and any other information you feel is pertinent to understanding and explaining/teaching them.
