The Spring 2023 Yoga Teacher Training
We have listened, after many requests, it is happening!
This will be the only Teacher Training offered through Elements in Powell River, a rare opportunity for our city.
How good would it feel to dive deeply into your Yoga practice with a powerful group walking this life changing path with you?
This program is all about balancing the technical with the energetic. Evidence based practice with the mystery of spirit.
Offering the ancient methods of Yoga in a small class size with highly experienced teachers. The goal of developing talented Yoga Teachers through a proper initiation into the Yogic path.
“My Yoga Training many years ago is the greatest gift I have ever gave myself, it opened up levels of healing and vitality I never knew existed, opened up doors to a whole new career and service to the world, there would be no Elements Movement without my initiation into Yoga.” – Andrew Dow
Whether you are yearning to teach, want to use Yoga in your work or home, or looking to immerse yourself in the transformation wisdom of Yoga, this training is for you.
“Robyn and Andrew’s unwavering belief in each of their students and their continued support and encouragement beyond the program is a true testament to their passion. I am eternally grateful to them.”
"In learning you will teach, in teaching you will learn. The way to mastery is through sharing with others."
Phase 1:
Start the journey toward being a yoga teacher! Each day will be filled with diversity, deep learning, and fun. In your initial 30-hours of the training, we set the foundations for you becoming an incredible yoga teacher. Yoga practices are woven into each day, along with interactive workshops on anatomy, alignment, yoga philosophy, and teaching methodology. You will learn about the evolution of yoga over its history, key philosophy, and many of the vital teachings passed down through the lineages of Yoga.
Phase 2:
Deepen your knowledge of anatomy, learn how to adjust and modify poses for optimal alignment, health concerns, and Yoga for special populations. You will learn how to construct smart, safe, and inspiring yoga classes, while developing your own style and flare in teaching.
We will dive deeper into Yogic philosophy, looking at the chakra system and Ayurveda. You will learn more challenging yoga poses and learn alignment principles that will revolutionize your practice.
Phase 3:
In the final portion of your training, you will have the skills, knowledge and confidence to step into your full potential as a yoga teacher. In this retreat-style immersion, you will explore the many styles of yoga (yin, restorative, prenatal, power, acro) and how/when to weave them into your classes. While we teach more advanced topics and skills, we also encourage personal growth, reflection and development as we use the 5-day retreat to embrace the yoga lifestyle and celebrate your journey to becoming an incredible 200-hour yoga teacher.
“The first evening of the yoga teacher training, everyone was strangers and feeling nervous. Within a day, we were all chatting like old friends. By the end of the 200-hours, I felt like I had created a whole new family. I am leaving the yoga teacher training with so much knowledge, and best of all, a community of like-minded friends.”
