How is an Anusara Teacher Trainning?

The Anusara yoga Teacher Training is focused on the study and practice of the Methodology to teach Anusara® yoga. Each session of the course will start with a 1,5 – 2 hours parenthetical class. The rest of the day will be dedicated to the study and practice of the art of teaching yoga. At the end of the course each student will teach part of a class and will receive detailed feedback that will help him to refine his teaching so it becomes more effective, not only with the biomechanic instructions but in how to create a connection with the heart of the student amd make of each class an auspicious environment for transformation. There will be also homework and readings

Trainning Structure

Anusara® yoga Teachre Trainings appear in different formats. I usually like to do a course of the same length than the Inmersion. At the end of the full 2-years program, Immersion plus Techer Training, participants will have completed more than 200 hours of theory, study and practice. This course is registered as a 200 hour Teacher Training with the Yoga Alliance.
