Yoga Teacher Training
The practice is breath... balance of intensity and grace allowing each student to "get out of their own way" and allow their healing powers to inspire each practice. This 200 Hour Foundational Yoga Teacher Training facilitated by Sue Park is a course of study and practice. This course begins with the principles and practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, a systemized, dynamic, energetic sequence of postures that creates internal body heat, thereby promoting physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. This program then focuses on creating intelligent & intuitive Solar and Lunar Flows which are forms of Hatha Yoga that uses the complete yogic breathing and internal focus to move one’s attention inward. The combination of breath and focused attention brings great ease to the body, as it releases tension that is often the root cause of illness. In addition, students will study the philosophy & history of yoga and develop a meditation practice.
