Teacher Training
The Heart of Wisdom Yoga 200 Hour Yoga Immersion is a Yoga Alliance-registered 200 hour teacher training that introduces students to the history and foundation of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga practices from an anatomical lens, combined with modern considerations for practicing yoga.
This training is rooted in the wisdom of Hatha yoga with the addition of Vinyasa sequences and theory and philosophy from Hatha, Vinyasa, and Katonah traditions. We emphasize teaching in a trauma-informed way and share methods for teaching a wide range of students safely.
Anatomy is the foundation of this training: it is the why behind all the poses, it is what weaves together the components of the subtle body, and it is the vessel through which we practice and experience yoga.
This training is open to students with at least six months of a consistent yoga practice. You do not have to plan to teach after training: this is a chance to learn more about yoga and dive deeper into the eight limbs of yoga. And if you do hope (or plan) to teach, this will set you up with a solid foundation to teach group or private sessions.
Students who complete this training and its program requirements will receive a Certificate of Completion. This certificate enables you to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with Yoga Alliance.
Summer Immersion led by Kim Struglinski, E-RYT 500 and Marysa LaRowe, E-RYT 200/RYT 500, TCTSY-F.
