Expand your skillset as a yoga teacher, and deepen your knowledge of the history, lineage, and future of this transformative practice. Our 300hr Advanced Teacher Training is developed with your schedule in mind.  Join us in person, or LIVE on Zoom. We will meet  monthly, April-September, 2024

​

Zen Yoga Garage is a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance  (RYS 300, RYS 200, RPYS 85), and the current 200 hour TT program has been running since October 2013. When the world began to slow down in 2020, we set our sights on expanding the skillset of our teachers and our communities and got to work exploring where the Yoga community came from, and where we need to take it. In 2022 we began offering an 85 hour prenatal teacher training, and are now so proud and excited to present our 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training.

​

In this training, we want to reignite the spark of joy that brings yoga teachers to their mats time and time again. Our training will go in depth on the history and lineage of the yogic practice. Through discussion, journaling, and guided lectures, we will challenge trainees to look closely at their own teaching and messaging to find clarity in their alignment with the classical yogic texts.

​

We have created a comprehensive manual to use as a jumping off point for discussion, and a workbook to serve as a self study guide for trainees to keep track of their learning and questions. We will emphasize safe alignment in postures, with modifications and variations to make the practice accessible for ALL.  We include concrete tools on how to effectively cue postures, and create an environment that allows students to drop deeper into their practice, and discover the joy of Yoga.

​

Each Module will focus on a different historic text, and will align the text with modern day practices. We will create greater understanding of our yogic philosophy, and clear the lines of lineage. We will deep dive into the teachings of the Yoga Sutras, The Vedas, The Upanishads, and The Bhagavad Gita. We will investigate the energetic body through the Koshas, Chakras, and Vayus. And we will explore all 8 limbs of Yoga, in addition to what Yoga means in different lineages (dualist vs. non-dualist viewpoints).

In addition to studying the history, we will study best practices for presenting the yogic traditions in a modern, western world. We will discuss techniques to avoid cultural appropriation, ways to celebrate the diversity of our students, and how to  broaden your reach as a teacher. We will give concrete tools to strengthen your yoga business, and strategies to reduce and prevent burn out. 

​

For students learning more about Yoga, on the path to improving their teaching skills, we will offer our knowledge; simple breakdowns where it makes it easier to digest, and our in depth analysis and conversation where it's important. While we emphasize Vinyasa style, we will introduce several different styles of yoga and offer you awesome opportunities to try teaching in real world environments. We will help trainees find their unique voice rather than giving a script. We have a focus on learning the WHY behind everything you do. We offer exposure to different viewpoints, schools of thought, and styles helps to get you there.We are so proud of our 200 hour graduates already, and can’t wait to see where our advanced teacher trainees take their new found knowledge and inspiration.
