yoga teacher training

at the abhyasa yoga institute

Part of The Practice Room Center for Yoga and Healing, the Abhyasa Yoga Institute is dedicated to the cultivation of self-mastery through 200 and 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training certifications, Abhyasa Yoga Study Levels I, II & III certification programs and levels I, II & III Abhyasa Yoga Practice.

abhyasa: Having an attitude of persistent effort to attain and maintain a state of stable tranquility. To practice. According to the Yoga Sutras, abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (non-attachment) are the two core principles upon which the entire system of Yoga rests. Through the deliberate integration of these two essential understandings self-mastery and self-realization can be obtained. This is the principle foundation of the Abhyasa Yoga Institute. While consistent practice produces transformation, the embodiment of non-attachment helps to sustain the continuum of the life-long spiritual journey.

who takes yoga teacher training?
Professionals and non-professionals alike participate in Yoga Teacher Training. This training will compliment and deepen your relationship with any aspect of your life path. Whether you are a massage therapist or a student, a nurse or a landscaper, the depth of yoga will remove your inner blocks, stretch your awareness and help you to help others along the way.

start where you are
If you lack confidence in your ability to teach or even speak in front of others surprise yourself with the deep level of healing and opening that comes with unconditional support, non-judgment and the transformational purification and catharsis of the practice. Claim your own voice and personal empowerment.

personal growth and development
Not everyone who attends Yoga Teacher Training does so with the intention to teach. Some embrace the training as a method of going deeper into personal practice and self-study. Through the modality of yoga, whatever your motivation, healing happens and what is revealed is you.

abhyasa yoga study

spiritual self-study and mastery program
12 month level I certification

The Abhyasa Yoga Study program is specifically designed for those who are interested in delving deeper into self exploration and connection through the practice of yoga, but who are NOT interested in becoming a yoga instructor. Similar to the Yoga Teacher Training programs, the Abhyasa Yoga program provides an environment of unconditional support and mentorship while exploring deep layers of patterning and processing within the cathartic journey of purification.

The objective of the Abhyasa Yoga Study program is no less than complete personal transformation and connection through the realization of self-mastery. This is achieved through the establishment of intention, a serious commitment to personal yoga sadhana and other techniques of spiritual practice, in-depth exploration of yogic philosophy and scripture as well as identification and development of personal guidance and intuition.

Within this program we will also integrate earth-based practices such as the Sweatlodge, Vision Questing and Shamanic Journeying for healing, balance and connection.

The Ahyasa Yoga Study program is a 3-tiered program involving three consecutive certification levels (I, II and III). Not every level of certification needs to be achieved or committed to; each level can be contemplated upon the completion of the one prior.

For more information about this program and for an application please contact The Practice Room.
