Teacher Training Program at Yoga Bent
Program Description
The mission of Eight Limbs Teacher Training Consortium is to act as a forum for competent education of yoga professionals in the Midwest.
We assist beginning level yoga professionals in sharing the vision of yoga to the larger society by creating innovative training programs that foster self-transformation, consciousness affirming lifestyles, and a deeply empowered experiential approach to living the practice of yoga.
The ELYT teacher training is designed to work exclusively with all participants' base knowledge of yoga, health, and philosophy, regardless of prior experience. It emphasizes the many different aspects of teaching classical Hatha yoga as well as all the other branches of the eight limbs of yoga as outlined by the great sage Patanjali.
The training modules are multifaceted and consist of 250 hours of your participation. Core techniques that are covered in the program include asana, pranayama, relaxation, and meditation. Anatomy and physiology in relation to yoga are profoundly incorporated. In short, we have created a platform for deep exploration and investigation of the relationship between body and mind, nature and spirit. The Course Content (adobe acrobat printable version) will give you an idea of the topics covered. The content is subject to change.
The teaching staff is very dynamic. All are specialized and highly certified yoga instructors. These charismatic professionals, that hail from a variety of yoga related organizations and traditions, have joined forces with ELYT to present various yoga styles and the anatomy/physiology materials.
ELYT is a progressive educational institution. All classes are highly interactive and students receive a great deal of hands on experience teaching all facets of a yoga class. The center is equipped with digital video recording and projection capabilities.
The ELYT program is accredited with Yoga Alliance, currently the only national certifying board. With successful completion of our program you will be certified and recognized as a RYT - Registered Yoga Teacher, with the approval to teach classical Hatha yoga.
