In-Depth Studies Program
and Comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training
JANUARY 7 - APRIL 17, 2011
Our comprehensive 200-hour Yoga teacher training and in-depth studies program includes Vinyasa, Anusara, Hatha, and Meditation, woven together for a thorough and practical understanding of Yoga and teaching. You will build confidence and deepen your practice as you gain the preparation needed to be a well-rounded and highly sought-after teacher. This highly regarded program offers you an in-depth understanding both of Yoga and of your self. (Please read comments from past participants).
If you want to take your Yoga and your self to the next level - if you want to teach Yoga and share the life-changing benefits that you have received - if you are a personal trainer who wants to integrate Yoga into your regime for optimal results for your clients - this is the training for you.
All LJYC graduates who have wanted teaching jobs have found them, many with us and many outside—local, national, and international—because of our highly respected reputation. Confident in the integrity of our program’s curriculum and teachers, we fully support our new teachers by offering them opportunities to teach and giving recommendations for employment at other studios.
Led by La Jolla Yoga Center’s founder Jeanie Carlstead, E-RYT 500, you will be taught by a group of highly dedicated, caring, and experienced teachers including Bonnie Jones, Amanda McCarroll, Carolina Vivas, Ann West, Nan Comstock, Amin Rokni, and Michael Fukumura. Included in your tuition at no additional cost are dynamic workshops with visiting Master teachers Bryan Kest, David Swenson, and Martin Kirk.
