200-Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training Program

 

I am so thrilled to partner with my teacher, Rolf Gates, to offer Tribal Yoga’s 200-Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training as an affiliate of his school.  Our program is registered with Yoga Alliance. I will be the primary, in person, teacher for our training with guidance and additional virtual teachings from Rolf.   


Rolf describes his training curriculum,
“This program is a 200-hour Vinyasa Teacher Training. As such it will be a mentally, physically and emotionally challenging process designed to enable serious students to become inspired teachers. You will practice asana, meditation, and pranyama to the point of proficiency and beyond. Your knowledge of Yoga theory will deepen to the point that it will become an aspect of the fabric of your life and of everything you do and say as a yoga teacher. You will learn to teach classes that combine a consistent therapeutic vision with the inspired spontaneity that is the hallmark of Vinyasa Yoga. You will develop a thorough understanding of the elements of the therapeutic principles of Yoga and be able to design a class or teach a pose in such a manner that your students will immediately embody those principles.

Vinyasa Yoga expresses that part of us that celebrates the space between the notes. A typical class will move from simple to complex poses, from standing poses and balancing poses, to back-bends, inversions, and hip openers. The teacher and students take this simple formula and make it their own day by day. No two classes are ever alike yet the intention behind the class is always the same. The genius of Vinyasa Yoga is not found in its approach to alignment or sequencing, but rather in the rhythm with which alignment and sequencing unfold. Anchored in the unseen aspects of an asana class, Vinyasa Yoga is uniquely accommodating to the evolution of a teacher; allowing her to bring all that she has learned and all that she is into her classroom. The result is a class that is at once consistent and inspired.

I want to bring special attention to the interplay between the physical and the metaphysical: A yoga class is a three dimensional story that unfolds to the rhythm of the breath. The art of teaching is the art of telling that story. Each of us, always, has a song to sing a story to tell. Of necessity much of what we will be working on will be technical in nature but all of what we do together will be dedicated to supporting you in singing your song.”

I am so honored to offer this amazing course and look forward to the amazing transformations that I know will occur for each student in our training. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me or schedule a one-on-one phone session with me.

Our program is certified with Yoga Alliance and graduates will qualify to register as RYTs with Yoga Alliance.

Om Shanti,
Amber Favaregh

Listen as Rolf describes the importance of a spiritual practice.

This training is organized around the idea that in order to be an effective teacher you must take the time and effort to dive deep into your own self study and develop a consistent spiritual practice.

 

Teacher Training Testimonials

Amber is an extremely effective educator. She was thorough in all her teachings and encouraged students to consider different perspectives. She is clearly very committed to teaching prospective yoga teachers, and was a readily available resource to all students throughout the training. The training itself is comprehensive, and progresses in a way that encourages students to learn and retain the information offered.

Kelsey Rothera

Prior to this program, I was too self-critical and didn’t think I would have the confidence to teach a class of yogis. This teacher training program provided me with more than enough knowledge and confidence that I began teaching immediately after graduation. The teacher training program taught me much more than how to teach a yoga class. It was a life training. It was a training that shifted my attitude & perspective of life – I became more empathetic, more positive, and more open to the people around me (just to name a few things).

Stephen Harrah

Such a humbling program to be a part of. I walked away from this training feeling empowered, knowing I have been given appropriate guidance to live a mindful life and to inspire others to do the same. Totally recommended to any one in any walk of life with an open mind and open heart trying to deepen their own practice.

What you’ll learn

How to Design and Teach a Vinyasa Yoga Class

You will gain a thorough understanding of the principles which when applied create a class for all ages and body types. This will include a specific sequence and more importantly the method for adapting that sequence to the infinity of opportunities implied by the word Yoga. This method enables what you teach to grow as you and your students do.

Being the Change

The first Yoga teacher in the U.S. Swami Vivekananda wrote: “You yourselves are the being that you seek.” During this training you will have direct experience of the truth of that statement. When you leave this training you will know how it is people reach their potential and you will be able to apply that knowledge to accomplish your own goals. You will be the change you want to see in your life.

Time on the Mat and on the Cushion

One of the joys of being a teacher is that your Yoga practice becomes part of your job description. During this training you will begin each day with asana, meditation, and pranayama instruction and practice. You will be taught the therapeutic principles that will allow you to practice safely with intensity. You will be able to sit comfortably for a 45 minute meditation session during which you will experience what it means to rest in stillness. You will be proficient in breathing techniques that awaken and build heat, preparing the mindbody for asana, and breathing techniques that are cooling and soothing preparing the mindbody for meditation. On your mat the implementation of therapeutic principles will be dramatic. You will experience a vibrant aliveness from which there is no going back.

The Teacher Training Curriculum will include:

  • Mastery of the basic techniques of Asana
  • Mastery of the basic techniques of Meditation
  • Mastery of the basic techniques Pranayama (Breathwork)
  • The therapeutic alignment principles of Yoga
  • Finding alignment within and without
  • The art of sequencing a class flow
