200 hour Yoga teacher certification Studio Surya, Venice CA 3-Month Program February 09 - May 02, 2010 
 Finding Sukha’s Yoga School is a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program that will provide you all the tools and resources necessary to start your journey as a yoga instructor. Our unique program offers comprehensive education in the following disciplines: The Body We will dive deeply into anatomy in context of how the physical form moves through vinyasa asana practice. Rather than simple memorization, we will understand which muscles, bones, ligaments, nerves, etc, are involved in each traditional yogic asana, and, how to best take people through physical movement to strengthen and maintain the body. Classic yoga pranayama exercises are also a large component of this discipline. The Mind Using ancient and modern text, we will explore yogic principles of thought through group discussion and personal study. The focus will be on ancient Yoga sutras, modern philosophy, and writing exercises that will help you more deeply explore your beliefs and patterns of thought. The Energy We will discuss the chakras and how they apply to asana and yoga practice. We will also explore mudras, meditation, and Kirtan so that we may practice using them as gauges to help the observer in us monitor our overall life condition. The Guide As a yoga instructor, you are transitioning from someone who receives guidance to someone that will guide. A great deal of attention will be on how to teach yoga in a private and group class setting. We will explore the cause and effect of language, verbal and physical assisting, the flow of your class, personal teaching philosophy, responsibility, and most importantly, identifying and refining your style of teaching. Finding Sukha Yoga School is a Yoga Alliance registered School
