Since 2001, Atma Yoga has been developing a training program that is the only one of its kind in the world. What makes Atma Yoso unique is that it integrates yogic philosophy and yoga practices that work together in this modern age. Highly spiritual but far from new-age, Atma Yoga draws upon the ancient sciences of yoga to give students the necessary tools for becoming modern yogis. Our program prepares teachers to pass these tools along to their students with authenticity.
• Timeless Sanskrit Texts - the principles of Atma Yoga are describedin the timeless Sanskrit texts called the Vedas. The primary sources of information on Atma Yoga are Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Siva Samhita and other Puranic and Upanishadic texts.
• Teach or Deepen Your Practice – Whether you feel a call to teach others and be an instrument of transformation, or if you are simply looking for a deeper, more spiritual experience of your yoga practice, Atma Yoga teacher training is sure to take you to a new level of ability and self awareness.
• Intensive Immersion – our teacher training is a powerful and intensive immersion into yoga practice, yoga philosophy and the science of presentation skills.
• Ancient Practices Unique to Atma Yoga - The mechanics (physical aspects) of many of the yogic practices we teach are unique to Atma Yoga and come from an ancient repository. Many are being introduced
for the first time in the modern era.
• Learn to Teach a Variety of Students - training focuses on knowing the physical and subtle aspects of the asanas and how to both increase and decrease the intensity of the practice so it can be adjusted to various body types and personalities.
• Yoga as a tool for personal transformation - The lifestyle and philosophy classes focus on a simplified understanding of the forgotten aspects of yoga. The goal of the philosophy segment (a series of lectures in the evening) is to help yoga teachers understand the psychological potential of yoga as tool for personal transformation.
