Teacher Training at YogaLoft YogaLoft offers a state-approved teacher training program for Yoga teachers. Yoga Teacher Training is a 200 hour program registered with Yoga Alliance. Yoga Teacher Training Program In addition to learning the basics techniques and philosophies of hatha yoga, the YogaLoft Teacher Training program will explore why is it important for a yoga teacher to be a skillful observer and a witness to their own and to their student’s movement and healing process. You will discover why it is vital to observe your students for who they are in each moment instead of through the filters of your own past experiences. You will extensively practice using the tools that help you witness including conscious breathing, meditation, oscillation of attention, and description to assist you in staying focused and present first with yourself, then with your students, and then with everything going on in your classroom. With these tools, you will begin to develop confidence expressing yourself in front of others. As you develop confidence, you can access a bottomless well of creative energy and thought that exists in everyone. Although the principle services of the YogaLoft Teacher Training program are to provide initial training to become a yoga instructor, it is also available as continuing education to certified and registered yoga instructors. You can use this training as a foundation for any style of yoga you wish to teach. Additionally, yoga enthusiasts who want to deepen their own personal yoga and meditation practice are strongly encouraged to use this program for healing and enrichment.
