Overview
Do you struggle with the fear that you might not measure up, or feel overwhelmed by the expansive knowledge to be gained? Maybe it’s the sound of your voice in a quiet room that unnerves you, as you contemplate whether you truly have a place at the front of the class. 11Exhale intimately understands these challenges—the financial worries that linger, the struggle to balance life's numerous responsibilities with your yoga ambitions, and the nagging doubts of imposter syndrome that can dim even the brightest achievements. At 11Exhale, they recognize you in your entirety: your passion, your fears, and the courage it takes to embark on this path.
You know you need this because
- You crave a deeper connection to your yoga practice, beyond the physical poses, delving into its spiritual and philosophical depths
- The thought of sharing the transformative power of yoga with others fills you with excitement, yet the path to becoming a teacher seems clouded with uncertainty
- You've felt the tug of imposter syndrome, questioning your ability to step confidently into the role of a yoga instructor
- Balancing your passion for yoga with life's other commitments has left you searching for a supportive community that understands your journey
Phases
Phase one: Learn it
In this initial phase, you'll unravel the science behind yoga, understanding each tradition's impact on the physical body. Dive deep into the respiratory and nervous systems, and grasp how yoga enhances life force energy in the human body. Through videos, lectures, and guided actions, you'll begin to perceive the potent science of yoga, envisioning yourself as a guiding beacon for your community.
Outcome: A robust intellectual grasp of yoga's scientific aspects.
Phase two: Live it
Guided by lead trainer, Julianne Arce, you'll assimilate the fine art of yoga, understanding the nuances of creating a sacred teaching space and guiding others on their yogic journey. This phase also covers the essence of meditation and introduces the business side of yoga, equipping you to articulate your message and effectively market your skills.
Outcome: Profound integration of the art and essence of the yogic lifestyle.
Phase three: Lead it
Having absorbed the science and art of yoga, you'll now proceed to the teaching methodology. Here, you'll refine your unique teaching voice, master hands-on adjustments, and perfect the art of Savasana - the treasured culmination of a yoga session. This phase ensures that every yoga session you conduct leaves a lasting imprint on your students.
Outcome: A holistic immersion into the science, art, and teaching methodology of yoga.
What you'll receive
- Master the arts of both Vinyasa and Yin yoga
- Advanced Business Training: Turn Passion to Profession
- 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification
Program
This 200-hour training that follows Yoga Alliance standards is 15 days. It is suggested to arrive a day early to get settled in and depart the day after graduation. Students can expect to have a deep understanding of yoga and a full range of yogic knowledge: posture (asana), breathing (pranayama), philosophy, and applications in daily living.
The class size is limited, so every student receives personalized attention and has direct guidance from their instructor. One factor that separates 11Exhale from other teacher training is its teacher development module.
Most training offered only teaches you how to instruct classes using their model, and that’s how most instructors fail. 11Exhale has formulated the practice of finding your teaching voice and style, these two are a major key in your yoga teaching.
You will be helped in finding a teaching style that you build upon and find your voice teaching flow. In addition, you will learn how to lead a safe and well-balanced class. Somatic Yoga is covered in this training.
Module 1
The language of yoga: Verbal communication is an essential skill for yoga instructors. Yoga has a language all of its own. An in-depth exploration of Sanskrit and the use of language in a yoga class will be covered.
Module 2
Chakra subtle body anatomy: Yoga Teacher Academy's advanced studies include a journey through the chakra system and how this interplays into your yoga practice and beyond.
Module 3
Physical body anatomy: Learn not only the mechanics of moving safely through asana (the physical part of your practice) but also how to guide others safely too. With the proper understanding of anatomy and movement students and teachers can enjoy lifelong practice.
Module 4
Pranayama: Breath is essential to life and yoga. Lead instructor Julianne Arce is passionate about teaching advanced pranayama. Topics include breathing technics and pranavayus. In this module, you will dive in to create a lasting change by removing what no longer serves you.
Module 5
The business of yoga: With the right mentors and knowledge, it's easier to follow your passion in the yoga industry. Topics include social media strategy, industry trends, and how to get started.
Module 6
Finding your voice: Understanding your practice is not enough to safely guide others through yoga. Public speaking is the number one fear of people. You will be guided to find your voice so that you can authentically lead others through yoga. You will not learn and memorize a script but will have a full understanding and functional knowledge of how to communicate using your voice.
Module 7
Yoga philosophy, ethics, and lifestyle: Move beyond the physical practice of yoga and dive deeper into yoga philosophy, ethics, and lifestyle. One component of this module is an in-depth review of the yoga sutras and how they apply to modern culture.
