Certifications
The course/hours count as Continuing Education hours for Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®) only.
This week will be the in-person part of a 6-month hybrid training that started in July. Breath Body Earth decided to open it up to anyone with or without a 200hour Yoga Teacher Certification who is interested in learning more about Chakras and Bandhas, Ayurveda, Sanskrit and Mantra, Anatomy and Assisting, and the Nervous system.
Daily activities will start every morning with a 2-and-a-half-hour practice including meditation, pranayama (breath practice), and postures (Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin), you will spend the morning learning about one of the aforementioned topics, and the afternoon practice teaching, sharing and singing as done in the yoga teacher training.
This is a great opportunity for those who are thinking about YTT but don't have 3 weeks or more to dedicate to it and for existing teachers who want to immerse themselves in an environment of learning for renewed inspiration.

After living most of her life as Melissa thought she should, studying, and working in the corporate world, spending money on things that brought her temporary fulfillment, she found yoga, or it found her; either way, she fell in love with the practice in such a way that she felt called to share it with others. She has been guiding classes, workshops, ceremonies, and retreats ever since and continues to be amazed by the healing and transforming powers of breath, movement, stillness, intention, and connection and is grateful every day for the opportunity to share these practices with others.

Show
Rachael first encountered yoga when she was 15 years old and since then she has been in a state of enamored curiosity with the practice in all its forms. Her training in ballet and contemporary dance has given her a deep understanding of the human body, including the areas of anatomy, kinesiology, and functional movement, which she feels complements her yoga practice perfectly. She guides her classes from the perspectives of safety, alignment, and mobility, with a strong focus on expression and the healing modalities of movement.
Location
