Program details
A 22-day intensive transformation program for anyone who is ready to deepen their spiritual practice on and off the mat, simultaneously certifying as a worldwide accredited yoga teacher. This course is suitable for everyone, from the beginner who wants to dive deep into this ancient art from the start to the advanced practitioner who is ready to get certified and start teaching their own yoga classes with an accredited, globally recognized body.
Upon completion of this course, not only will students have joined a global tribe of people who have put in the loving intention to evolve and heal their own mind, body, and spirit, they will leave the course with a unique skill set that they can take and share with the rest of the world, whether it is in their own intentional classroom, or in their home and work environments.
What to expect
You will, of course, be diving deep into the physical aspects of yoga; body movement and alignment, breathwork, and correct classroom adjustment to ensure that you are aware of your own postures and just as importantly, the postures of those around you.
Middle Path Movement is passionate about the importance of honoring and understanding the roots of yoga and providing students with deep studies into the history and philosophy of this ancient science.
They create open spaces for discussion about views and personal experiences as they feel this is the most beneficial and effective way to learn such an inclusive and vast topic.
You will learn to understand the mechanics of the body in a unique and dynamic classroom setting, analyzing the anatomy and physiology of the body and how it specifically connects to the movement of yoga with a highly qualified and experienced teacher. You will be exploring the depths of the world of meditation and mantra, learning skills and techniques for guided meditations and independent practices.
As yoga is an inclusive science, Middle Path Movement feel it is important to understand different perspectives and practices of spirituality. With this in mind, as you will be in Mexico, they feel it is important to understand and experience the traditions of the land.
Therefore, they will be offering the opportunity to experience a traditional Mexican ceremony as an extra curricula activity (small additional cost for small local business running the ceremony), to invite you to honor the spiritual practices of the space you will be sharing. You will have all this and much much more to expect from this three-week intensive program with Middle Path Movement.
