Amy is the founder of The RHSOYTM, and carries this simple philosophy: “Absolutely everything is connected.

About RajaHathaTM Yoga Teacher Training & What to Expect

Throughout the intensive 6-Month Training, students will explore the ancient science of Yoga with in- depth focus on asana, pranayama, meditation, personal study and Self exploration, ancient yogic text study (with a focus on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras), and other yogic philosophy, study of the physical, mental, energetic, emotional and spiritual bodies, as well as anatomy/physiology, teaching methods, yogic ethics, and the healing, restorative and therapeutic aspects of Yoga. The Training is appropriate for students who wish to deepen their Yoga practice and knowledge of the science, want to become certified teachers, or already teach and desire to continue their studies.

Students who emerge with certification will have a very solid foundation on which to teach Yoga, in addition to gaining tremendous experiences that are often life-transforming.

Program Description:

The RHSOYTM meets and exceeds all standards set by the Yoga Alliance. In order to maintain our registry with the Alliance and provide the student with the hours required to be registered at the 200 Hour Level with Yoga Alliance (RYT-200) a breakdown of time is included here.

Subject Description & Educational Objective (See hours in chart)

Techniques/Training/Practice:

Over the course of 12 teaching units (the 13th is Assessment) the asana (postures) are divided into various categories including the breakdown of proper postural stance, principals of proper and safe forward bending, back bending, twisting, balancing, inverting, reclining, and resting postures. Time is spent in discourse, lecture and discussion, as well as experiential and practical teaching. The majority of this time is spent as contact hours, but a minimum of 10 hours is required of home study in the form of practice teaching. Mantra and Meditation are also part of technique study.

Teaching Methodology:

Each weekend unit builds on the previous unit to develop the student’s skills of effective communication, observation, and analysis, with a focus on language and its use in effective and safe teaching. Hours include lecture and practical application.

Anatomy & Physiology:

Attention is placed on the relationship between physical anatomy (muscular and structural) technical anatomy (major systems overview: digestive, endocrine, cardiovascular, pulmonary, circulatory, lymphatic,) and the subtle body anatomy (chakras, nadis, bandhas, mudras). Hours include lecture and discussion with applied homework for submission.

Philosophy, Ethics & Lifestyle:

An introduction to the classic texts including the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and modern texts on ancient Ayurveda and Pranayama are outlined and applied to creating a personal relationship with yoga theory for the teacher in everyday living. A strong focus on the development of self-study through journaling and daily meditation follows these lectures as home study.

Practicum:

The RajaHathaTM lineage has a comprehensive focus on the psychology of the ego and its relationship to habit patterns and the emotional expressions of the individual. Through lecture, discussion, tactical homework and group study the students begin to explore and understand the mind’s role in joyful and responsible living that will translate into applied teaching.

The Dog Days Of Summer

Happy August Yogis!

The Dog Days of summer have arrived and summer is quickly zooming into Fall. I hope that you are enjoying the sun (when we see it!) and avoiding the mosquitoes. Don’t forget, Kula is temperature-controlled and mosquito-free, so come in and take some time to slow down and breathe in deep! Our most current schedule is always online, so come to your favorite go-to class, or try something new, but whatever you choose, come and yoga with us.

One of my favorite quotes of all time (paraphrased from the great fashion designer Channel as well as the wildly talented musician Branford Marsalis) is:

” There’s no freedom in freedom. There’s freedom in structure.”

We need our routines, the parameters, the knowns in our lives in order to be safe to experience and explore the world around us. If you were craving the open days of summer vacation with your kids and family, and now are counting the moments until the “routine” of school returns, then you know exactly how I feel!

See you on the mat soon yogis, and let’s find the freedom in our flow.

Big Love –

Becky
