Whether in a group class or private setting, this training will teach you how to create and hold a sacred space for cultivation and expansion. We meet you in the space between where you are and where you want to be, in a place of self-discovery, on a quest for self-love.
Similar to the style of yoga we practice, each training module weaves together with the next to create a complete transformational journey. We are breathing new life into a beautiful, ancient practice through movement, music, meditation, breathwork, and inspiration. The Space Between lineage is a modern twist of Vinyasa Yoga. The Vinyasa practice is often described as a moving meditation, where practitioners cultivate a mindful awareness of their body, breath, and mind. By placing each movement and posture in a special way, curated sequences evolve into dynamic and transformative experiences.
Vinyasa gives potent space to be free, to allow the body to move in an intuitive way inviting creativity to flow. The power of the breath creates the pace of the movements. The body transitions in new directions and lingers in the shapes meant to expand your being. Intentional breathwork and soulful guidance help you go beyond the mind. Meditative moments to simmer in the vibrations help peel back the layers to access the freshest part of you. The relationship between asana, pranayama, and meditation is one of interdependence and synergy. Each element supports and enhances the others, creating a practice that integrates physical, energetic, and mental well-being so you come alive within.
We have created a multi-dimensional and experiential 200 hour teacher training based on three core learning principles:
Tapping into the mind and learning through lecture, reading, discussion and conversation
Experience the teachings through experiential programming that brings the Yoga Alliance Core Curriculum to life.
Embody the teachings so that they may be infused into the body, mind and soul, translated through the practical application of practice teaching.
Our 14-week, modular format offers both immersive learning and space for integration. This training will offer skills and practices that extend beyond the yoga practice. You will learn rituals that will help you develop as a teacher and a human and you will do all of this alongside a connected and diverse sangha (community) of people who you will learn and grow with over the 14-week program.
