Teacher Training feedback
Most of our teachers at YogaSource have completed our Foundational training.
Here's some feedback from our graduates:
""What amazes me most is the transformation that occurred with each individual student within a short period of time. It was a whirlwind of fascinating information, techniques and concentrated physical practice and intense focus. It amazes me how far we have come and what growth lies ahead... This training was one of the best things I've done and I will be forever grateful for it. It was fun, but challenging, and certainly placed me outside of my comfort zone a few times - I loved every minute of it, absolutely! My own practice has grown more than I could have imagined." S.

"I am definitely glad I got to be a part of the this teacher training. It has been an amazing learning experience... I did the training for my own growth and not necessarily because I felt ready to teach yoga. But I must say that I feel more eager to teach now than I ever would have imagined...I think the absolute best part of the teaching is the level of knowledge that Linda has. Her passion for yoga really comes through in the depth of her knowledge about all aspects of yoga... I'm honored to have been able to study under someone who has considered different forms, and philosophies and come up with her own point of view." K

"I thoroughly enjoyed the training. I would recommend this training to anyone interested in bringing their practice to the next level. I learned a lot, although I realize this is only the beginning of a life time of learning. I had a great time, loved getting to know our Director and the other trainees. The structure of the course made it possible for us to learn from each other. It helped motivate us as well. Our Director had a wealth of knowledge and passion for the practice which transcended throughout the entire course."

THE 2010 YOGASOURCE 200 HOUR FOUNDATIONAL TEACHER TRAINING - REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
Director: Linda Schlamadinger McGrath
Guest Teachers:
Kevin Collins, Angela Gavin, Todd Laberge and Erin Matteucci
Follow your dreams and enroll for the most well-rounded, interesting, and practical training for the instruction of Flow Yoga! This program is ideal for serious students and aspiring teachers alike. It covers EVERYTHING you need to know in order to teach a Flow Yoga class as we've perfected here at YogaSource, Silicon Valley's Premier Yoga Studio. Most of our award-winning teachers have started their careers with this exact training. Take the leap and pursue your passion!
Successful completion of both modules leads to our 200-Hour Certification, recognized by the Yoga Alliance, the nation's leading accreditation authority.
Level 1 - 100 Hour Module
Dates and location of next Level 1 - 100 Hour Module:
July 2-8th 2010 (7:30am - 5:30pm) in LOS GATOS!
Tuition: $1045 ($250 of which is a non-refundable deposit due with the Application) includes manual and unlimited attendance to classes at YogaSource.
The Level 1 Module is the first step of our training program. It is presented during an intense week of all-day training which will change your life and practice forever!
The very first thing teachers must learn is how to read bodies and assist the students in creating a safe practice, so our Level 1 focuses on practical anatomy. It is on this solid basis that we build the break-down of poses, breath work, and sequencing. Every day involves hours of practice-teaching under the Director's involved supervision designed to "get your feet wet" within the safe environment of the program and smoothly bridge your transition into real-life teaching. At the end of this week, you will have intimate familiarity with the basic poses of Flow Yoga, a good framework for reading bodies and assisting with injuries, as well as significant amount of experience teaching, including a full 90 minute class from beginning to end!
A 20-hour Individual Project is required to complete the 100 hours and can take the form of a research paper or a specialty workshop on a topic approved by the Director. You will be awarded a certificate of completion (more than what most yoga employers require today) and you may also apply these 100 hours towards our full 200 hour teacher training down the road.
Level 2 - 100 Hour Module
Dates and location of next 100 Hour Level 2 Module:
Saturdays and Sundays, 7/10 and 7/11, 7/17 and 7/18, 7/24 and 7/25, 7/31 and 8/1, 8/7 and 8/8 (7:30am - 5:30pm) in Los Gatos
Tuition: $1045 ($250 of which is a non-refundable deposit due with the Application) includes manual and unlimited attendance to classes at YogaSource.
The Level 2 Module is the second building block of our Foundational teacher training program.* It is designed to unlock your creative potential through the most thorough study of sequencing strategy provided in any yoga training in the US and a deep yet practical exposé of the philosophical movements that have shaped the practice.
Sequencing is the most challenging aspect of teaching Flow Yoga. Each class, students expect you to pull something new out of the hat and still make it safe, accessible and harmonious. We examine how sequencing strategy differs across the major schools, from Krishnamacharya’s direct legacy of Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga to the more modern offshoots of Anusara, Power, and Forrest Yoga. Along the way, you will build your own sequencing philosophy and learn many tools to help nurture your creativity with asanas, kriyas, pranayamas, vinyasas and larger sequences. Everybody will experience designing and teaching a real 90 minute class to a group under the Director's involved supervision, designed to "get your feet wet" within the safe environment of the program and smoothly bridge your transition into real-life teaching.
Parallel to this undertaking, you will also delve into the philosophy of Yoga spanning a history of over 5000 years. We begin with the ancient Vedas and Upanishads and track the refinement of their ideas in the Baghavad Gita and later in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. We then examine the non-dualist counter-current brought by Vedanta and Tantra. Following this, we go back chronologically to catch up with the birth of Buddhism and study the development of the different approaches of Theravada, Mahayana, Zen, Tibetan, and American. We also look at how modern Western psychology has been influenced by the Eastern model. Rather than dry, academic monologues, this vibrant material is presented through captivating stories and lively discussions, revealing how these philosophical principles apply to you as an individual, a teacher, and a modern yogi.
Combined with Level 1, this training leads to the full 200 hour Certification, eligible for registry with the Yoga Alliance, the nation’s leading accreditation authority.
*If your schedule prohibits you from completing the Level 1 training prior to enrolling in the Level 2 training, you must get prior authorization from the Director of the program.
