2010 Florida Yoga Teacher Training

Dragonfly Yoga offers an extensive, comprehensive, and enriching Yoga training program tailored to both aspiring teachers and serious students of all levels. Whether you seek to deepen your individual practice or learn the art of teaching with integrity and grace, this program and its teachers provide the sacred space, wisdom, and support necessary for you to blossom and grow along your own unique Yogic path.

Throughout the year, each student expands his or her Yogic knowledge through intensive personal study, hands-on experience, and practical application. The curriculum was developed to explore Yoga’s vast richness, including: applied anatomy and physiology as related to asana study and teaching methodology, philosophy, lifestyle, ethics, and principles of becoming and living as a Yoga teacher and lifelong student.

Dedicated participation in this teacher training program establishes a solid Yoga foundation which allows students to identify their innate teaching awareness and abilities. Our teachers guide and nourish each student to discover their inner wisdom, develop their own teaching style, and blossom into a teacher as unique as a fingerprint.

Just as a precious metal is refined through heat and filtering, this training program transforms student into teacher through inspection and clarification. Expect change and growth! Dragonfly Yoga and its dedicated teachers are excited to be part of your unique Yogic journey. Namasté!

Upon graduation, you will qualify for the Yoga Alliance YA200 registration.

Course Descriptions

Foundations of Practice When teaching rises from experience of the practice, it holds a great level of integrity. Deepening your personal asana, pranayama, and meditation practice will provide the richest source of inspiration. When you discover the mechanics of your unique needs within the asana practice, it will lead you to understand the needs of your future students. Additional training in functional anatomy, energetic body study, and understanding the ego and its purpose will provide the balancing factors for well-rounded learning.
  1. Intensive asana study
  2. Energetic body systems
  3. Your personal Anatomy and Physiology
  4. Pranayama groundwork
  5. Meditation

Philosophy of Yoga
Our program lineage stems from the teachings of Patanjali. Along with the asana and pranayama, we will study the Eight Limb path on a daily bases, most specifically the Yamas and Niyamas. These ‘codes for living’ help you refine your relationship with yourself, and your relationship with the world. Further study of the Yoga Sutras will expose you to an unending world of investigation into the deepest Truths of Yoga.

Foundations of Teaching
Teaching is the integration of intuition, knowledge, skill, and compassion. To inspire another is a great gift, and this inspiration must be founded on personal integrity and clear intention. Developing these attributes requires trust from both aspiring teacher and acting advisor. This journey includes the following.
  1. Attitude and action
  2. Asana Fundamentals
  3. Anatomy and Physiology
  4. Seeing the body
  5. Demonstrating
  6. Physical and vocal adjustments
  7. Designing a class
  8. Practice teaching
  9. The business of yoga
  10. Specialty yoga
  11. Karma yoga

I watch this practice transform people's lives. I remind them that this journey is singular, and all teachers are guides along the path, not the path itself. A good teacher will not offer an answer for every question, but will instead leave each student questioning, encouraging them to seek the answers within themselves.
