200 Hour Teacher Training
Do you long to live a fulfilled life that reflects your innermost yearnings? Are you ready to deepen your yoga practice and invite self-care, clarity and insight into your being. Begin your journey to a fully integrated life. Step on the path to your whole luminous self and learn how to hold the light for others. With decades of teaching thousands of students, Leigh Evans has crafted a mindful, earth-focused Yoga Alliance Certified 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training that fuses both the body and the earths’ cycles, encompassing everything from anatomically based vinyasa yoga to ayurvedic wellness and women’s practices to support the whole self in a lifelong journey of self awareness.
While providing you with the techniques to become a skillful and compassionate yoga teacher, the training also offers the means to live a life of balance. The 200 Hour curriculum combines alignment-based vinyasa practice and ayurvedic wellness, with a healthy dose of spirituality and a special focus on women’s practices. In addition to cultivating strength and stability – both mental and physical – you’ll work towards building a path of lifelong learning and personal growth.
Are you looking for a positive life change? Is it time to make a commitment to yourself? Immerse yourself in the knowledge and the tools to care deeply for yourself with intensive training retreats offered in two 100 Hour Immersions, Level I – EVOLVE, Level II – EMPOWER. Both ten day trainings offer a thorough investigation of the alignment and energetic principles of the asanas and are infused with ayurvedic self-care practices and ancient yogic wisdom.
Level I – EVOLVE invites students who are simply wanting to deepen their yoga practice and enhance their lives as well as those who are on the path to becoming certified yoga teachers. Level II – EMPOWER offers many techniques to help you move through blockages that limit you, so you can manifest your true essence and take the seat of the teacher with confidence and grace. Once you have successfully completed both Level I and Level II, you will receive your Yoga Sukhavati 200 Hour Teacher Training certification and be eligible to register as a yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance (200-RYT).
