Perhaps you have 200 hours of YA training and are looking to advance into your 500 hour? Maybe you just want to deepen your personal practice! Then this training is for you!
The Radiant Transitions School of Yoga at Journeys in Yoga is now offering BOTH the Yoga Alliance 200 AND 500 hour yoga teacher training programs here in Tallahassee. The 200 hour consists of 9- 20 hour weekends and the 500 hour consists of 14- 20 hour weekends. This page offers you the details.
Location: Journeys In Yoga studio at 111 South Magnolia Drive Suite 34 in Tallahassee
The trainers: This training will be brought to you by the Radiant Transitions (radianttransitions.com) School of Yoga based in Tampa Florida, a Yoga Alliance Registered school. Sara Devi and Vaz Rogbeck between them have decades of experience in all aspects of yoga. They offer all of their knowledge while fostering discussion and providing a supportive medium in which to learn. You will learn about postures, history, philosophy, breath work and meditation, as well as other helpful information to assist you on your teaching journey.
At the completion of this training you will be a certified yoga teacher and you will be qualified to register with the Yoga Alliance (yogaalliance.org), the only international registry of yoga teachers and yoga teacher training schools. The Yoga Alliance is the leader in developing curriculums and standards to train and professionally educate yoga teachers worldwide.
Format: The basic training curriculum is set by the Yoga Alliance and Radiant Transitions has followed their guidelines to ensure that you will meet the qualifications to register with that organization upon completion of the program. The training will be over 9 (200 hour) or 14 (500 hour) weekends, occurring once a month (usually the second weekend of the month), each lasting Friday through Sunday for a total of 20 hours for the weekend.
Each workshop contains a specific number of hours in technique, methodology, anatomy, philosophy and practicum as defined by Yoga Alliance. The 500 hour includes a specific focus on the therapeutic applications of yoga. Full attendance at each workshop is required. If you are unable to attend a workshop in Tallahassee, you may attend workshops offered in Tampa or Leesburg. We will also schedule make up sessions in Tallahassee for those in need of training hours.
It is not required that you start at the beginning of our training. You may begin at any time during the year, understanding that you are required to have 180 contact hours for the 200 hour and 280 contact hours for the 500 hour from the same school in order to become certified and then register with the Yoga Alliance. This may mean that your training will roll into the next year. We encourage students to complete the training within 18 months of beginning.
Times:
Friday from 6:30 pm to 10 pm (3.5 hours)
Saturday from 9 am to 7:30 pm (10.5 hours)
Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm (7 hours, the extra hour is for lunch Sat and Sun)
Style of Yoga: A blend of breath work, meditation and postures based in flow and Ashtanga styles of yoga. However, this training will give you the skills to create your own style or to draw on other styles of yoga that speak to you. You will be well prepared to teach group asana (posture) classes.
