Lava Yoga Teacher Training

Get professionally certified to lead classes through Asana, Meditation, and Pranayama practices.

Professionally Trained & Certified

This program is a 200 hour Yoga Alliance approved curriculum. It is designed in a 16 week format, delivered face-to-face every other weekend.  (*Please note that the class size is limited to accommodate social distancing. We also have a contingency plan for live, online class sessions approved by Yoga Alliance in the event of stay at home orders.) 
 
This curriculum allows for Trainees to get in front of the class, to start vocalizing and hearing their voice as a teacher, and to build a toolbox of meditations and yoga sequences throughout the training.
 
Upon completion of the program, Trainees will be competent to lead a class through Asana, Meditation, and Pranayama practice. In addition, they will gain an understanding of the 8 Limbs of Yoga, recognize what it means to be a Yoga Teacher, and have the needed knowledge to develop an effective and safe class.  Of course, training participants will also deepen and strengthen their personal practice!

Key topics covered in the training include:

  • Yoga History
  • Yoga Philosophy
  • Meditation
  • Pranayama
  • Yoga Poses & Asanas
  • Teaching the Poses
  • Class Creation and Sequencing

  • Daily Meditation and/or Journaling

  • Cultivation of a personal yoga practice (students receive unlimited yoga during the training period.)

Trainees must attend two of the four workshops offered and are encouraged to attend all four. These workshops are included in the training tuition, without additional cost to the student.)
  • Class Assists – students will observe and assist faculty in leading yoga classes during sessions offered during scheduled training days.
  • Teaching Classes – students will have the opportunity to teach class to their peers and also to other guests.
  • Conduct Private Sessions – students will prepare a one-on-one yoga session with a senior yoga teacher.   This serves as a mock private yoga session giving trainees the experience of the differences between teaching in a group class environment and a private session.
