North Shore Yoga’s Advanced 500 hour teacher training program provides an opportunity to deepen one’s experience and understanding of Yoga. It is open to anyone that has participated in any 200 hour program and will build upon that foundation. As teachers, continued study allows us to expand our repertoire and more fully develop our voices and yogic lifestyles. As practitioners, we seek a sangha, or community, with whom we can share our journey. Not only is this immersion, meant to further refine your skills as a teacher but deepen your own personal practice. NSY’s training will provide the platform or “sangha” needed to aide you in developing your own “soul-centered” approach to teaching. Teaching authentically, from your own truth, will allow you to share the path of yoga in such a way that it will have a profound effect on others.

Specific areas that will be covered include:

• Full training in Trancendental Meditation™
• Pranayama in the Kaivalydhama Tradition
• Developing a personal “home” practice
• Art of sequencing Vinyasa Flow with intention and intelligence
• Art of Adjusting, Observation, and Communication
• Ashtanga Yoga in the tradition of Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois
• Yoga Anatomy, Observation and Adjustment
• Yin Yoga
• Restorative Yoga
• Yoga Therapeutics
• Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
• Yoga Philosophy that will include reading the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, The Upanishad’s, and the Bhagavad Gita
• Lecture on the Upanishads and the Law of Karma with Wendy Doniger
