SUMMARY:Info Session for 200-Hour Teacher Training
DESCRIPTION:Choosing the right 200-hour Teacher Training is important\, it is a personal investment in your path to inner peace. We invite you to join us for a free Information Session and find out if Integral Yoga Teacher Training is right for you. \nIntegral Yoga Institute is one of the most respected schools of Yoga training in the world—we’ve been certifying teachers for over 40 years. Countless lives have been transformed through our time-tested and proven method of teacher training. Rooted in the tradition of classical Yoga\, we apply a modern approach for contemporary times. \nDuring the Info Session\, you’ll discover what makes Integral Yoga Teacher Training so special\, including our highly personalized approach to teaching that ensures you receive individual attention throughout your training. You’ll have the opportunity to meet our trainers and learn more about their extensive teaching experience. We’d also love to meet you and welcome you to bring any questions you may have about the program to this informal open session. \nWhat our graduates are saying…\n“I had a wonderful experience in teacher training. Jayadevi and Sri did a remarkable job of instructing a comprehensive and rigorous course while also creating a collaborative and supportive environment. I am so grateful to have been able to take this course with these instructors\, it was a life-changing and beautiful experience I will never forget!”  – Maeve \n“Jayadevi and Sri were absolutely excellent instructors. They provided the necessary tools and knowledge to deepen our personal practice and harness an ability to share our practice with others. The feedback I received was always authentic and helped refine my understanding…I will be forever grateful for their encouragement and dedication to me and my classmates.”  – Alonzo \n“This course was very helpful for me\, not only in my journey as a teacher but in my personal life – I felt as if the instructors were really paying attention to me and like my success was important. I feel blessed to have been able to go through this experience and I am very grateful.”  – Dawn \n“Every detail was superbly planned and woven together to create a comprehensive course. It pushed me to think more critically about what it means to be a teacher and highlighted what I want to embody and bring to my classes. My understanding of the asana is much more nuanced and I hold so many fun facts in my back pocket now!”  – Emmie \n“There is so much gratitude I have for the teaching and wisdom that I’ve received over the past several months\, that I can’t fit it all in! I always felt very included and seen\, accommodated and yet not babied as a student; held and yet challenged. Thank you and I hope to learn more from you some day!” – Jules
