LEAD WITH POWER & GRACE

300 Hour Advanced Leadership & Yoga Teacher Training

Want to be back in the "work", the rigor, of a training program, where you have discoveries in your personal practice, life and leading? 

Are you feeling stagnant in your teaching and want access to new ways of delivering alignment and themes to your students?

Or maybe the anatomy portion of your 200 hour training feels like a blur and you want to actually learn how your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones move in and out of poses to create safer creative sequences for you and your students.

This program WILL transform your PRACTICES, TEACHING, and LEADING.

Module Descriptions
All modules are intended for current yoga teachers who have completed a 200hour training program that included an anatomy module and for those who have a basic understanding of alignment. While each weekend will have a different emphasis, they will all be layered with asana, meditation, and inquiry practices.
Each module will include 48 CEC approved with Yoga Alliance. Weekend One, Two & Five can be taken as stand alone modules.

Weekend One: Presence | Seek the Truth | Be Willing to Come Apart
This first weekend of the 300 hour training is all about reintroducing yourself to your practices. Practices of asana, meditation, listening, leading, and teaching as a direct impact on your entire life. The entire weekend is an invitation to get out of your default ways of practicing and being, both on and off your mat, as a student/teacher/leader/human. 

Weekend Two: Vitality | Step Out of Your Comfort Zone | Commit to Growth
This weekend will be focused on embodied experiences of your energetic anatomy (Chakras, Koshas, and Bandhas) and the philosophy of yoga. In addition to asana, meditation and inquiry, you will explore your Dosha and the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda, and dive deeper into a practical application of the yoga sutras, including navigating the 5 Kleshas, and a true understanding of both karma and dharma. There will be an introduction to teaching Yin yoga this weekend, as well.

Weekend Three: Equanimity | Shift Your Vision | Drop What You Know
This weekend of the training will have a heavy emphasis on mechanics and delivery in teaching techniques, leading meditation, adapting your leading for pregnant bodies and leading others in the inquiry process. As with all of the weekends, this weekend will be very physical and you will have breakthroughs in the power of specificity and repetition in your practice, teaching, leading and life.  You will be guided through the process of creating a powerful way of inviting your students to bring their asana practice off their mat and into their lives.

Weekend Four: Restoration | Relax with What Is | Remove the Rocks
This weekend will review the basic understanding of the body and how it moves within a power yoga class.  From there, you will dive deep into individual poses and tease out how the muscles move the bones in and out of alignment and how best to give your students tools to maximize physical results and minimize risk. This weekend will level up your teaching game and give you the power you need to create physical transformation in your students.

Weekend Five: Centering | Don’t Rush the Process | Be True to Yourself
This will be an exciting weekend filled with discoveries as you learn how to powerfully and effectively LEAD a yoga workshop, PROMOTE a yoga workshop and EXECUTE a yoga workshop. We will discuss the business of yoga as an extension of, and as it relates to, the eight limbs of yoga. You will also have an opportunity to share your teaching of a full asana class with the group.

Weekend Six: Triumph | Be Still and Know | Understand that the Whole is the Goal
This weekend will be the culmination of the program with a weekend full of connection, celebration, and vision setting. You will witness yourself in a whole new way with a new level of mastery as a yogi, teacher and leader. You will share your service project with the group. And you will leave this weekend with the ability to confidently lead a full length yoga workshop from Welcome to Thank you for coming!

Brittany is a thoughtful and purposeful leader. I throughly enjoyed training with her and could not imagine any other experience. She communicated effectively with the group before, during and after the training and provided support throughout the process. She brought together a diverse group of guest facilitators that added so much perspective and value to the training. I appreciated her deep respect for the roots of yoga and honoring where yoga began. The training also included a diversity and inclusion workshop which was incredibly impactful and should be required content for all teacher training programs. It is clear that Brittany practices yoga on and off her mat and is personally committed to showing up, doing the work, and growing out of all experiences.
