Home-Study Accredited Yoga Teacher Training

A link to the registration form is provided below.

These courses are designed to be taken as a self-directed learning experience, taken without the interaction of an instructor. The courses consist of a manual and a brief study guide which directs you through a series of learning experiences to help you understand and use the course content. In addition a variety of supplemental student resource materials are suggested - additional readings, videocassettes, and CD-ROMs. These are not included in the fee for the course.

The course manuals are designed to give you a meaningful opportunity to interact with the subject matter in a way that will facilitate your learning. Our courses have been developed by drawing on a long history of teaching and personal practice.

All of our courses are CanFitPro accredited, and 2 CEC's are available for each course.

It's a powerful, effective way to learn...in your own time, and in your own home.

Course Catalog:

Course # 1.
Healing Meditations......Free Your Mind with Meditation
Drawn from Hindu, Buddhist, and Yogic traditions, this workshop will coninue your study of various meditation philosphies and ways in which to incorporate them into your practice and your teachings. You will learn at least 10 different meditation techniques that are appropriate for various types of yoga classes. Rather than straining to achieve a meditative state, you will be encouraged to meditate without expectation, and learn how to share this with your participants. Full manual provided.

Course #2.
Hands on Adjustments - Align and Adjust!
Review precise alignment of fundamental asanas..and then learn how to intuitively align your students by appreciating body type, level of wellness and ability, and by proper placement of easy hands-on. Learn how to move energy with your intent and by gentle touch. Learning adjustments is a work-in-progress for the teacher. Full manual provided in work-book formation for the teacher to add to/improve upon/re-assess and revise techniques over time. Because adjusting with your hands is experiential learning (you have to DO it, not just read about it), the manual will give you an opportunity to work with each pose and different bodies - over time - and to learn what works, and what doesn't.

Course #3.
Pranayama - The Wind in Your Sails!
Pranayama, the practice of controlling the breath, lies at the heart of yoga. This advanced workshop will profile the pranayama practices of many yoga traditions including Kripalu, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Viniyoga and Kundalini. You'll learn the benefits of traditional yogic breathwork, and how to introduce them relevantly to today's yoga participants. Breathe like a yogi and open your mind and soul. Full manual provided.

Course #4.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga Workshop

Manual, Study Guide and Certificate And Posture Sequences and
Maureen’s Vinyasa Flow Level 2 CD included.

Maureen is known for her intelligent and creative approach to sequencing, and her mindful fusion of the strong and the soft.

Fluid postures and flowing transitions, powered by breath and meditation techniques.

Marrying mind to breath with Sun Salutations and visual imagery, the postures become fluid and alive.

Smooth transitions link poses, amazing descriptive verbal cueing, pranayama (breath work) techniques, and much more.
