Deepen your Practice, evolve yoga, and learn the fundamentals of teaching with intuition and confidence.

Traditionally yoga studies were conducted with one teacher and one student in private. This provided a customized course for the specific student/teacher trainee, and her situation.    This Apprenticeship program hopes to revive this time tested and thorough method for imparting yoga studies.

In this one on one apprenticeship course with me, students with at least 5 years of practicing yoga will learn to teach yoga in their home communities.  Possible concentrations for prospective teachers are Yoga for Labor, Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, Mommy and Me, Family yoga and elementary classroom settings, Yogateens, Gentle Yoga for over 50′s and students who require adaptive postures, Golden Yogis for the elderly, and Basic Beginning Yoga for all ages and abilities.  These are only some of the possibilities and topics to focus your learning.  Because the scope of the program is adapted to your needs and the demographic that you will be teaching, the nexus of learning will weave together a customized, and practical curriculum.  Meetings take place through email, skype, and telephone sessions.  Some prospective teachers may wish to travel to my home and study more intensively, learning by teaching in my local community through an apprenticeship with observing, assisting and practice teaching.  For more information and to receive a course curriculum email me at avyoga@yahoo.com. Please include details about your yoga experience and desires for teaching yoga.  Here is what a recent graduate has said about the program:

“The apprenticeship teacher training program has been interesting and challenging. Melissa has provided me with many tools to learn the basics of teaching gentle yoga…I particularly appreciated her style of a self-directed course of study that worked around my time availability.”  - Kathy MacDonald

You are unique, and so will your style of teaching be…Namasté
