The yoga path and continued learning
The yoga path is continuous. To grow in your practice, some focused time in the study under proper guidance is essential. The Advanced Yoga Teacher Training courses serve as part of this continuing education by covering specific subject matter in depth, furthering practice, and offering the opportunity for you to spend time in direct contact with your teacher(s).
We are always students, whether teaching or not. A teacher must engage in ongoing study, as well as cultivate growth in his or her daily practice. Personal retreats, away from your daily routines, are also helpful because the practice and teachings take time to really sink in and have their impact.
The deeper we grow ourselves, the better a service we can offer our students. But we’re also on a path inward in our own growth. For me, as a student, and then as a teacher, I have always put the time in study and growth first. Every year, I take time to study, be inspired and grow. Studying keeps alive that lifeline to the teachings, so they can penetrate me deeper. This way I stay fresh; I stay open.
Even if you do not teach, time to go further in a focused way is the key to growth. With this in mind, we offer a variety of on-going courses in an ideal setting. Immersing yourself in an environment charged with the energy and enthusiasm of others, and being exposed to the full-on guidance of the teachers, will reveal a clear path to your personal development and transformation.
I have watched this myself as I have embraced the path over the years. These courses and the special environment we try to cultivate are a deliberate attempt to duplicate that experience and to encourage others to keep growing and teaching better.
