WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

For practice development, students are schooled in the Yoga-Mojo Art of Sequencing – a proven Yoga-Mojo method for informed development of safe, effective, and enjoyable yoga practices that skillfully deliver physical, mental, and spiritual lift – joy – through purposeful, accessible and choreographed movement.

Additional guest instructors contribute their knowledge, wisdom, and perspective for students within their respective specializations.

We’ll revisit the foundation of the practice that first called to you and go deeper into applying core concepts with advanced learning techniques~ We’ll focus on the science behind the practice as well as its ancient roots and how to apply both in modern times.  Honoring yoga’s traditions, we go deeper into and further beyond asana basics & delve into yoga philosophy, anatomy & physiology, pranayama, meditation, Art of Sequencing Methodology, mythology, mantra & mudras.

We’ll return again and again to the WHY and the HOW of the practice through lecture and practice, readings and mentoring.  This three module program provides a vast scope of content and provides time to ask questions and to practice in a way that’s best for you ~ ensuring you feel more confident in your knowledge and teaching and to effectively support students on their yogic path with wonderful results!

Recognizing every teacher is always a student first – and there’s always more to learn, YMYTT300/500 Program provides lecture and practicum, written lessons and resources along with time to integrate the teachings into your unique set of life experiences – enabling you the ability to apply the teachings in your own life, in your own practices, in your own teachings as an authentic expression of self.
