200 Hour RYT Teacher Training
**200 hr students that complete the program will be considered 500 hour Yoga Educators
If you have a calling to take your practice deeper and share the joy of your yoga experiences with others, join Chris Loebsack, Corinne Farrell, Dana Sherman and Priya Idgunji, along with guest teachers**. It is our goal to help you deepen your understanding of anatomy, meditation, asana, help you develop leadership qualities, and find your authentic voice and practice within. Our mission is to offer a well-rounded yoga teacher training program that provides teachers the knowledge, guidance, and capacity to instruct with true wisdom and integrity.
The art of teaching yoga requires sensitivity, compassion, and practice. A teacher must encourage, inspire, and address the needs of each individual student while balancing the dynamic flow of the group. The Boundless Yoga Teacher Training program approaches the art of teaching yoga with a practical and modern sensibility. This program is designed to give the participants a comprehensive and intensive study of the broad base of yoga, culminating in a journey of self-study and personal transformation. Along the way, trainees will be encouraged to expand and challenge what they define “yoga” to be. Through exposure to multiple modalities, trainees are encouraged to create their own signature style that expresses their unique spirit.

Extending the Circle: Building Community through Practice
“We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking
out for our neighbors. That is how change takes place in living systems, not from above but from
within, from many local actions occurring simultaneously.” Grace Lee Boggs
A yoga community is more than just a gathering of yogis for the purpose of practicing asana. The
practice of yoga as a way of life can shift our relationship to ourselves and further move our
relationship to the world around us. Develop authentic relationships between people as we explore
avenues of trust building, clear communication, and group dynamics. This weekend workshop will
look at our roles in our individual partnerships and greater community. Working to strengthen our
larger community (the Sangha) we help others to develop their own advocacy.
Seva (selfless service) along with Karma (the yoga of action) are the pulse of the kula (the
community that shares the heart). We will work together through a variety of trust building exercises,
lectures, partner work, group games, journaling, coaching techniques and more to lift one another in
to a place of high union.
- Work with different classroom arrangements
- Learn how to teach trust exercises
- Embark on community outreach

Special Populations

Receptivity and compassion are the basis of all assists. We will cultivate a deeper awareness of breath, softness, safe body mechanics and Metta (loving kindness). We will more fully explore inversion safety practices, the role of a spotter, and higher level postures.
- Ethics of touch
- Awareness of common injuries
- Gain confidence in assisting
- Learn how to move with the energetics of the poses
