Polarity Yoga Teacher Training

(contact Frances about bringing this training to your studio)
Teacher Training Level I
Add something new to your classes!

TWO SUNDAYS    1 - 7PM

Dr Randolph Stone studied yoga asana in depth and from his profound knowledge of the human energy system he gleaned what was essential in yoga asanas and developed a series of asanas/movements that are therapeutic for one's health and well being.  The main objective of Polarity Yoga is to release the subtle energy tension fields and stress blocks in our body, allowing our energy to flow freely. Each Polarity exercise brings to our attention various energy blockages in our system, areas causing us tension and pain, and the movements, breath and sound releases them.

Removing stagnation and accumulated gases, resulting in harmony within ourselves and our environment.

Postural positions have their relation to the elements,the tattwas - through the connective tissue or tension fields in the body the positions end up moving the deeper energy currents of the body. This is accomplished by the way that the postures put stress on the tension field in the connective tissue ligaments of the joints of the body, which are the cross-over points of energy flow in the structure.

“I could feel the weight of grief in my being but nothing lifted. Then I had a session of Polarity Yoga with Frances and it was amazing. The weight lifted and in its place was joy!
More importantly it is lasting.” -JK

“My range of motion was getting more restricted and my pelvic area weaker by the day. Polarity Yoga targeted the areas I needed to work on and now I am seeing the changes happening - for the better!” - UL

PRANA SHAKTI
200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

The Prana Shakti Yoga Teacher Training at the 200 hr level is unique in that you learn how to impart yoga as a tool for healing. Yoga is a system for health, healing, well-being and self-realization. What starts as an exercise program becomes a path that you enjoy walking down for the rest of your life, as it enables you to be you to the fullest.

My intention throughout the training is to challenge that teacher within you to come alive. The training will enhance your personal yoga practice and take you to a place you have not been before. Yoga at its best does just that. I hope you will join me in this training for yourself and for the benefit of others.

 

STUDENT EXPECTATION

Students will leave the 200 hour Yoga Teacher training program with the following skills and experiences:

    •    A well-rounded foundation in the    principles of asana, pranayama, meditation, chanting, and yoga philosophy. With the unique addition of a study of the elements, doshas, yogic diet and cleansing.

    •    The skill to structure a yoga class intelligently, taking into account the students' needs
    •    An understanding of the principles that unite the traditions of yoga
    •    A basis for life-long study and practice of yoga
    •    An understanding of the ways to work as a yoga teacher in different settings
    •    A 200-hour Yoga Alliance registered certification

This Yoga Teacher Training developed from my passion for teaching and the dedication of students that were ready to become teachers in their own right. My intention throughout the training is to challenge that teacher within you to come alive. The training will enhance your personal yoga practice and take you to a place you have not been before. Yoga at its best does just that. I hope you will join me in this training for yourself and for the benefit of others. You may not even know if you want to teach yoga to others or how that will even manifest. Only once you have filled your cup to the brim, and only then, will you be able to pass it to others.

In my opinion, to know Frances is to experience first hand the quality of "shraddha", a Sanskrit word that denotes devotion and dedication, to yoga and to her students.  Frances teaches Yoga not just Yoga Asana. She is an alchemist; her breadth of knowledge on body, mind and spirit proved to be an inspiring combination transforming us students into confident teachers in the space of an intense 3 month program.  Thank you Frances!

The Prana Shakti Yoga Teacher Training encompasses not only the basic elemental aspects of the yogic practice, but the application of the system to heal and vitalize the body and mind. What starts as an exercise program transforms into an enjoyable path that you can walk down for the rest of your life. It is strongly suggested that you have studied yoga with a teacher for at least 2 years before considering the Teacher Training, or have my permission.
