Power Yoga Los Angeles and Hollywood area.

 





Number five, I recently began teaching others (even those who are not Yoga teachers) how to take their knowledge and make a living selling personal services not related to Yoga. The results have been amazing. My students are now thrilled with their results.

Let it suffice to say that I helped some of the most famous Hollywood celebrities learn Yoga and teach this amazing practice for fun of course (they already make more than enough money.)


Bottom line: If you've been searching for a way to turn your life around and make a living teaching this wonderful artform, then sit back for a moment and pay close attention, because this page is going to show you how you can can become successful as a teacher too.

Yoga Teacher Training

When: January 20th 2008,
1:15 pm to 4:00 pm.

Earth's Power Yoga is Now A Nationally recognized Yoga Alliance Registered School! This will add to your credentials as a nationally registered Yoga teacher If you complete the full 200 hour training we will be offering.

Please read this whole page for all of the benefits it has to offer. It will inspire you to do the course and if you follow the course it will change your life for the better.


Here's why you should study with me:

Number one, I am a full time Yoga teacher and teacher trainer for over twelve years. I own and run a successful Yoga center I began in 1993, fresh out of college, when the idea of this profession hadn't really caught on to the public.

Number two, I have been through thick and thin. I know what works in this business and what doesn't. I know how to make a good living and I know how to starve. I've done both and I know for a fact, prosperity is better.

Number three, I have actually made a good living professionally as a teacher. I don't just write about how to do it when I never have myself. No, I teach you how "I DID IT" and how you can, too.

Number four, I have figured out a system of taking my business experience, as well as my knowledge on Yoga - and have leveraged this into an information publishing business, where we currently serve customers all over the world.

Some Yoga schools and Fitness facilities may have their own requiremenets and criteria that you may have to fulfill before they hire you to teach. The following is not required study but is highly recommended:


Take a trip South India for minimum of 2 months in duration to see the roots of this ancient practice. Visit Jamana Giri at Nandi Bull Chamundi Hill Shiva Cave Temple.

Testimonial:

"Already equipped with the credentials to teach Yoga, I came to Steven Earth simply to get certified as a "Power Yoga" teacher. I thought I was an excellent Yoga teacher (I was) but nothing compared to what I am today. The wealth of information he offers in his six month internship is unparalelled to any weekend or even week long certification program. My capacity as a teacher has increased one hundred fold and I'm only half way through the course. I'm finding the more I learn, the more there is to know and the hungrier I get for the knowledge. The program offers not only techniques in proper breath and alignment of the postures but is also a comprehensive study of the history and philosophy of Yoga as well as a thorough education in human anatomy. I came to Steven Earth to become certified as a "Power Yoga" teacher, I will walk away a well equipped Astanga student, certified to teach Power Yoga. I highly recommend this course to any aspiring Yoga teacher and encourage those who may have gotten their certifications through a weekend course to consider this program. You will appreciate the rewards, your students will reap the benefits. "
