Yoga Adjustment

Here's why you should study with me:

Number one, I am a full time Yoga teacher and teacher trainer for over fifteen 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. I teach you how "I DID IT" and how you can, too.

You can pay pal us online from the store page, just write in the note section "teacher training" and e-mail us the form.

TOPICS

Asana, ashtanga, anatomy, philosophy, history, chakras and sutras. This is a beginners teacher training as taught by Steven Earth. To understand yoga in depth requires a great desire to help others and the desire to work on oneself. If you feel that you are in this position in life I am sure that you will complete this course of training and help others along their way to personal growth.

Upon completion, you will receive a certificate from Earth's Power Yoga. This is a 75 hour course.

The "Yoga Teacher Training and Alignment workshops" stand alone as Anatomy and Alignment workshops these are excellent for those who want to deepen their personal practice. You will have one year from the start of the first class to complete the training including essays.
