This program is open to all yogis and yoginis who wish to explore the practice of Yoga on a deeper level. Participants enjoy an in-depth study of the philosophy and science of Yoga, including an exploration of the structure & alignment of Asana, Pranayama breathwork & subtle energy, meditation techniques, lifestyle awareness, and learning how to manage our lives with Yoga wisdom.
The Participant: The ancient teachings of Yoga were once handed down from teacher to student, only when the student was ready. We believe that lineage is still important, and for that reason we require participants to have a minimum of 6 months of dedicated Yoga practice before embarking on this month-long training. Since the focus is on deepening your practice, a student must be able to springboard from an existing practice.
The Result: Upon completion of the Living Your Yoga program, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Holy Cow Yoga Center/500 Hour Training School. For those participating to enrich their practice and knowledge, you'll find that this experience will give you the opportunity to reach new heights within your Yoga practice.
The Faculty: The primary teacher is Trace Sahaja Bonner, 500 RYT, Founder and Director of Holy Cow Yoga Center.
