ParaYoga Teacher Training & In-Depth Study

RYT 200 Program with Karina Ayn Mirsky
Your Community Yoga Center (YCYC)
Hamden, Connecticut

YCYC's Teacher Training program is approved by the Yoga Alliance. This program is hosted by Senior Para Yoga® Teacher, Karina Ayn Mirsky. This training is open to all who are seeking a deeper understanding of yoga: dedicated practitioners, experienced yoga teachers, and those aspiring to teach.

Para Yoga is rooted in the ancient spiritual tradition of yogic science. It is developed to support and positively impact every aspect of modern life.  Classical Yoga, Ayurveda and Tantra all inform this holistic and personalized approach to yoga practice. (For more information about Para Yoga, please visit www.parayoga.com)

One goal of this program is to train yoga students to become exceptional yoga teachers with an ability to lead people (of all kinds) into practicing an authentic tradition of yoga. Participants will learn how to safely and systematically practice and teach a wide range of yoga postures, breathing, relaxation and meditation techniques from Para Yoga's comprehensive catalog. They will learn how to teach a variety of levels of yoga practitioners while integrating Para Yoga philosophies and practices into teaching basic yoga classes. Since beginning students, stiff bodies, large and/or limited bodies need the most coaching, modifications and adaptations for these kinds of students will be shared.

This training is also a personal transformation experience; an opportunity for dedicated yoga practitioners to delve deeply into their own practice, immerse themselves in self inquiry, intensive study and sadhana. We will learn and grow together out of our own personal experiences, interests, histories, awakenings and limitations. You are invited to come as you are, into a sacred space to learn, heal, grow and become... Become more that just a "yoga instructor" going through the motions - become a guide, a light to yourself and to others - become a True Teacher, become a yoga teacher.
