Welcome to The North Carolina School of Yoga's teacher training and certification programs. Our trainings are designed for aspiring teachers, current teachers seeking continuing education and for those simply looking to deepen their own Yoga practice. Our 240 hour, 500 hour, Prenatal Training and Childrens Training are all approved and registered with the International Yoga Alliance.
Our teacher trainings are based on the the Classical system of Yoga, encompassing the eight limbs and nine forms of Yoga. Our intention is to share the joy of the spirit of Yoga with you while providing a systematic and comprehensive course in traditional Yoga, so that students may begin to teach safe and effective Yoga classes in their communities. You do not, however, need to be a teacher, nor desire to become one to attend this course. The study of Yoga is the study of Self and your life will be changed forever as the miraculous and ancient teachings of Yoga come to life with the deepening of your practice.
This is a deeply comprehensive training program and we will study all the traditional components of Yoga including Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathwork), Meditation, Purification, Adjustments, Sequencing, Yogic Texts, Yogic Nutrition, Mantra, Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology, Props, Conditions & Injuries, Energetic Anatomy, Philosophy & Ethics, and above all, Yama and Niyama, without which, there will be no success in Yoga. Your training will be conducted in a non-dogmatic, non-sectarian, deeply loving atmosphere. Creating a supportive, nurturing group environment, we will move from integrating the wisdom and integrity of this ancient tradition with the needs of modern society. Your certification will merely be another step on your own path to Self discovery.
In this soul stirring Teacher Training course, the true purpose of Yoga is revealed to all participants. The purification of character and conduct, the cleansing of one’s physical and mental nature, wherein the highest state of reality and truth may shine undiminished in the hearts and minds of all participants. The Universal principles of Spiritual disciplines can elevate the seeker into God communion for all eternity. This is the Goal of Yoga. Reduce your needs and wants. Lead a happy and contented life. Never hurt the feelings of others. Be kind to all. Think of God as soon as you get up in the morning and all day long.
Om Shanti Om
