RYT-200 hr SATYA yoga teacher training


about satya ytt

Developed in 2017, The Yoga Loft’s 200 hour Teacher Training has been created for positive growth and transformation in mind + body. Upon completion, you will have newly gained knowledge and understanding of the history, philosophy, anatomy, language, subtle energy bodies (ie. chakras), as well as the ethical and business aspects of yoga. Through this experience you will be inspired  to reconnect to your  own innate creativity, passion and self expression from a place of authenticity.  This program is delivered in 10 weekend modules, with time in between modules to provide ample time to advance your knowledge and personal practice at a healthy, balanced and steady pace.  Each weekend of training, will allow you to break away from your regular routine, set aside your ego and  old weight-bearing habits, that no longer serve you. Growth will inevitably occur benefiting the relationship you have with yourself, and others.

             

Tuition includes: The Yoga Loft’s SATYA 200-Hour training manuals +20 classes.

Our interest to grow is not learned, it’s inherent, it’s part of the soul. When we quiet the mind, we start to uncover that part of us that inherently wants to expand; that is curious, inspired and motivated. It can step outside any heartache or confusion we’ve experienced in the past. And then spontaneously, we start to come alive.

– Rod Stryker
