Hatha Yoga Teacher Training

Hatha
Yoga teacher training and mentoring in Austin Texas, is provided
by Charles MacInerney in collaboration with his partners, Donna
Belk and Ellen Smith. Our training, called the Living
Yoga Program, is approved by the Yoga Alliance. Graduates receive
the LYP certification and are also registered with Yoga Alliance
at the 200 hour level.
The Living Yoga Program is designed to accomodate
the needs of students who do not live in Austin. Our program regularly
draws students from Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Only one 10-day
trip to Austin is required of students and provides half of the
200 hours required for registration. The remaining 100 hours can
be satisfied in the student's own communities, overseen by LYP advisors.
The ten day intensives are held at the Barsana Dham Ashram in the
beautiful hill country just Southwest of Austin, Texas. This magical
setting plays a large part in the success of our program. Participants
are immersed in the yogic lifestyle, amidst the beauty and seclusion
of one of the nicest retreat centers in America. |
| A
large part of the training involves detailed instruction in core
asanas. Students learn not only how to practice these poses, but
also how to teach them, along with contra-indications, adjustments,
benefits, and much more.
In addition to learning asanas, students are also
instructed in the art of teaching, designing class plans, yogic
philosophy, Sanskrit, meditation, and the business of yoga.
What really distinguishes our program is that from
the very beginning, students are given the opportunity to teach
yoga classes and get feedback on all aspects of their teaching.
Our students find this is an invaluable part of their training. |
Yoga
Anatomy and Physiology training are included in our program. Mark
Uridel teaches a hands on workshop for LYP students. Mark is a physical
therapist, teaches anatomy at massage schools, and is also a yoga
teacher. For those who cannot attend in person, an excellent online
yoga anatomy program is provided.

The
Living Yoga Program recognizes the importance of community and ongoing
support for our students and just as importantly, for our graduates.
The intensives are designed to help students forge lasting relationships
with their classmates. Students stay in touch with each other via
list serves and communal web-sites, and are encouraged to rely upon
their class mates for ideas, support, encouragement, and friendship,
long after graduation from the program. We also sponsor a yearly
reunion for our graduates at Barsana Dham to further strengthen
these relationships. For more information about the Living Yoga
Teacher Training Program, please visit our site at: www.livingyogaprogram.com.
Testimonial
Inspired and immensely practical scheduling from beginning
to finish, every detail lovingly crafted. Information in each session
given with both hands, vital tools for life on and off the mat.
Deeply inspiriing, informative and self empowering. Just as important
were the seemingly small, casual-appearing touches that knit the
whole: opportunities provided for self-expression, unexpected treats,
and unstinting dedication exhibited by Donna, Charles and Ellen
made this an extraordinary experience.~ Karen Lewis, Kansas
