Just in from SoundYoga (WSB sponsor):

West Seattle’s own SoundYoga is now accepting applications for its Certified 500-hour Teacher Training program.

SoundYoga’s Chris Dormaier limits the class to only ten students. “The small class means that each student can benefit from the rich learning environment that we create and the personal attention of a mentor,” said Chris. “Our program is also special because our students learn not only to teach beginning yoga to groups but to individuals as well.”

The teacher training course includes:
• History and philosophy of yoga
• Anatomy and physiology
• Asana
• Pranayama
• Ayurveda
• Meditation, mantra and chanting
• Course planning
• Teaching methods for groups and individuals

The training fulfills all the requirements for Krishnamacharya Healing Yoga Foundation (KHYF) Teacher Certification and is the only teacher training course in Seattle registered with the KHYF.

“Some students participate to deepen their understanding of yoga for their own practice,” said Chris, “and others enroll because they see teaching yoga as their path in life.”

The course is presented by Christine Dormaier, M.S., CYT, ERYT 500, the director of SoundYoga and a certified Krishnamacharya Healing Yoga Foundation (KHYF) Teacher Trainer. Guest teachers for special sessions are Sonia Nelson, a KHYF Certified Teacher Trainer; and Julie James, LMP, Yoga Teacher and Ayurvedic Practitioner.
