I just completed YogaPoser's 200-hour Intensive Teacher Training, and it was incredible. It changed my life so much for the better and I'm so excited about the journey upon which I'm embarking. James Brown, founder and lead senior teacher, and Alexandria Crow, senior teacher who is also the featured cover model for the October issue of Yoga Journal, are outstanding teachers offering deep knowledge of yoga asanas, practice, anatomy, philosophy, hands-on adjustments, common injuries and related modifications, nutrition and more. They really believe in the practice of yoga as a way of life and that each individual's practice is a highly personal one. So they teach their teaching graduates how to really observe, inquire and instruct each individual - whether in a group setting or private. Plus, each teacher has a lot of actual real-world teaching time and feedback throughout the course, unlike other training programs. Note the difference: some studios offer 2-week, multi-discipline, non-fulltime trainings and the prospective teachers graduate having taught one pose in a public class. Only one. YogaPoser gave me a lot of public class teaching experience so when I graduated I was confident and ready for the responsibility of teaching. Bottom line: the people I've met - James and Alex, my beloved classmates, the senior apprentices, and Diane Brown, James' lovely canine soulmate - have enriched my life; I am so grateful for all of them.
