For Those Ready to Embrace and Commit to a Deeper Level of Practice and Aspiring Teachers
February 9, 2013-December 7, 2013

Do I have to change myself or adopt different beliefs? It is not necessary to change your belief system or have an advanced asana (posture) practice to begin delving deeper into the teachings of Yoga. Yoga will support and enhance whatever your belief system is by helping you to become more present and aware in every aspect of your life. You will begin to recognize and gain greater understanding to the unchanging part of yourself that longs for a deeper connection to the life around us. The colors of life already surrounding you will begin to brighten. A sense of clarity and purpose will begin to develop in life. The knowledge revealed to the seers of India is there for everyone to access, Yoga is simply a method to uncover this knowledge for yourself. What is the difference in the Yoga Mastery Program and a Teacher Training Program? Many of the people who take teacher training do not intend to teach, or find they do not want to teach as they move along in their studies. Falling in love with Yoga and being intrigued to learn more does not mean you have to teach Yoga. The teaching of Yoga is very different from practicing it. The skills to teach Yoga are not required to deepen one's practice. A group of students who do not want to teach may drop out of a teacher training program when if comes time to face the class. They will receive less benefit from a traditional teacher training program when it comes to practice teaching, it is possible that a sense of failure or incompleteness will result if the student does not complete the program or feels as if they did not succeed. Why pay for teacher training when you do not have to? The Yoga Mastery Program content will be pertinent to every student from beginning to end of the program. The content will not be less than a teacher training program, it quite possibly could be much more by focusing entirely on yoga techniques, history, philosophy and anatomy. The knowledge gained, personal growth and the experience of the program can be life changing. What will I learn in the Yoga Mastery Program? The Yoga Mastery Program will offer all of the same content that a Teacher Training Program will without the teaching methodologies and practicum. The standards set for the Yoga Mastery Program are same standards set by the National Yoga Alliance for 200 HR Teacher Training Programs in regards to asana techniques, anatomy and physiology, yoga philosophy, ethics and lifestyle practices, chanting, pranayama and electives. The one change in the Yoga Mastery Program at Hegel Yoga is the anatomy and physiology hours are double what the minimum standards are by the Yoga Alliance. This rigorous program will teach you about your own anatomy and physiology beginning from the innermost canal of the long bones of the body, the Haversian Canals, and working outward from there. We will work one system at a time through the body, toward the subtle layers of energy that surround our body and are described in Yoga's classical texts. All of this will be related to the practices of Yoga and meditation. Guest speakers will be brought in to discuss neurobiology, muscle cell physiology, pranayama and the respiratory system, Sanskrit and chanting, and more. "Know Thyself" ~ Plato Greater understanding and realization of the Self, and the reduction of suffering that follows, is the root intention of a full practice of Yoga. In the Yoga Mastery Program we will begin to know ourselves from the inside out beginning with the gross anatomy of the body and moving to the more subtle, and less visible, parts of the body that are taught in Yoga. The body is often said to be the gateway to the mind, this gateway will be the starting point to an adventure of the Self that could change your life, uncovering what is already within you and allowing it to shine brightly. |
