Program Description
Thank you for your interest in the Kachmann Mind Body Institute 2009-2010 Teacher Training Program. This program offers a foundation for study in the ancient science of yoga. This program will deepen your own personal practice and prepare you to intelligently teach beginning and intermediate yoga classes from your own heart-felt path. We believe that establishing a firm foundation in your own yoga practice is key to becoming an inspiring yoga teacher.
You will learn how to use the tools and techniques from all eight limbs of yoga to gain deep insight from your own direct experience. This will enable you to develop wisdom and clarity as a teacher. Our contemporary approach is deeply rooted in the ancient wisdom of the yoga scriptures and incorporates the recent development by modern masters. By immersing yourself in the study of yoga, you move toward becoming a balanced, whole individual deeply united with yourself, others and the world that we live in.
