Summer 200-Hour Basic Certification Teacher Training with Raji Thron
Start date: June 24, 2019
If you have weekday time open and want your weekends for other summer activities, this teacher training format could be perfect for you. The Summer Training is unique because it is more intensive than other formats we offer. Participants are encouraged to dive wholeheartedly into their own practice, practice teaching and class observations in order to further their own development in yoga, and to gain practical insight into teaching technique, methodology and style. Each training session includes theory, postural practice, breathing practice, meditation, relaxation, discussion and teaching practicum. Main presentations and classes are taught by Raji Thron, with assistance from Yoga Synthesis™ Staff Teachers and graduates.
