500h RYT The phd
I'm going all the way!
This is an intensive training that will build on the work you have done thus far in every area of your teaching and your being. It is designed for you who are interested in continuing down the path of growth and development. The training consists of “drop-in” training modules (see below) and monthly group training days (one Saturday/month) with sacred circle, teaching feedback and techniques sessions led by Annie Q. The workload is spread over the course of 20 months. The 500 hours that you attain through this training will take you to 1000 hours, PHD status (at this time Yoga Alliance only recognizes up to 500 hours, but hours can be logged and maintained and you will be grandfathered in, if and when they offer the designation). There is a mandatory requirement of Life Coaching. Students in our PhD program are required to complete eight additional Modules. We currently offer 13 modules that are built to support a teachers passion and interests. This program is rooted in accountability and community but it also fosters individual interest. Due to the nature of the training group size is limited.

YOGA MOBILITY WORKSHOP
Mobility is Medicine!
After the age of 30, the human body stops naturally developing muscle, and body tissues become less pliable. One might think strengthening is the key component to maximize function but it is actually mobility. Mobility creates access within the body and without it, one may feel stuck and will be prone to injury. This unit is designed to delve deeper into advanced anatomy and physiology for the established yoga teacher. Through integrated lecture, hands on, and yoga practice, we will review major body systems, common injuries, and proper modifications for injury/injury prevention for a safe yet powerful LivFree yoga practice. Participants will need to bring a notebook, pen, and be prepared to practice yoga.
