Teacher Trainings
Shakti Spirit Yoga is registered with Yoga Alliance USA to run both 200 and 500 hour trainings. The way we have chosen to do this, is to offer Level 1 trainings of 6 weeks, over 230 hours. And Level 2 trainings over 6 weeks at 300 hours. You might choose to just take the Level 1 Training and stop there. Or you might want to go further at a later date, and continue on into our Level 2 Training. If you graduate successfully from our trainings, you will receive certification from Shakti Spirit Yoga at the appropriate level. As we are registered with Yoga Alliance, successful graduates of our trainings can also apply to Yoga Alliance for automatic acceptance with them (at the appropriate level and upon paying their fee). If you already have 200 hour (or equivalent) certification that you took with another studio/teacher, it is still possible to join us for our Level 2 training. More information about this is on the Level 2 Teacher Training page, which you can access by clicking here. Below we have written very general information about our trainings, but there is a lot more information written on the website. YOU CAN ACCESS MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS ON THE LEVEL 1, 2012 TRAINING IF YOU click here. YOU CAN ACCESS MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS ON THE LEVEL 2, 2013 TRAINING IF YOU click here. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT RACHEL HULL & SHAKTI SPIRIT YOGA: Senior teacher and director, Rachel Hull, has taught on over 20 teacher trainings between Australia, Indonesia, China, Malaysia and India. She has been practicing for 25 years, teaching for 15 and is registered with Yoga Alliance at the highest level E-RYT500. Additionally she put in years of practice and study before there was such a thing as Yoga Alliance. Rachel has put together a team of experienced and professional teachers, to offer you the best possible training. She worked for many years on Yoga Arts and Solomon Yogalates Trainings, as well as set up Yoga Alliance registered trainings in Shanghai and Fuzhou, China. The Shakti Spirit trainings originally started in Goa, India, and are now based in Ubud, Bali. We are registered with Yoga Alliance to run trainings at both the 200 and 500 hour levels. LEVEL 1 TRAININGS: The Level 1 trainings are registered with Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level, although the actual number of hours on our courses is more than this at closer to 230 hours. The Level 1, 2012 dates are 9 Sept - 21 Oct, 2012 (orientation on the 9th). Below we have written very general information, but there is a lot more information written about the 2012 training on the website. You can access more specific details including curriculum, teachers, venue, prices, accommodation, etc if you click here. GENERAL LEVEL 1 INFORMATION: The Bali Level 1 training runs over 6 weeks and totals approximately 230 hours. The training is held in Ubud, Bali, at a venue called Santra Putra. Santra Putra is the home of a well known Balinese Artist, Wayan Karja, and is set amongst green rice fields and nature. Bali, being a Hindu island and well aquainted with Yoga, is a perfect place to attend a training. It is intended that students stay 'in-house' at Santra Putra or in one of their nearby bungalows. Breakfast is included in the accommodation price, and we will share a once per week Ayurvedic dinner together. All rooms have fans, private bathrooms and kitchen/cooking facilities. Other meals are available within a couple of minutes walk, at local warungs (delicious local restaurants), or more upmarket restaurants in town (5 minutes taxi ride away). AIM OF LEVEL 1 TRAINING: The aim of our Level 1 training, is to learn to become an intelligent teacher to beginner and intermediate students, as well as a great assistant teacher. Teaching beginners is more challenging than people realise, and takes a lot of skill, as well as a good eye to know what to look for. In this course you will receive instruction in movement related anatomy and physiology, Yogic philosophy, asana - including static postures where we focus on alignment, as well as Vinyasa Flow sequences, adjusting skills, the use of props, and teaching and sequencing skills. Education in Ayurvedic philosophy as well as practical Ayurveda is always a feature of our trainings. The emphasis in the pranayama & meditation classes at this level of training, is in developing a personal practice. LEVEL 2 TRAINING: We are excited to now be offering a Yoga Alliance registered 500 hour Level 2 Training in Ubud, Bali (our training is actually 300 hours. Keep reading to find out more...) The Level 2, 2013 training dates are 31 March - 12 May, 2013 (Orientation on the 31st March). If you put the 300 hours from our Level 2 training, together with your 200 hour Yoga Alliance certification, you can upgrade to RYT 500 status with Yoga Alliance. (Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500 hour level with Yoga Alliance). For more information on our Level 2 Trainings, please click here.
