Down Dog Yoga Teacher Training ProgramWE HAVE CHOSEN TO TAKE A SHORT SABBATICAL FROM OUR TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM AS WE REVISIT OUR INTENTION. WE WILL ANNOUNCE OUR MISSION AND INSPIRATIONS SOON! NAMASTE!
"We are all visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. If you can contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life." -Dalai Lama
At Down Dog we teach a style of vinyasa that hews closely to the tradition of modern-day master, Baron Baptiste. This style is based on the five foundational pillars of practice that infuse life and power into a vinyasa flow. It is a system of yoga that is so foundationally solid that no matter what else you may go on to study or teach, you will have a solid blueprint from which to work. Why should Down Dog be your yoga school of choice? Because we believe our teacher training program is the most comprehensive and proven training system in the DC area. It is a program that will empower you not just in your teaching but also in how you choose to live. Through practical methods and cutting edge techniques, we will help bring you to your personal edge, and your greatest potential. At Down Dog We will guide you toward discovering your highest potential as a teacher. But even more importantly how to truly bring yoga into your life; to begin the process of not just doing yoga, but living yoga. Our program is spread out over 9 months, allowing you to fully digest and put into use what you are learning in the program, as this comprehensive experience brings you through your own personal process and yoga experience. The Down Dog method of teaching has changed people's lives. It is an empowering and emotional experience that will lead you in a direction filled with intention and commitment. You will have an opportunity to explore parts of yourself you never thought existed, and give you the courage to live your life in ways you never thought possible.
Down Dog is a Registered School of Yoga Alliance. What does this mean to you? It means that Yoga Alliance has approved our studio and our program as a Yoga school for 200 hour power vinyasa training. Our program is now more comprehensive than ever as we have revamped our syllabus to continue to meet the very high standards set by yoga alliance. Once you successfully complete our program requirements, all you need to do is submit our graduation certificate to Yoga Alliance and you will receive your Yoga Alliance 200 hour certification. We have already successfully graduated more than 100 teachers from our last five programs. The Down Dog method just plain works. At Down Dog we are deeply committed to the journey of each student. Out team studies widely to stay on top of new and ancient wisdom in the yoga world so that we may bring our knowledge and experience into the studio. We are all daily practitioners of yoga ourselves and while this doesn't make us perfect, it puts us in a good position to impart to our students and teacher trainees the myriad of gifts this practice offers. In this program you will dig deep to discover your own roots, and reach high to find your edge. We hope that over the course of the program you will excavate a true voice of your own that will serve you in all your practices both on and off the mat for years to come.
