Firefly Yoga Company 262-Hour Teacher Training!
Each year, we reevaluate and rework our training program so that we can continue to offer what we hope will be the best experience we can share that will leave you as prepared as possible to teach yoga, or that will simply be a meaningful deepening of your practice if you feel you are called to remain a student. Regardless of the logistics and dates, our objectives are to ensure that our graduates could…
- teach safely and mindfully based upon awareness of the unique needs of each individual student and knowledge of human anatomy and modifications.
- create an environment in which students are free to work toward their own objectives and receive what they need from their practice when they come to the mat.
- communicate a solid knowledge of the history of yoga, yoga philosophy, and the physical practice of yoga.
- confidently plan classes that are grounded in learning about alignment and proper sequencing that will grow from much experience in both taking and practice-teaching classes.
- direct a lifelong yoga journey through exploration of areas of interest, both now and in the future, so that one can continually grow as a teacher and practitioner.
For this year’s session, we will meet on ten weekends over the course of eight months, January-August. Training hours on Saturdays will be 8 am to 5 pm, and on Sundays, we will meet 11 am to 6 pm. In addition to training weekends, there is a ten-class per month requirement, and some field trips and homework will also be expected.
2019 Training Weekends are: January 5/6, February 2/3, March 2/3 & 30/31, April 13/14, May 4/5 & 18/19, June 1/2, July 13/14, and August 3/4.
The cost of training is $2800 to be paid in four equal installments of $700 each, or there is an early bird, paid-in-full discounted rate of $2600*. Your tuition includes unlimited yoga at Firefly January-August 4!
In order to provide a high-quality training, we limit admission to ten students. If you’d like to be considered for next year’s training class (2020), we invite you to submit your application and a $200 application fee* by October 30, 2019. Your application will also include providing forms from some references who will attest to your amazingness!
Please contact us if you’d like to learn more or receive an application! We are happy to help if you have questions as you are discerning if our program is right for you. We definitely encourage you to practice at the studio to see if our community and spirit resonate with you if you aren’t a regular student with us already.
