Winter 2021 Student Yoga Study Program 200 aka (RYT200)

Dear students,

Is your head spinning with all of the options for teacher training?

Nearly every studio is offering some kind of training and you can find online training everywhere!  And unfortunately, all yoga trainings are not created equally  ;-(

It matters greatly that you choose wisely and I want to make sure that I'm doing my best to articulate to you what The Gratitude Warriors and I can deliver in our Student Yoga Study 200. 

It matters greatly because there is one thing we can't get back if you're not completely satisfied with your choice ... which is our time.  

At Gratitude, we are super sensitive to this universal truth and want to ensure you are 100% satisfied! 

Most have a "No Money Back" policy but we at Gratitude believe so deeply in our ability to "WOW" you, that if you don't LOVE your training experience for ANY reason, we will refund you 100% of your tuition...NO QUESTIONS ASKED ... unless you want to tell us ;-)

I can make this irresistible offer because between my team and me, we've been doing this for more than 50 years combined!  So what does that mean to you? Well if you're going to learn you might as well learn from those that have the highest level of knowledge and experience possible.

That's why we created The Student Yoga Study 200.  So we can help take you from where you are to where you want to be. 

You're here with me now, and most likely you've heard of our values and what we at Gratitude stand for ... you truly know where you want to go in life and you know why you want to get there.  You're going to want to be stewarded through a yoga training by those at the highest level possible and we'd like that to be us.

I am honored to offer you one of the most comprehensive yoga training for students available in the Raleigh, North Carolina area.

Here's the commitment we make to you:  Breakthrough to a brand new you!  Experience being open mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Learn how to connect the dots and live from this space off of the yoga mat!  

You will emerge from this training with a new level of competency, depth, and understanding.  Primarily, your personal practice will experience radical shifts.  It is about discovering new and profound ways to experience life and the potential for achieving what's most important to you!  

Participating in the SYS200 does not require that you currently teach or, have the desire to do so. What I will require, is 100% commitment to your own, unique intentions for participating. 

Some of what you can expect from us:

• Focused personal attention to exposing the most authentic, powerful you ... which will directly translate into a natural expression of who you are, whether you decide to teach or not.  
• The science and art of assisting, sequencing, proper and safe universal principles of alignment, 'scoring' classes (how to use music effectively in class) and more...
• A powerful understanding of the five “sheaths” or coverings, called 'koshas', that obscure the light of the Soul so you can master your inner and outer worlds and flourish at every level of your being. 
• Meditation, relaxation, restoration and release.
• Required readings.  These books will act as your foundation and life long reference for continued excellence in leadership on and off of your yoga mat.
• A commitment to helping you exceed your expectations of the program.   

Thank you for taking the time to consider this program.  I hope we have the opportunity to share with you what we've compiled over our journey of close to 50 years combined! Scroll down to see the dates and times of each module, and a short clip from a previous training.
