Advanced Practitioner Certification
Welcome to Level II! If you’re on the track to become a certified yoga elements teacher, you’ll be here next. Or, if you’re already certified at a 200 hour level from another school, you can also start here!
Modelled on the steps of the Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell, these 11 
days of training (55 hours) will guide you through a personal transformation at physical, mental, and emotional levels.
Through yoga sequences, pranayamas, exercises, and dyads you will learn to elicit states of being and connect them to wisdom tools to free your mind, including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Alfred Korzybski, Robert Anton Wilson, Dr. John Grinder, cognitive linguistics and more.
Along your journey to develop your skills as a teacher, you must first transform yourself, a process much more powerful than simply memorizing texts. You will be taking philosophy into your body, to create an inner trance-formation.
Including workshops and targeted exercises on:
- New! ‘TRANCENDAS’ - A new and unique system that combines Vinyasa yoga and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Uses specific postures, breathing, introspective questions, and trance to connect peak states to important themes in your life, and wires in change at deep personal levels.
- New! Experiential Philosophy - Many philosophies are pointing you towards one thing: freedom. Simply reciting and memorizing will not take you there. Experience combined with wisdom will. Using guided exercises, you will experience how philosophies are connected to states you know already, and some you have yet to experience. The DNA of this course weaves key philosophical concepts from beginning to end, and into your body through the practice itself.
- New! Embodied Cognition -This course is based on the principle that there is no separation between the body and mind, exploring the interrelationship of chakras, energy, emotions, sound, and physiology. You will learn some of the many different approaches to shaping perception and creating personal change.
- Vinyasa, & Ashtanga Vinyasa training - Learn and practice the powerful fundamental postures, breathing patterns, bandhas, and mudras as taught by Sri Krishnamacharaya, Pattabhi Jois and BKS Iyengar.
- Pranayamas, mantras, and meditation - Each session we meet, this practice is about transformation. Practicing mantras -the sacred vibrations of sound, brightening your energy body with pranayama, and even going beyond self-limiting ideas in deep states of meditation.
- Content for teaching - you will continue honing a practice and understanding that will become the basis of what you can teach in Art of Teaching.
