SHADOW YOGA with MARK HORNER

 

Saturday, October 9 - 2:30-5:00pm

$45 before 9/25; $55 after 9/25

 

Through discussion and active practice, this workshop will provide an introduction to the important principles of Shadow Yoga. This evolving and powerful practice is quickly gaining recognition for its depth, and ability to evoke lasting, fundamental change in mind and body. At the end of the workshop Mark will give a short demonstration of the Shadow Yoga prelude forms. All students with a basic grounding in Hatha Yoga are warmly welcomed.

 

About Shadow Yoga: developed by yoga master Zhander Remete, Shadow Yoga draws from the preparatory principles common to Hatha Yoga and the self-cultivating arts (martial and dance). Utilizing dynamic stances and warrior forms in round and spiral movements, Shadow Yoga works to remove blockages to the free flow of vital energy, while igniting the inner power mechanism. This sets the stage for the internal work of asana, pranayama, and meditation. http://www.shadowyoga.com/

200-HOUR TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM  with TONY BRIGGS

Spring Session: May 10 – July 18, 2010

Fall Session: September 27 – December 4, 2010

 

Traditionally, the practice of yoga and the art of teaching yoga were learned under the tutelage of a single teacher or at most a small number of teachers, over many years. This is still the best way to gain a deep and coherent understanding of these subtle and complex matters. I want to offer you an opportunity to embark on such a journey. Since this program is meant to give you an on-going in-depth working relationship with one primary teacher, it is strictly limited to six students.

 

The 200-hour Yoga Teacher-Training Program is an intensive course, mostly held at Turtle Island Yoga in San Anselmo, designed to train you in the practical skills of teaching yoga. This 200-hour program is suitable for students who have not yet taken a yoga teacher-training course and want to learn the practical, everyday craft of teaching yoga effectively.

ONGOING CONSULTATION & MENTORING PROGRAM with TONY BRIGGS

Spring Session: May 10 – July 18, 2010

Fall Session: September 27 – December 4, 2010

 

The Ongoing Consultation and Mentorship Program is for yoga teachers who would like to deepen their understanding, enhance their classroom presence, and sharpen their teaching skills.

This program is designed for yoga teachers who have already completed a basic 200-hour teacher-training program and who recognize the value of on-going support and consultation with a seasoned senior teacher. 

We will meet for 10-week Sessions during which you will take one asana/pranayama class each week selected from Tony’s public-class schedule, assist Tony in one of his public classes each week, and participate in 10 hours of group consultation per 10-week Session. The Sessions will meet at Turtle Island Yoga from 11:30am-2:00pm on the following Saturdays.

Spring 2010 Session: May 15, June 5 & 26, July 17

Fall 2010 Session: October 2 & 23, November 13, December 4

Each 10-week Session stands alone and requires a separate enrollment, so you can begin at any time and take breaks as you need to, according to your own interest and scheduling needs.

Cost: $750 per 10-week Session.

Pre-requisites: A minimum of 3 years ongoing study with a known teacher; a minimum of 24 hours of class-time with Tony Briggs in the last 12 months; and you must have successfully completed a 200-hour yoga-teacher-training certificate program.

About Turtle Island Yoga

Turtle Island offers a variety of yoga classes, taught in the Iyengar style by a dedicated staff of teachers. 

Turtle Island teachers are committed to their own ongoing yoga practice, and to furthering their education. They extend their commitment, experience and fresh outlook to their students.

What Does Turtle Island mean? In many myths around the world, it is the turtle, which supports the entire cosmos on its back and is the foundation of the manifest universe we all experience. This vision is shared by both Hindu and some Native American mythic traditions. Our intention at Turtle Island Yoga is to present an age-old practice useful to new-world students.
