Yoga Teacher Training

Hello!  I know I rarely post but I thought I needed to share about my current goals. I am getting very close to being certified to be  Triyoga basics yoga teacher certified.  I am choosing not to pursue the Yoga Alliance certification because I do not plan to practice at a gym or studio that requires it. My plan is to offer free classes to the public.  I live in a town that has a lot of organizations like the YMCA, senior centers, Women's clubs, and a spiritual center. I also hope to meet some people that would like private sessions.  I chose to study Triyoga because Kaliji the founder is a 30 year vegan who focuses on the flow of the breath and movement along with proper alignment.  As a PT this resonates with me because poor posture and alignment are major no nos in all aspects of functional movement.  Triyoga also focuses on Prana and meditation.  Yoga is not all about the asanas (body postures). Yoga means the union of the body, mind and spirit.  It is not just stretching and handstands. The breath is key and we use the postures to show how no matter what difficulties we may experience in our lives if we control the breath we can experience it with clarity and no stress.  How many times do you see people straining so much in their workouts that they cannot get a good rhythm of breath?  Stress to the body raises cortisol levels (stress hormones) which can effect your adrenal glands and keep you in a constant flight or flight response. I run/cycle/swim but always keep my breath rhythmic and yoga has helped to strengthen my lung capacity. 

So my goal is to be done by fall and hopefully begin Level 1 certification studies with my teacher when she returns to the states from China.  Her name is Gina Kray and she is awesome.

This month marks my 5 year anniversary of Veganism by the way!  :)
