Teacher Training
The true teacher dwells within and around you at all times, in all beings, and in all
situations. The more we practice seeing the guru in our lives, the more receptive we become to the teachings. The more receptive we are to all our teachers in all their forms, the more brilliantly the teacher within us begins to shine. That is our nature, and all the guru can really do is help reveal and remind us of our true nature. I have come to see that the only true job of the teacher is to see the divine, perfect, wholeness of the student—to serve as a reminder and mirror until the student remembers his or her true nature. Enlightenment occurs when that light shines freely. This is the realization of yoga.
I have had the profoundly good fortune to study with many amazing teachers, and as that light was shone upon and ignited within me, I have been graced with the chance to do the same for the incredible students I am blessed to serve. It is a sincere honor to delve deeper into the teachings and practices of yoga with students everywhere. If you are interested in training with me, here are the current options:
RootEd: Education from the Root (CO) WINTER 2012 FULL. FALL 2012 begins OCTOBER. Root Education Apprenticeship & Teacher Training Program is a 200-hour Yoga Alliace Registered School. RootEd is the educational "branch" of Root and represents the philosophy and practice that has shaped my own teaching. When we are firmly established in our own practice, the teacher shines forth. This is not a mass-scale training, nor is it a fast one. It is a SMALL and intimate group that becomes a family, and this unique experience involves direct mentorship as well as hands-on apprenticeship opportunities at retreats, workshops, and ongoing classes. The apprenticeship defers to the wisdom of Sri Patanjali, whose teaching was that the practice be cultivated over a long time, with reverent and dedicated effort, and great love. This 6-month intensive immersion is designed to support the yogi who wants to delve deeper into their own embodied yoga so they can heed, authentically, the call serve in whatever form or forum they will shine. Over the course of our journey, you will study directly under me as well as the highly-experienced faculty from all over the country.
