This is a beautiful moment in the history of appleyoga because it marks the formal founding of a community of appleyoga teachers. We are thrilled to offer this invitation to join in a transformational journey to the experience of a more authentic and creative self and a deeper form of service in your life.
appleyoga's teacher training offers you an integrated teaching style designed by Katy Appleton to combine the fundamentals of both contemporary & traditional yoga, functional anatomy and physiology, philosophy, vitality and health.
Intensive Training Course Structure
This 2010 intensive teacher training course is set over 3 weekends in September and 2 weeks in Turkey in October. Incorporating the appleyoga Foundations course in the first two weekends, this is an immersion in yoga and learning to teach yoga, designed as an alternative to our 6 months course.
We also use unique teaching methods such as Yamuna Body Rolling to increase your somatic awareness and specially designed applepod sequences that will help you to create distinctive and effective classes.
This training is suited to people who are new to teaching yoga as well as teachers who want to master the appleyoga approach.
You will learn just as much, in a shorter space of time!
