LOCATION
Balanced Hot Yoga 1669 Willamette St. Eugene, OR 97401 (541) 844-4965
PROGRAM DETAILS
The Sanskrit word tapas translates to “fiery discipline,” and it is one of the oldest and most classical ideas of a focused practice that burns away all that keeps us separate from the world. In this unprecedented training at Balanced Hot Yoga in Eugene, an experienced group of teacher trainers led by Libby Cox (E-RYT 500) will inspire you to discover the physical, philosophical, and energetic benefits of hot yoga in an intensive format so that you may kindle this fire within and share it with others.
Unique in the hot yoga world, the Two Birds teacher training program focuses on how today’s alignment-based hot yoga practice can be enriched by classical Indian philosophy, pranayama, and Ayurveda to build an integrated yoga practice (in a heated room or not) for you and your students. The program is designed to bring students into focus with the body rather than escaping it, using the body itself as a form of meditation and concentration through the flow of movement.
In this teacher training program, you will:
Your study is led by a tenured faculty whose experience as yoginis, yoga teachers, and teacher trainers together spans several decades. They offer expertise in anatomy and kinesiology (Rachel Hector), yogic philosophy (Libby Cox and Ana Pilar Cruz), yoga for women's health (Delora Frederickson), and your trainers have long-standing practices in several styles including Ashtanga, Bikram, Vinyasa, and Kundalini yoga. This intensive program gives you the tools to lead safe yet challenging yoga practices for all levels of students while also teaching yoga as a truly holistic practice.

- Learn the basics of yogic energetic models, including the koshas, the gunas, the cakras, and the doshas
