This 5-week series guides new and experienced Yoga Teachers though the challenging task of successfully introducing yoga fundamentals to beginning students. Many teachers are unsure of what is essential at the introductory level and what should be omitted. This series follows the 4-week introductory series that Raenel has been successfully teaching for ten years, and which has helped her students grasp the fundamental physical aspects of yoga while gently inspiring and introducing more subtle aspects of the practice. This series is ideal for teachers who currently offer introductory classes or who plan to add them to their schedule in the future.

The week to week schedule is as follows: 

Week 1 - Sequencing Principles

Week 2 - Introducing Yoga

Week 3 - Elaboration

Week 4 - Building Intensity

Week 5 - Consolidation

(Advanced Level 3-4)
Fridays 1-3:30pm

Integrate beautifully sequenced asana classes into your weekly routine!

These weekly asana classes are for yoga teachers who wish to expand their teaching skills and repertoire while engaging in a practice that is specifically oriented to yoga teachers. Whether you have been teaching for many years or have just begun, these classes offer a range of information relevant to any yoga teacher. These classes are two and a half hours in length and are characterized by deep postural investigation while integrating philosophy, pranayama, adjustments, modifications, sequencing principles, and therapeutics.

Individual classes present whole and integrated themes and yet are collectively developmental.  These classes may be attended on a drop-in basis, yet overall themes span over a series of five weeks. Periodically, and according to demand, a Special Topic Series will take place over 5-weeks. Special Topics Series involve a component of lecture and will therefore require pre-registration for the full 5 weeks.

Drop-In Rate : $25                                      
5-Week Pre-Registration :$100
