Revolution Yoga/ Institute For Yoga Studies

Have you ever envisioned yourself teaching yoga or are simply looking to deepen your practice? Then you have come to the right place. Take a moment to imagine this. You walk into work one day, gliding through the space hugging and saying hello to half the room. There are no fluorescents, only candles light the balmy space. You will not spend your time behind a computer, rather you and your students will be pulsing, moving and flowing and unison. No meetings on productivity, instead as you settle in you share some philosophy on the pursuit of happiness, chant in unison, and set intentions for bettering your lives and the world around you. Your students fill the space, buzzing in anticipation of the yummy flowing celebration of movement soon to come. As the physical practice begins you move through the room guiding the pulsing swell of energy, supremely grateful, filled with energy, compassion and a feeling of being truly alive. After class you head over to meet the first of several private clients for the day. Your first client, John, was suffering from lower back pain before he began yoga with you. But today he opens the door to greet you without pain and a warm smile. He shares his week with you as you roll out your mats. You spend the next hour working together to gently stretch and strengthen his body leaving him deeply relaxed, peaceful and eternally grateful. Your next client Sara started yoga with you to improve fertility as she was struggling to conceive for years. She did some research and came to the conclusion that yoga might help. Sara now has you over for Mommy and Me yoga classes with her and some friends to help bond with their new babies, relieve their own bodily complaints, and give their babies an early start! The client after that, Eva, has a stressful job and needs help unwinding, so you guide her through a restorative practice and guided meditation to help shut off the stress response, leaving her with a sense of relief and deep peace she can't find anywhere else. Your life is dedicated to bettering the lives of those around you, working in a field where you leave peace and liberation in your wake. At $85 an hour for each private you teach, five days a week and your five hour work day bettering peoples lives earns you six figures. Now, ask yourself, would I like this to be my reality? It can be if you're ready to make it happen. The Demand for yoga on Long Island is growing fast! Turn on the TV and catch local news stations featuring stories on the benefits of yoga. Open the newspaper and find a different article every week touting yoga's benefits. Most gyms, chiropractic offices, wellness centers and spas now offer weekly yoga classes. And yoga studios are popping up in every town. Over the last 20 years millions of people have uncovered the amazing physical and emotional benefits of yoga and have let their friends and families know. The demand grows bigger every day. As our population and knowledge of the benefits of the practice grow, so too will the demand for the stress reducing benefits of yoga, especially in a private setting. So if you've already felt the benefits of yoga in your own body and want to deepen your understanding of the practice or even pass your knowledge on to students in private or group classes it's time to take the next step and invest in an internationally accredited program with Revolution Yoga. Why Revolution Yoga's teacher training program is uniquely different from other teacher training programs. We have gone through great measures to develop this training beyond the normal boundaries of a 200 hour training: Time after time we have had instructors come to us compaining that they left other 200 hour trainings feeling unprepared to teach, confused about what meditation is, and unsure of what yoga really means. We believe this is an integral part of training so we have hired training leaders who not only are good at what they do, they are good at teaching you how to teach (an art unto itself). Amanda has taken the time to put together a manual that not only gives a great overview of the real roots of yoga (the way the sages and rishi's of the himalayas intended the knowledge be passed on) but gives trainees direct experience of the 8 limbs of the yoga practice through special journaling, meditation and self-exploration throughout training. The best teachers teach from experience, from what they know. Here you will gain knowedge not just from study but direct experience in a palatable, exciting, and easy to understand formula. So often we get trainee alumnis coming back beaming with gratitude as their knowledge of yoga philosophy and practices extends far beyond other teachers trained elsewhere. We have had many who have already taken 200 hour take our training to gain a deeper understanding. We are very proud of the trainees we have sent out into the world and very proud of the program we have put together. We are an Internationally Accredited Yoga School through Yoga Alliance: Not all schools are registered with Yoga Alliance but the Alliance creates stringent requirements for certification that ensure the training you are receiving will be holistic, thorough and cover the important bases. Yoga Alliance has established widely-adopted standards for education and certification at the 200 and 500-hour levels. Some establishments will not hire a teacher without certification and the only way to become a "Registered Yoga Teacher." (RYT) is if you've graduated from a Registered Yoga Alliance School. So, be sure that any training you choose follows the standards set by Yoga Alliance. You'll learn to teach a style of vinyasa flow yoga that will leave your students buzzing. In our program, you'll learn how to practice and teach the popular flowing "vinyasa" style of yoga. We'll teach you important alignment cues, how to sequence a flow energetically so your students feel wonderful after class and how to link your physical postures to life lessons that students can take off the mat and into their world. We use the science of Ayurveda to sequence classes (yoga for the seasons) so you will be given the ancient knowledge of how to make your students feel wonderful as the world around them and inside of them changes. We also focus on injury prevention and repair, an important aspect too often overlooked in yoga teacher trainings. You'll be equipped to teach a wide variety of students in a wide variety of settings. The basis of our training is Vinyasa Flow Yoga but we also feel it's important to have the tools to help all ages and all capabilities. In our training we offer modules of other modalities to compliment your overall teaching abilities to make you more attractive as a hire, and more capable when dealing with private clients and their unique constitutions. -Restorative Yoga -Prenatal Yoga -Mommy and Me Yoga -Kids Yoga -Thai Yoga Massage -Ayurvedic Yoga You'll learn anatomy & biomechanics in an easy to understand way. The body is a complicated system that when balanced is a miracle of nature. Imbalance leads to discomfort and a very poor quality of life. Yoga often starts for people in the body so it's important to know how the body works and how yoga works on the body. It is too easy for students to get injured in a yoga class because of bad alignment in a posture or repetitive damaging movement. If a teacher does not know how to modify for injury a student can hurt even more. That's why we put such an emphasis on knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics in our training. We'll cover modern anatomy, physiology and kinesiology in a way that makes it easy to understand and apply. Your students will feel well taken care off due to your knowledge. You'll learn about the subtle-body (energetic body) When you train with us, you'll learn about the energy body and its effects on our emotions, health, and well-being. Not only will you learn to feel your energetic body you'll learn how to manipulate energy through breathing techniques and yoga postures to offer your students a deeply transformative experience. Included in our study will be Chakras, Nadis, Koshas, Vayus, Pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, chanting, hand mudras, and ayurveda basics.
