Teacher Program

Is this for me? See if these statements apply to you:

• I practice yoga for the sheer joy of it, and as a tool to help me lead a better life.
• I believe everyone, not just people who believe in Hinduism, can benefit from yoga.
• Yoga students should be empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and their minds.
• I am ambitious and can manage my own projects quite well.
• Yoga can be practiced anywhere, not just in a yellow-walled studio with a statue of Ganesha.
• When newcomers enter my class, I try to welcome them, rather than impress them.
• I enjoy studying philosophy and interpreting it for myself. I enjoy exploring the unchartered territory of new ideas.
• I reject hierarchical systems that pretend someone is better than someone else.
• Making and posting fliers to promote myself sounds like a lot of fun.
• I enjoy live music and would love to work with musicians.
• My musical tastes have been described as edgy, ecletic, or downright weird.
• I would love to work for myself.
• My personal yoga practice usually involves music.
• Bright lights and large mirrors just don't do it for me.

If these statements apply to you, congratulations, you are a budding Punk Rock Yoga teacher.
