300 Hour Advanced Holistic Yoga Teacher Training 300 Hour Advanced Holistic Yoga Teacher Training Information Packet The Soul of Yoga The Soul Institute 627 Encinitas Blvd 162 S Rancho Santa Fe Road Encinitas, CA Suite A70, Encinitas, CA 92024 92024 760.943.7685 300hr Advanced Holistic Teacher Training ​ The Soul of Yoga 300 Hour Advanced Holistic Yoga Teacher Training Thank you for giving us the opportunity to tell you about our 300 Hour Advanced Holistic Teacher Training Program! Here are just some of the qualifications that set Soul of Yoga training apart: ● Our master level faculty. While some other training programs are taught by ​ Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, PT’s or other non-yogic healers, our faculty are true Yoga Experts, Masters and Researchers that have been living and studying yoga and its therapeutic effects for decades. Leslie Kaminoff, Nischala Joy Devi, Richard Miller, Amy Weintraub and other renowned yoga luminaries will impart their depth of wisdom to you in this very special training program. ● A deeply spiritual journey. Yoga is a spiritual tradition. Many schools try to divorce the ​ spiritual from their program leaving students with a dry, academic and clinical understanding of the Yogic healing concepts. Soul of Yoga’s training takes students deep into the heart and soul of the Yogic teachings, guiding you on a journey into your own spiritual being. To us Yoga Teacher Training is more than vocational, it’s a pathway for personal transformation. ● So many elective choices. Our students have the chance to “specialize” their healing ​ career by choosing 150 hours of elective courses. Whether you want to specialize in Hatha or Kundalini, Ayurveda or working with addiction, women’s issues or the aging population you’ll find the right coursework to suit your own personal yogic path. ● Total freedom. We make it easy by allowing you to take the curriculum in any order, ​ providing distance learning options, transfer credit and by offering low cost, no credit check payment plans. ● Repeat classes. Soul of Yoga offers our students the opportunity to repeat in-house ​ courses they’ve already taken at no additional cost. We know that Yoga Therapy study is a lifelong endeavor and we want to support you in having a deeper and richer understanding of what you’ve learned. ● Continuing your education. The required courses and many of the elective courses in ​ the 300 Hour Advanced Holistic Training program are also part of our 825 Hour IAYT Accredited Yoga Therapy Training curriculum. Students that graduate from our 300 hour program have the opportunity to continue directly onto the Yoga Therapy Training program without a bridge program required. 1 ​What our graduates say about us... “ The Soul of Yoga 300 hour Advanced Holistic Yoga Teacher Training changed my life.

  • INTERVIEW with B.K.S. IYENGAR on BACKBENDS 12/5/91 Questions Asked by Victor Oppenheimer and Patricia Walden
    INTERVIEW WITH B.K.S. IYENGAR ON BACKBENDS 12/5/91 Questions asked by Victor Oppenheimer and Patricia Walden These questions were asked during the teachers’ backbend intensive Mr. Iyengar taught in November-December, 1991. This intensive was videotaped, and some of the questions refer to the videotapes. The interview was transcribed and edited by Francie Ricks. Victor Oppenheimer: Why backbends? B.K.S. Iyengar: In the asana systems, the most advanced postures are the backbends. The human structure is such that the idea does not strike anyone that the spinal vertebrae can be moved backward as well as forward and sideways, without causing injury. In the field of yoga, backbends are not taught at the early stages in the practice of this art, but only when the body is trained and when it is tuned and toned to such an extent that it can accept these poses. Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. But in backbends, like meditations, each person has to feel. And that’s why I thought that after fifty years of teaching, at least some of my students should get the background of the right means to perform the backbends. Backbends are not poses meant for exhibitionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes. The back body cannot be seen; it can only be felt. That’s why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back, first on the peripheral level, then inwards, towards the core.

  • With These 10 Easy Poses Rest Easy HOME PRACTICE When Life Is at Its Most Demanding, It’S Hard to Imagine Finding a Little Extra Room for Relaxation
    rest easy Incorporate restorative yoga into your daily routine with these 10 EASY POSES rest easy HOME PRACTICE WHEN LIFE IS at its most demanding, it’s hard to imagine finding a little extra room for relaxation. But that’s just when you most need to set aside time in your personal practice to get centered, says Iyengar yoga teacher Judith Han- son Lasater, a pioneer of restorative yoga. the sequence that she’s crafted here will help you do just that. these simple supported poses will gradually bring your attention deep inside, preparing you to rest completely in a luxurious savasana (Corpse Pose) for 20 minutes. Lasater ticks off enough benefits to convince even the most time-pressed and stressed skeptic to add this project to the to-do list. “When you do restor- ative yoga,” she says, “you’ll stop having the consistent pain of fatigue that we ignore or hide with caffeine. you’ll begin to feel more patient. you won’t react as quickly.” In essence, Lasater believes that you will function more efficiently and effectively. Plus, she adds, you’re guaranteed to love the feeling of deep relaxation. “Never in my many years of teaching has anyone ever told me that they got into a relaxed state and didn’t want to go back to it,” she says. to surrender completely in savasana or in any other restorative pose, set a timer for 20 minutes. try not to judge yourself if you feel antsy or your mind races. allow your thoughts to float by and come back to your intention to surrender.

  • Restorative Yoga
    Yoga Club Teacher Training Manual Restorative Yoga Restorative Yoga “Rest & Restore Your Body, Renew Your Spirit” Chrys Kub, Physical Therapist, E-RYT 500 Yoga Club Teacher Training www.yogaclub.us Page 1 Yoga Club Teacher Training Manual Restorative Yoga What is Restorative Yoga Let's face it: Some yoga poses are just delicious. And if yoga were a buffet, restorative postures would most definitely be at the dessert table. Restorative poses are soothing and well-supported and offer the opportunity to linger quietly for a few moments to savor the sweet stillness. In an ideal world every asana in our practice would feel restorative, but poses that fall into the restorative category have a unique ability to leave us feeling nourished, well rested, and restored. Traditionally, yoga classes and home practices begin with active postures followed by a brief restorative posture or two. The development of restorative postures is largely credited to B.K.S. Iyengar, of Pune, India. Iyengar has been teaching yoga for more than sixty years and is widely recognized as a worldwide authority. Iyengar's early teaching experience revealed how pain or injury can result from a student straining in a yoga pose. To alleviate this, he experimented with "props," modifying each pose to each student’s body such that the student could practice without strain. Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T. and one of the foremost teachers of restorative yoga, often refers to restorative yoga poses as "active relaxation." By supporting the body with props, restorative yoga alternately stimulates and relaxes the body to help us move toward balance.

Page 76 Page #2 HEAD & NECK Resolving Neck Tension DOUG KELLER Pulling ourselves up by our “neckstraps” is an unconscious, painful habit. The solution is surprisingly simple. When we carry ourselves with the head thrust forward, we create neck pain, shoul- der tension, even disc herniation and lower back problems. A reliable cue to re- mind ourselves how to shift the head back into a more stress-free position would do wonders for resolving these problems, but first we have to know what we’re up against. When it comes to keeping our head in the right place, posturally speaking, the neck is at something of a disadvantage. There are a number of forces at work that can easily pull the neck into misalignment, but only a few forces that maintain the delicate alignment of the head on the spine, allowing all the supporting muscles to work in harmony. Page #3 HEAD & NECK The problem begins with the large muscles that converge at the back of the neck and attach to the base of the skull. These include the muscles of the spine as well as those running from the top of the breastbone along the sides of the neck (the sternocleidomastoids) to the base of the head.

    Reconnect and Refuel With This Restorative Yoga Sequence Reconnect andTake Refuel this week's With free This class Restorative - Power Vinyasa Yoga toSequence Strengthen & Tone with Alba Avella Take the class Reconnect and Refuel With This Restorative Yoga Sequence By Allie Flavio This article has been read 5K+ times. Feelin’ the love! SHARE TWEET PIN 866 SHARES What is restorative yoga? From the exterior, the practice appears like people lying on big pillows, eyes closed, lounging away, and possibly snoring. And this is true – the practice can involve this. But what you can’t see from the outside, is the magic that is taking place on the inside. Magic – say what?! Yes, it’s true. Restorative yoga is a magical practice that, when practiced with complete surrender, can be an incredibly humbling and healing experience. So who should practice restorative yoga? The answer is simple – everyone. The practice benefits everyone – all ages, shapes, sizes, ethnicities, religions, genders, and possibly animals too (okay, that’s a bit far fetched). You get where I’m going though…. So if restorative yoga is SO magical, life-changing, and healing – why aren’t more people doing it? The answer is simple – we don’t allow ourselves. All too often, we approach our yoga practice from a yang/masculine perspective. We show up wanting to build heat, tone muscles, increase flexibility, and sweat. And this is okay, please keep doing this. But I want you to also focus on your yin/feminine side – the cooling, relaxing, softening aspects of your being. And the easiest way to do this within the yoga practice is .
