August 9-16, 2008



Greetings!

Amazing Yoga invites you to Maya Tulum Resort, located on the beautiful Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Maya Tulum is a seaside retreat that offers amazing serenity, awe-inspiring scenery, and a true connection with the Mayan past. Located 2 hours south of Cancun and 4 hours north of Belize, it is everything wonderful about the Mexican Caribbean.  Come dedicate 7 days to your health and well-being. Enjoy a full week of strong Power Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training.  Dwelling in beauty away from our daily responsibilities and stresses is an opportunity to recharge or to go deep within. Our Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training will allow you the framework, but also the freedom, to explore within yourself.

This is not your ordinary training. This is an opportunity to make real transformative change happen. We have experienced this process and have facilitated it with many students. We invite you also to join a group of committed students for some intense time to reflect and learn how the power of yoga can facilitate change for you. If you live in the area, it’s a great idea to take at least a couple of classes from us to see whether you jive with our teaching style.  If you live outside of Pittsburgh, please call or email us, we would love to answer any questions you may have.  Other than that, you just need to bring an open mind and an adventurous spirit.  Expect to have an in-depth yoga experience, which is the place yoga knowledge originates. This training is not just about presenting and memorizing information. This is an exclusive opportunity for transformative growth. You will hone the skills necessary towards sharing your practice with others! At the end of the training you will feel Amazing, strong, open, peaceful, and calm. We look forward to meeting you. Feel free to approach us anytime, email info@amazingyoga.net, or call the Shadyside studio at 412-661-1525.

Sincerely,
Karen and Sean Conley

About the Training: This training is an incredible way to become familiar with vinyasa yoga.  This training will serve as the catalyst to becoming an empowering yoga teacher.  It will give you the foundation that you can build upon with future Amazing Yoga trainings, intensives, and other AY programs.

Teaching is simply sharing the knowledge of experience. Our goal as teachers is to cultivate an understanding of yoga and attempt to live that understanding. Let the teaching be our life. Teaching yoga goes beyond the yoga classroom. This training is not about simply parroting information. This training does not support a rigid or dogmatic expression of yoga. This teacher training will transform your life and the lives of others. You will develop the skills to successfully lead a dynamic power vinyasa class. We will cover the fundamental postures and how to sequence the asanas in a fluid manner. Also, we will discuss anatomy/physiology and how it relates to postures and alignment. This training is for aspiring and experienced teachers or students who want to deepen their practice.  It is a system of yoga that is so foundationally solid that no matter what else you may go on to study or teach, you will have a solid blueprint from which to work.

"The Amazing Yoga Teacher Training Program transformed my dream of becoming a yoga teacher into reality. The training’s accessible curriculum provided me with skills necessary to be both confident and effective in the classroom, as well as enriched my personal practice. Whether your goal is to share your love of Power Vinyasa Yoga with others or simply deepen your own understanding of asana, this course is the next logical step on your yogic journey."

More Testimonials

Why should Amazing Yoga be your yoga school of choice?:  Because we believe our teacher training program is one of the most comprehensive and proven training systems available.  It is a program that will empower you not just in your teaching but also in how you choose to live.  It is not an opportunity to learn traditional yoga philosophy and history. It is an opportunity to learn how to meld the perfect blend of technical knowledge and radiant spirituality into your teaching style. The focus will be on all aspects of teaching and living the principles of yoga within a contemporary context and language. It is an exclusive opportunity to grow, connect, and contribute to your overall growth as a teacher and/or as a person.  The elements that make up Amazing Yoga were inspired by Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga. Karen and Sean have trained extensively with Baron Baptiste over the past 6 years.  Baron Baptiste’s style is infused by the hatha yoga teachings of Krishnamacharya and his students Iyengar and Desikachar.  Baron’s methods have inspired our teaching and we are very grateful for his generosity.
