The Experience

Are you ready to go deeper with Yoga? Are you currently teaching, and interested in taking your teaching to a more powerful and effective level? Already graduated from a teacher training and seeking to further your education? Looking for a deep and challenging immersion into yoga philosophy and technique?

Devoted to growth and learning, we`ve innovated a new approach to the timeless power of yoga - our Level II teacher training modules are geared toward the evolution of the understanding, practice and teaching of yoga, and are specifically designed to benefit those for whom yoga is already a part of life.

Our modules intelligently synthesize a blend of potent components - master teachers; focused, effective, and cutting edge teaching methodologies and learning environment; organic living foods; and the spiritual and natural beauty of Bali - to create a magical gestalt of experience. Each Level II training module also features a specific theme relevant to the modern yogi aspiring to greater joy in their life in a contemporary world, illustrated by a rotating team of master teachers. We highlight and explore the theme for each module through philosophy study, physical practice, and learning how to inspire those who come to us. Trainees can artfully create their own intermediate yoga education and training by selecting which modules and themes they are interested in exploring -each one unique and never to be repeated. This allows the advanced practitioner to optimize their deeper training according to interests and strengths.

Themes and faculty schedules are included below. Each of the 14-day Level II modules stands alone as a complete experience (100 CEUs), and any three of them may be combined to meet the requirements for the Yoga Alliance 500RYT training (prerequisites apply). Daniel Aaron, E-RYT 500, guides each module and orchestrates the curriculum along with guest gurus in the styles of Astanga, Iyengar, Jivamukti and more.

Important Note - This training is not for everyone!

There are prerequisites of yoga experience for these Level II modules along though more important is an attitude of genuine desire to immerse yourself in this intensive program, commitment to be present and participate to the best of your ability in all classes, an eagerness for challenge and a willingness to venture beyond your comfort zone. These attributes are absolutely necessary. In other words, if you`re only interested in the certification, a leisurely yoga retreat or holiday, this training is not for you.

It is probable that after this training your life will not be the same. Seen from new heights, previous terrain may look or feel completely different. The Radiantly Alive Yoga Teacher Trainings are ideal for those who wish to create something new, to fly higher.

Module Focus - Sequencing

Daniel Aaron, Founder Radiantly Live Yoga:

While defining the success or quality of our lives raises many interesting questions, most of us have some evaluative sense of the degree to which we are creating our lives how we want. And while we apprehend our whole life intuitively, we could also break it down into individual 'now' moments. Similarly, we grasp when a yoga class is great, or satisfying in some deep way. And while there are many components that make up the whole of that classes effectiveness, the sequential development of the asana is one of the most important. One definition for Vinyasa Krama is to place something in a special way. An asana class, like life, can be crafted for specific effects depending on our desired outcome. This is the art of sequencing.

In this Level II training, we will draw upon many different aspects of modern yoga to deepen our understanding of asana, sequencing and life. With a primary goal of developing sequencing as teachers, we will additionally utilize the dynamic teaching and growth field of our learning community to examine and improve all aspects of our teaching and practice.

Edward Clark, Founder Tripsichore Yoga:

Appropriate sequencing is one of the hallmarks of a good class and is something that requires logic and imagination. The yoga teacher creates the trajectory of the class with consideration given to physical and philosophical development. They evaluate the aptitude of their students and determine the amount of time that can be spent working on various techniques, postures and concentrative aims. Good teachers take into account the structure of the class from beginning to end as well as what goes into its smaller segments. They find ways to put forth their own knowledge in a way that is unique to them. This seems obvious, yet, in practise, too often teachers resort to mundane solutions – they present rote sequences and parrot the teachings of others.

This Level II Module will develop the participants' ability to both present and devise sequences. The course will investigate the construction of a Tripsichore class as well looking at how to design logical and innovative sequences.
The course will investigate:

Varieties of ways to teach inversions/forward bends/twists
Methods for teaching back bends to beginners
How a teacher can give instruction in something they don't personally do well
Deep strategies in sequencing:

How is the breathing affected and developed?
What are the concentrative aims?
What are accommodations for students' individual anatomy/injury/problems?

Movement versus stillness
Ease versus effort
What does on in a posture: Go deeper? Find stillness? Breathe evenly?

A curious anomaly: it is easy to devise difficult variations of postures, but it is hard to find innovative basic ones.

Bali

The island of the gods, Bali and her people is yoga instructor

a culture Yoga International magazine describes as ‘living yoga.' Spirituality, harmony with nature, peacefulness - these elements embody the Balinese way of life. Ubud, an artist's Mecca, is the cultural heart of Bali.
