Soorya School of Yoga to offer Yoga Teacher Training at the Studio in Staunton

About this event

The Soorya School of Yoga in Staunton recently has been certified by Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour Registered Yoga School. The school will start the first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program on November 17, 2023.

Yoga teacher training does not commit you to teaching yoga classes. You may enroll in the training program simply to enhance your own learning.

The 200-hour YTT will take place one weekend a month for 10 months. Students will meet at the Studio in Staunton for about 20 hours over a weekend. The curriculum consists of assigned readings and practice sessions, focusing on Yoga philosophy, ethics and the practice of poses and sequences. In addition, a few field trips will be organized during the training period. Student assessments will include weekly reflections, monthly (1-page) papers, quizzes, practicums,

(teaching yoga classes) and a final exam.

What sets the Soorya School of Yoga apart is the depth with which yoga philosophy and poses will be taught as well as the role that nature and natural beauty play in our wellbeing. At each session, time will be devoted to learning more about appreciation of nature, natural beauty and wonders and their power over us.

The Studio in Staunton has been providing yoga classes since November 2015 for all levels of students, including beginners and kids, as well as rope wall classes and hot yoga. The Studio also offers workshops on Ayurvedic facials, nutrition, sound healing, Chakras, yoga and nature, and more.
