 Our next Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training program will begin in September of 2007 and finish in February, 2008. This 200hr. certification is routed in a fundamental love for yoga practice. Directed by Lea Kraemer with Sujata Ringawa and Dr. Marcel Ringawa, this training encompasses a total approach to yoga including self-investigation, or contemplation, pranayama, or attunement to breath for inner rhythm, and self-knowledge, or meditation. Learn the skills to teach a joyful and intelligent Vinyasa Yoga class. Live a non-violent crusade of compassion.
Classically Oriented Approach: Topics explored in-depth:
- Yogic Lifestyle including but not limited to thought, diet, sleep, environment, relationships and inspiring a personal practice;
- History and Philosophy of Yoga in its relevancy to our own lives;
- Asana Alignment and Benefits to the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies;
- Understanding Vinyasa Sequences for health, healing and vitality;
- Hands-On Postural Enhancements from light to strong touch in honor of the energy and breath of each student;
- Constructing a Vinyasa Flow to challenge and motivate learning through delight;
- Holistic Anatomy from the bones and muscles to the whole human being;
- Pranayama and Meditation for a blissful reality.
Polish your practice. Become a professional yoga teacher through personal study, guidance and practicum teaching throughout the six month course.

A Deeper View of Vinyasa Yoga:
Vinyasa is a flow, the movement between actions. Vinyasa
Yoga moves dynamically from asana to asana with constant
attention to breath. In this way Yogis research the flow
of life, and that which appears, is sustained, and re-dissolves
back into the universe (i.e. the human body). Learn to teach
through inner and outer alignment with an emphasis on balance,
power, fluidity and flexibility. An open heart allows the
beauty of each asana to be experienced from within as well
as from without. A regular Vinyasa practice frees the body
of impurities like stiffness and tension and leaves the
mind clear and relaxed. Through teaching yogic breath your
students will come to know their minds more closely, and
often realize a desire to know the Self more deeply.
Course Requirements:
Homework is given each weekend. Teachers in Training take a minimum of two classes a week during the certification and required classes are included in the course fee. A written exam will be given out two weeks prior to the last session and is due within 30 days. In keeping with our tradition at PRANA MANDIR, the physical exam is a One-Day Retreat offered on the last day of the training by all teachers in training. The proceeds from this day go to a charity pre-selected by the teachers in training. Graduation is dependent upon satisfactory completion of all course requirements and is determined on an individual basis.

FACULTY:
Sujata Ringawa
is a certified Anusara Yoga Teacher, and has been teaching
Anusara Yoga for the past seven years in classes, retreats
and health spas in the U.S.A. and in Europe. She has studied
 under
the guidance of John Friend, the founder of Anusara Yoga.
Sujata’s dynamic teaching style playfully brings her
spontaneous sense of joy and delight and her love of exploration
together with a deep appreciation for the philosophy and
study of yoga. Her enthusiastic, light-hearted approach
inspires students to move out of their limited perceptions
of what they are capable of, and express their unique greatness
in each pose.
Sujata has been teaching hatha yoga and meditation since
1985 to diverse groups of all ages, and was on the faculty
of the Hatha Yoga Department at an international meditation
ashram retreat site from 1999-2005.
A former choreographer and dancer, she taught modern dance,
creative movement, and improvisational movement and theatre
at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass. and
in her private studio in Northampton, Mass.
Her heartfelt belief is that asana practice is a wonderful
dance of the body, mind and spirit, each asana is a gateway
that opens us to our inner goodness and beauty, and practicing
asana with this awareness naturally allows us to express
our divine nature.
