Orlando Yoga Teacher's Training Classes

The easiest way to approach any learning endeavor is through the teaching path. The teaching path allows a depth of understanding that is not available through the student’s path, which is a comfortable and passive way of learning that, by nature, cannot lead very far.

The teaching path pushes and propels aspiring teachers to go deeper, to do research, to be flexible, humble, and open to the unexpected. When dealing with people, there is ceaseless moving and changing of the environment, which demands constant awareness, knowledge, and creativity. Although these qualities are available through regular Yoga practice, the Yoga teacher will draw on them more repeatedly and, consequently, he/she will go deeper into his or her own nature to perceive imminent changes in the class. Awareness, knowledge and creativity will then be developed to a higher degree of manifestation causing a deeper inner transformation. Ultimately, the outcome is a profound wisdom that naturally emerges from the challenges and rewards from teaching.

Although technique is important, teaching Yoga is not about technique, it is mainly about inner transformation.

The Yogamatrix Teacher Training Program offers two Programs, the 200 hrs and the Advanced Program - 500 hrs, based on yoga practice, philosophy and ethical lifestyle.

These Programs are designed for those who want to become a Certified Yoga teacher or those who seek to deepen their knowledge and practice of yoga. These unique programs consist of Hatha-Yoga and the theory underlying its practice: Raja-Yoga and Jnana-Yoga.

Nationally recognized by “Yoga Alliance”, the Teacher Training offered by Yogamatrix Studio is taught by Yoga Master Edely Wallace. Please CLICK HERE for Edely’s bio .
