SUMMARY:300 Hour Core Module: Advanced Philosophy & Contemplative Practices
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Philosophy & Contemplative Practices with Europa “Ro” Grace \n30 HOURS (26 IN CLASS + 4 INDEPENDENT) \nHow do we find refuge and wise action in times of division and crisis? An authentic path of liberation requires honest engagement of our full selves\, including the unexamined parts. The wisdom teachings of Yoga and Buddhism offer time tested guidance to awaken our belonging\, freedom and truth of who we are. This module focuses on the liberatory study of yoga philosophy\, including Buddhism\, Tantra\, Vedanta and Samkhya Philosophy. Develop a deeper understanding and reverence for the roots of yoga to better incorporate these principles into daily life and your teaching. The central texts studied in this course are Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra\, the Bhagavad Gita\, and the Prajna Paramita Hridaya Sutra (The Perfection of Wisdom Heart Sutra). \nThis course is a deep investigation of the origins of yoga as a framework for a way of life that moves us towards collective liberation. We will unpack the teachings of ethics and social action that are at the core of many of the practices we know and love. Through dialogue and practice we move to embody the concepts of discipline and intention as they relate to our yoga practice and how we engage in the world. There will be one day of deep meditation and contemplation practice. \nThe course includes lecture and discussion\, journaling\, chanting\, practice teaching\, meditation practice\, short reading and writing assignments. \nRequired Reading:  \n1.

SUMMARY:300 Hour Core Module: Advanced Asana Practice (Summer 2026)
DESCRIPTION:32 HOURS IN-PERSON with Martin Scott \nAll great yoga teaching blossoms out of the lived and embodied experience of the teacher’s own practice of yoga. In this training\, you will have the opportunity to deepen your own personal practice. You’ll learn more complex poses by deconstructing them into foundational asana and then rebuilding them. Through this method\, you will learn to feel steady\, confident and safe when practicing new\, more challenging poses. \nWe’ll also investigate what an “Advanced Practice” looks and feels like\, placing significant emphasis on self-inquiry and attention to detail\, rather than simply focusing on taking complicated shapes. You’ll learn personal modifications and self-adjustments that are appropriate for your physical and emotional state\, and a more sophisticated use of yoga props. All of these tools will translate into making you a stronger\, more aware teacher. \nThis training is in-person and consists of three weeks of morning practice on Mondays\, Tuesdays\, Thursdays and Fridays.  \nRequired Reading: \nAnatomy of Hatha Yoga by H.
