Yoga Alliance 200hr - Registered School Programs in NH & ME
The program meets the current guidelines of the Yoga Alliance* for course content and scope allowing students who successfully complete the training program to register with the Yoga Alliance for RYT (registered yoga teacher) recognition in Hatha Yoga.
Joyce Kendall E-RYT500, Director, is an Anusara-Inspired™ Yoga instructor offering training that expands beyond the 8-limb path and and focuses on principles of alignment and teaching methodology inspired by Anusara Yoga. In addition Joyce has studied various forms of Tantric philosophy including Life-enhancing Tantric teachings, Kasmir Saivism, Svantantra and the Shiva Sutras, all of these will be explored to varying degrees. 
While the focus of the training is to prepare students to teach yoga, the training program is also suitable for any yoga practitioner wishing to deepen their own practice in skill and knowledge across all areas of the yogic path, even if they do not wish to teach.
The full course curriculum is included below.
Program Highlights
The focus of the program is to provide each participant with:
• A strong foundation in the 8 limbs of yoga from which they can deepen their own personal practice and prepare to share their experience with others.
• The tools and experience to instruct others in the art of yoga with a high skill level in all 8 limbs with an emphasis on joyful and safe instruction.
• Hatha Yoga Alignment principles, philosophy and teaching methodology, inspired by Anusara Yoga.
• The development of the instructors' unique gifts and style of teaching that also includes the use of a heart felt theme or philosophical teaching to each class.
• Provide the instructors with a 200 hr or more program that exceeds the standards of the Yoga Alliance so upon satisfactory completion they are eligible for registration with the alliance.
