Michelle Van Lare Yoga School - Yoga Alliance Registered
Hatha Vinyasa Y O G A  Teacher Training
​200 Hour Program Certification

A blend of Eastern Hatha Yoga
​and Contemporary Vinyasa Flow

I designed this curriculum with a foundation in the
modern wisdom of Hatha Yoga as taught by my
teachers in India and Nepal, while incorporating the
innovative aspects of my western teachers to
intelligently and gracefully balance the energies
of the body.
​
Through sophisticated sequencing of postures and attention to breath,
we may refine our health.   Harmonizing the mind and intellect
with meditation, the complete practice results in the spiritual
experience of elevating our consciousness to higher states of awareness.

30 Hour Humanities Details

​An in-depth study of these essential components of Yoga for contemporary life & practice:

Ethics

Take  ethics beyond how we currently define our practice and apply them to our present habits and perspectives to bring more harmony, compassion, and balance into our lives as well as into our teachings and personal Yoga and morality practices.

History

Explore yogic roots and spiritual approaches that have evolved from the cultural traditions of Hindu, Buddhist & Jaina Yoga and the 6 branches:  Bhakti, Hatha, Jñana, Karma, Raja and Tantra, and how each path offers unique methods to appeal to each individual.

Philosophy

​Study the philosophical discoveries of the sages  and the ideas of contemporary schools for a clearer understanding of how Yoga has been experienced over the centuries and expand them into your own ​meditative practices ​for self-reflection.
In this 30 Hour Yoga Humanities Module, we go into the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of Yoga through meditation and theoretical practices to uplift ourselves and each other with inclusiveness on our unique paths for the benefit of our community, our global family and environment. 

Participants may choose this module to expand their own personal practice, or for aspiring teachers for credits toward a 200 or 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Certification. 

​300 Hour Aspirants will be required to read an additional text (not included) and write an essay.  This module is in accordance with the Humanities segment of the Yoga Alliance training standards.
