What will I learn?

• History and philosophy of Yoga
• Asana and it’s physical and energetic alignment
• Pranayama and the subtle energy body
• Meditation and mindfulness
• Anatomy for Yoga
• Guidance for prenatal and special populations
• Voice and language skills
• Sequencing, lesson planning and the business of Yoga
• Conscious communication and the art of listening
• A whole lot about yourself

Who are the teachers?

The guides on this journey are Jen Irwin, Ann Russell, Rita Trieger and Lisa Gifford along with expert guest teachers and visits from our house teachers. Trainees in our program are offered volunteer mentors to benefit from their experience at Dew and our prior training programs.

Is this for me?
