Shambhava School of Yoga
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
On-Line Preparation
1. Print or download a copy of the Level One Manual from the online library. | |
| If you print the manual, 3-hole punch it, and keep it in a 3-ring binder with 10 tab dividers. Bring the printed manual with you for the onsite training. If using an electronic version, you will need to bring your computer with you for the on-site training. |
2. Establish a regular asana practice. | |
| We suggest you begin a regular, daily practice 4 weeks before the on-site portion of the training. Your asana practice should evolve during this period, reflecting new understandings you gain from the readings, video library materials and study questions. Set a regular time (one that accommodates your schedule) to do practice every day.
|
3. Establish a regular meditation practice. | |
| Develop a daily meditation practice, ideally right after your asana practice. We recommend that you work towards sitting for 10-15 minutes per day using either the breath awareness or ham sah practices outlined in Chapter 10 or pranayama techniques described in Chapter 6. Sitting regularly before the on-site training will also help to loosen your hips and help you to be more comfortable during seated meditation after you arrive. |
4. Basic Anatomy | |
| It will be helpful to begin the on-site training with an understanding of some very basic concepts and structures of the body. Chapter 2 provides relevant information for your review prior to the on-site portion of the training, allowing you to focus on the alignment and biomechanical aspects of the postures while in class. Think of this chapter as a source for background information to be previewed before and referenced during the training. Generally speaking, you will not be tested on the material in this chapter, nor will the class lectures go over it in detail.
|
5. Required Reading | |
| You are expected to read the following sections from your manual and have a basic understanding of the material presented.
|
6. Listening and Cue Card Assignment: Learning Sanskrit Names | |
|
|
7. Ayurveda Dosha Questionnaire | |
| Complete the “Questionnaire to Determine Ayurvedic Constitution” in Chapter 7. This is another assignment you need to bring with you. |
