www.mariannewellsYoga.com


Are you prepared to journey deeper into your practice of Yoga? With the Marianne Wells Yoga Instructor Training Program, you will experience that opportunity. You will attain the knowledge of why we are doing what we are doing in each pose through a blend of Yogas, the teachings of their philosophy, and the study of their history. You will learn the applicable skills and gain the personal poise to teach and live your own unique Yoga.

As teachers, it is a necessity to know how to read your students, to know what they need, to know what's essential for them to learn. With the Marianne Wells Yoga Instructor Training Program, you will not only learn to see with your head but also your heart. You will find creative ways to think on your feet as you tailor a Yoga class to fulfill the needs of every student. One of the keys to a successful class is that we learn from each other. This is your opportunity to learn and grow.

Fourteen days of total immersion is time to learn and time to absorb. With the Marianne Wells Yoga Instructor Training Program, you will understand the fundamentals of the Sutras and how they apply to the postures. You will practice different forms of Pranayama and learn how it cleanses and strengthens the mind and body. You will share in times of silent meditation and experience a true state of stillness and inner calm. You will participate in workshops on
anatomy and physiology to gain the knowledge of what Yoga can do for the body. You will have the chance to partake in the Kriyas, a set of six purification exercises. You will touch on the Bhagavad-Gita, the Hindu scripture that provides the philosophical basis for Yoga. And you will have time for you.

Do you desire to do for others what Yoga has done for you? True happiness comes from the discovery of learning what you yearn to do and then doing it. With the Marianne Wells Yoga Instructor Training Program, you will learn to nurture your personal gifts in preparation to share them with your students and the world.
