Stay Connected with Yoga, Yoga Sculpting Workouts & Myofscial Release Classes

Fight for My Soul Yoga School 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is open to everyone, every body, every religion, every belief, every orientation, every expression of what it means to be human. This course will be more than just acquiring knowledge, it will be a full immersion into the art, science, and practice of Yoga. To truly understand Yoga, one must experience it. Whether your intention is to teach yoga or simply deepen your personal practice.

 

This program is the start of something bigger, brighter, and more fascinating than anything that has come before. I have invited a few of my closest Friends, Co-workers, Fellow Yogis, Karate Instructors, Innovators, Game Changers, and some of the most amazing souls to bring their knowledge, wisdom, and love to this teaching.

 

This training will immerse you in the practice and theory of this ancient science; encouraging you to develop a connection with mind, body, and spirit while facilitating personal growth and transformation. Through in-depth exploration and practice, you will leave the program with a stronger foundation in yoga instruction.

 

In this program, there will be topics and conversations that are tough but important to hear. There will be discussions on racism, sex & sexuality, religion, addiction, depression, current and past societal struggles, cultural appropriation, ethical misconduct and so much more. You will hear swear words and prayer words and witness your stories and the stories of others who have survived or may be currently living with addiction, abuse, surgeries, loss, and sickness. You will hear the opinions of those who may have very different political, social, or spiritual viewpoints than yours. You will be challenged, intrigued, exhilarated, and open to all of humanity and what it means to be human. We are ready, how about you?

 

Yoga today is commonly recognized by asanas (physical postures). It’s through the practice of these postures that we learn to focus our awareness inwards (Pratyahara) and develop better concentration (dharana), which prepares us for meditation (Dhyana). In the meantime, we develop muscular strength, flexibility, and balance, and we stimulate the relaxation response which helps the endocrine and immune systems. Through asana practice, we begin creating a deeper awareness of the way our body moves and feels; this awareness eventually travels into other aspects of our lives. With time and practice, Yoga helps us become more aware of our thoughts and emotions, more aware of who we are and how we express ourselves. As our focus and concentration improve, we can be more present in our lives, find peace and clarity in the mind, and let go of mental distractions like stress, worry, anxiety, frustration, and fear.

 

This program meets Yoga Alliance standards for a 200-hour teacher training program. There will be a massive amount of absolutely incredible information that easily exceeds the hours of the course but is here for all of us to learn, share and evolve with.
