500 hr Teacher Training coming soon! Starts September 2011!!
CMY's 500 hour teacher training can be completed in less than one
year with work study opportunities in teaching classes and
workshops! This teacher training will focus on special populations
and an intensive study
of philosophy and meditation. |
 |
The CMY 200 and 500 hour
professional teacher training programs offer instruction in
classical Hatha and Iyengar style yoga. Students will learn how proper
alignment creates stability, strength & balance.
We will focus on the proper use of yoga props; to help the students practice with ease and
without stress or strain.
Through the process of yoga training we learn how to incorporate
yoga on the mat into the yoga of our daily life. We will learn how postures, meditation, and
breathing techniques are rooted in the moral principles.
CMY's Hatha yoga teaching training program is designed to
maximize a student’s potential as a yoga teacher while receiving
in-depth information and practice in asana, pranayama, and
meditation. We will be drawing from anatomy, physiology, traditional
yoga philosophy and psychology, to the modern knowledge of the body
and mind.
Our 500hr ADVANCED TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM is designed to enable
serious students to become inspired teachers and community leaders.
In this life changing opportunity, you will be inspired to continue
your personal practice by immersing yourself in the philosophies and
methods of yoga. Our program focuses on self study and introspection
and offers the classical teachings as they have been handed down for
centuries. Our vision is to inspire teachers in this timeless,
rewarding tradition. You will learn the art of teaching classes and
workshops that are therapeutic in nature as well as the more
advanced practices of Hatha Yoga. The 500 hour level (300 additional
hours after your 200 hour certificate) continues the teaching and
practice principles that we began in the 200 hour program. You will
dig deeper into yoga philosophy, meditation, pranayama as well as
asana and create a learning community of peers to study, reflect and
explore with.
In summary, our program is unique in its integration of all the
elements of yoga practice, which when combined will make your life
happier, healthier and more productive.
"Be the change you want to see in your life. "
I look forward to taking
this life changing journey with you!
Namaste,
Lucy

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
"Having participated in another yoga
teacher training a number of years ago, I can honestly say that the
CMY training is special in many ways. Lucy keeps the class small,
allowing for lots of personal attention and for deep bonds of
friendship to develop. She shares the training with many guest
teachers who not only offer their expertise on various aspects of
yoga, but they also impart their unique perspectives on teaching and
practice which serves to enrich the learning process. With her
wealth of knowledge and experience, Lucy offers gentle guidance and
encouragement, but she also sets high standards for her students,
assigning many to books to read, exams to be written and an ongoing
home practice journal. The classes are deeply embedded in yoga
philosophy and the students are always encouraged to take their
practice “off the mat” leading to much personal growth and
discovery. I feel incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to
participate in this training. For me it was more than a yoga teacher
training, it was a transformational experience."
Atta Kurzmann 2009
"In participating in the Central Mass
Yoga Teacher Training Program, I have brought my own practice to a
higher level than I ever thought possible. The instructors and guest
presenters keep the program up-to-date and diverse with their depth
of knowledge, insights, and passion of yoga and its application to
life. The support and caring of the other teachers-in-training makes
us more than just classmates. As we learn about yoga, we are
learning about ourselves; we laugh a lot (and sometimes cry)
together as friends. The program is a complete training from the
inside out and I feel confident now as a teacher of yoga to others."
-Sarah
Howe (March 2007)
"Going through the teacher training program at CMY has been a life
changing experience for me. When I began this journey, I expected
that my knowledge of yoga would increase substantially. What has
been an unexpected bonus is how much this process has opened my
heart and mind as well. I’ve gone from being a student adept at
postures and breathing techniques to a soon-to-be teacher with a
deeper understanding of what it means to practice yoga."
-Beth LaFlamme
"As “a woman of a certain age” whose experience with yoga was
mostly home-based, I didn’t quite know what to expect from teacher
training at CMY. But from our first class it was evident that Lucy
Wagner— CMY’s director—imbued the program with her wisdom and
passion for yoga. The learning environment she has created nurtures
and supports each of us—students of all ages, levels, and interests.
The program is extensive and encourages us to uncover our unique way
along the royal path."
-Janet Colantuono
"I am so grateful to have chosen CMY’s Teacher Training Program.
Through the program, I have come to know some truly incredible
people who have touched my life in ways that I cannot begin to
explain. The teaching staff is knowledgeable, experienced, and
express great compassion for others through their work. Lucy (CMY
Director) is radiant, welcoming, generous, and kind. She selflessly
shares her wisdom of yoga and love for the practice with her
students.
Through participation in CMY's Teacher Training Program, I was able
to gain an understanding of yoga that is extraordinarily fulfilling,
and I’ve learned how to share this with others through teaching.
This has been an incredibly rewarding journey for me and I look
forward to continuing onward."
-Kristen Benoit
