What is Power Alignment Yoga™?
A
recurring complaint about Power Yoga is the lack of proper alignment.
Since Iyengar Yoga is considered the authority on precision and
alignment in Yoga, I created and developed Power Alignment Yoga™ which
is a synergistic blend of Power Yoga and Iyengar Yoga. Power Alignment
Yoga™ is a rigorous, flowing, physical practice that incorporates
Iyengar Yoga alignment principles and breath work, with a big dose of
spirituality to align body, breath, mind and spirit. This amazing blend
of Iyengar Yoga and Power Yoga invigorates the body, focuses the mind,
and expands the spirit.

you want to empower your life, and the lives of through Power yoga?
Have you experienced transformation in Power Yoga and would like to
bring that experience to others? Join an amazing group of aspiring yoga
teachers and students who are ready to move deeper into themselves and
their own power. In Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training you will tap
into your internal power, connect with your spirit, and learn to become
a dynamic and intuitive yoga teacher.
Although you may have a
gifted personal practice, guiding a room full of students through a
powerful yoga practice with confidence is quite different than
practicing yourself. Mastering the ability to communicate and connect
with your students is a crucial part of being an effective teacher.
The
goal of Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training is to teach you how to
become a dynamic teacher, while at the same time, giving you an
opportunity to explore and discover the power within yourself, both as
a teacher and as an individual. Our practical training program focuses
on how to TEACH yoga, not just the poses.
Our
service as teachers is to improve the quality of peoples lives and
leave our students in a better place, both mentally and physically. To
achieve this requires a deep understanding of how the body works beyond
the superficial level. From a modern physiology and functional anatomy
perspective, Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training provides cutting
edge techniques such as anatomy study, Iyengar Yoga Principles, video
review, posture specific workshops, and more, for a comprehensive
experience. Having a strong understanding of the way the body functions
allows teachers to better understand why postures work the way they do
and why the series follows a particular sequence. This allows our
teachers to effectively give firm and safe hands-on physical
adjustments when required.
Power
Alignment Yoga™ is an RYS® Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance®. All graduates of Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training will be eligible for registration (RYT®) with Yoga Alliance® at the 200 Hour Level.

Prerequisites for Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training:
The
primary prerequisite is interest in learning the Power Alignment Yoga™
approach to teaching Hatha Yoga. It is suggested that students
unfamiliar with Power Alignment Yoga™ take Power Alignment Yoga™
classes. A complete schedule of classes can be found on the SCHEDULE page.
Students
do not need to be experts in any aspect of Yoga, but they do need to
have a well-established Hatha Yoga practice that has been consistent
for at least six months. **
Students should have a love of Yoga and a strong desire to pass that love of Yoga on to others.
Students should be in good physical and mental health (minor injuries/illness may be accommodated).
A letter of recommendation from a Yoga Alliance® Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) is required with application.
**In order to prepare for the Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training program, students
need to have had a daily personal yoga practice for an extended period
of time. We recommend at least an hour of Power yoga every day for six
months before the start of the training. During the training, we will
be practicing yoga for approximately three hours each day. This can be
physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. Physical fitness
acquired through other disciplines does not necessarily provide
sufficient preparation. We ask that students have a strong personal
Power yoga practice to ensure they will be prepared for the high level
of activity and the heightened level of energy produced in the body by
this intense daily practice of asana and pranayama.
History of Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training:
Videos featuring Patricia Walden and Rodney Yee were my introduction to yoga. I loved the precise alignment and attention to detail the videos emphasized but since I was living in the New Mexico desert at that time and no Iyengar instructors were available I began practicing Power Yoga. I enjoyed the strength building and sweating of Power Yoga but I still yearned for alignment training; I extensively studied Power Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, and Hot Yoga and when my husband and I moved to Florida in 2000, I completed a 1,000-hour, Iyengar based, yoga teacher training. Through my love of Power Yoga and Iyengar Yoga, I created, developed, and have held the trademark on Power Alignment Yoga™ since 2004. Through the encouragement of students, mentors, friends and family, I created the Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training program in 2007. Power Alignment Yoga™ Teacher Training Program (RYS®) is registered with Yoga Alliance® at the 200 hour level.
