UPCOMING YOGA TEACHER TRAINING’S

All Yoga Teacher Trainings are held at our Kernersville Yoga Teacher Training Registered Yoga Alliance Full-Time School location (908 Tulane Dr Kernersville, NC 27284) and also Asheville, NC,

Look no further Ganesha’s is your one stop for Yoga Teacher Training. If you can’t find a program here that fits your schedule you will not find it anywhere else.

We offer a variety of RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Trainings: 15-Day Intensive Yoga Immersions, 9 month Weekend Programs (one weekend per month), 4 month Fast Track Training, and Independent Study (you schedule classes with trainer). We are a full-time yoga school unlike most programs out there. No need waiting until next year get started today!

Beginning a Yoga Teacher Training can sometimes be scary or be a very anxiety-provoking situation whether it be time constraints, finances, self doubt, etc. Our training is like no other. If time is an issue and you can’t commit to a weekend, weeknight, or immersion then you are a excellent candidate for our Independent Study. If finances are a challenge try our weekend programs that have payment plans available. If you are overridden with anxiety and self doubt, Ganesha’s offers a warm and supportive environment that is about building people up and not tearing them down. Consequently, when you come to training we want you to feel relaxed and be in a relaxed and supportive learning environment.

If anybody understands about going through Immersions or Year Long Programs it is us. We have been there ourselves!

If you can’t find something here that fits your schedule call us at 336-655-3263 and we will design something specifically to meet your training needs.

ALL YOGA TEACHER TRAININGS ARE NOT ALIKE…OUR WORLD CLASS PROGRAM IS LIKE NO OTHER

When searching for a Yoga Teacher Training, one needs to look at what it offers…..

Q: Is the Teacher Training Program being offered a Registered Yoga Alliance School?

A: A Registered Yoga Alliance School has to adhere to strict guidelines to become registered. All of the Teachers at the school have to meet the Requirements of the Yoga Alliance in order to be listed as Faculty at the school. The Yoga Alliance is the most recognized organization throughout the United States of America. Therefore, it is more often than not Studios and gyms want a Registered Yoga Alliance School Graduate to join there team. In addition, many insurance companies want to see that yoga teachers have graduated from a Yoga Alliance Registered School. Ganesha’s Yoga and Wellness is glad to report we are a Yoga Alliance Registered School.

Q: What is different or special about Ganesha’s Yoga and Wellness’ Yoga Teacher Program vs. all the others which are offered throughout the United States?

A: Moreover, search as you may, but we do not know of any other school where you can put your application in today and be in school the next day. We are the the only studio we know of in the world which offers the student this amazing option.

Q: What will I receive on Graduation Day?

A: First, we throw a Graduation like no other school. We ask you to invite your family and friends to your Big Day. Awards are handed out and Diploma’s which are suitable for framing are given out together with a referral letter if you completed a internship. Once you have your Diploma in hand it is time to let the party begin.

Q: What do I do after Graduation?

A: You become part of our Alumni. As a member of our Alumni we help you get Registered with the Yoga Alliance. You will be invited to exclusive Alumni events and share in Alumni discounts at our studios.

Our 200 hour Yoga Alliance approved program is an intensive study course for those wanting to deepen their understanding of yoga, as well as prepare students to teach and practice safely, successfully, and compassionately. We will cover all the physical, philosophical and scientific aspects of yoga in our training.

We aim to break free of any dogma, ritual or sectarian approach by introducing many styles of yoga: Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Chair, and Beginner Yoga are the major styles covered, while we also explore Kundalini, Power Yoga, Hot Yoga, and more.

Your yoga practice will reach new heights as you become more knowledgeable and compassionate. All classes are held in either Kernersville, or Asheville, NC and each class is limited to 5-15 students. There are three options to complete your training; a weekly class of four hours, a once monthly all-weekend training, and a 15- day immersion training . The credentials you receive after successfully completing your study will serve as a testament to the knowledge and competency you have attained through your training. You will receive a certificate suitable for framing so you can proudly display it.

Yoga teachers build strength through dedication and discipline, constantly challenging themselves and their students. Do you have what it takes to inspire others to be their best? If so, then becoming a yoga instructor maybe for you.

What’s the difference between the 15-Day Intense Training Immersion and 12

month program?

The difference between the immersion and the longer weekend/weeknight program is based on preference and scheduling. They are identical curriculum. Some people really thrive in the immersion atmosphere (living, eating, breathing yoga for 15-days) and some want to process slower. In the longer program, you might have more time to digest and assimilate the information in your daily life and practice. Whereas for the immersion, you get all the information in a concentrated amount of time and then we set you free to navigate the journey of assimilation and integration.

It is structured in such a way for all students to be successful. The decision to take the 15-day Intensive or 12-month is totally up to you.
