Extended Yoga Teacher Training in Sedona

7 Centers Yoga Arts, a classical yoga studio in Sedona, is offering a 30-day yoga teacher training program from June 8 to July 9 and October 4 to November 5. The 200-hour immersion includes an introduction to the sister sciences of ayurveda and Vedic astrology and is designed for those looking for a spiritual and transformative retreat.

Following the style of Rama Jyoti Vernon, author of Yoga: the Practice of Myth and Sacred Geometry, students engage in a detailed study of asana with emphasis on breath, creating relaxation and equanimity.

The first two weeks focus on the student's personal process of cleansing and moving through multiple layers of blocks and tension in their bodies. A daily schedule helps develop new patterns through dedicated practice so that the student learns how to be a role model for yogic principles. The second two weeks emphasize teaching skills and progressive teaching assignments in the Asana Lab. The school has conducted more than 60-month-long trainings led by Ruth Hartung with faculty and staff that attract a diverse group of international students.
