Love Yoga? Take Teacher Training with Sana Vida

If you’ve come to this blog, chances are that you are in a yogic frame of mind. Are you just curious? Have a practice, whether it includes asana (postures) or meditation (dhyana)? Or are you simply moving towards balance and being more conscious in the present moment?

Perhaps you’re just broadening your horizons and learning a bit more about the yogic lifestyle. However you came across this post, if you’re seeking or simply pondering your life’s purpose, then Sana Vida Yoga Teacher Training is an excellent resource to consider and here’s why:

You will get to know yourself in ways you didn’t think were possible.

Participating in a yoga teacher training program is an incredibly eye-opening experience. Becoming a teacher is a humbling process. You’ll look back remembering how nervous you were when you had to get up in front of all the other trainees, and your teachers, to teach one single round of a sun salutation and by the end of the program, you’re teaching an entire sequence! To grow as people, we have to come outside of our comfort zones and a lot of self-reflection must take place.

At Sana Vida Teacher Training, students will also be learning the basics of Ayurveda, the sanskrit word for “science of life,” where they will learn how to identify their specific mind/body type (dosha) and make the best choices regarding diet, lifestyle, and nutrition. Understand why your energy levels are the way they are and find the balance your body needs for optimum health. Ayurveda is a most complete and personalized  system of holistic medicine, healthcare and maintenance for the whole  body, mind and spirit. Gina Caccavalla, founder of AyurYogaSpa, will be leading the way on all teachings of Ayurveda and has over 30 years of professional experience on the matter.

You will have a healthier mind, body and spirit than you did when you started.

Many people come to yoga in search of something greater. Whether it’s to get in shape, become more ‘flexi,’ heal an injury or any other reason, yoga will change you. It starts with the feeling of calmness you get after a practice that you take with you and eventually lasts longer. You notice your energy levels start to change, your way of thinking, the way you look at food and your respect for your body and mind. You begin to look at food as fuel and not just something to mindlessly stuff in your face when you’re having cravings. Your personal relationships will change. You’ll gain more patience. This is something that both yoga and Ayurveda will help you to understand; that the mind body and spirit really are all connected and you cannot heal one while ignoring another.
