Frequently Asked Questions…
 

Q: What if I can't stand on my head/do a handstand/do anything else you think yoga teachers should be able to do? Can I still teach yoga?


A: Yes, you can teach things you can't do. But a more likely scenario is that your personal physical, mental and emotional growth through this program will prepare you to do things you never knew were possible- both on and off the mat! You will be ready to try new things, you will be stronger both in your physical body and in your mind!


Q: What if I don't want to teach but I just really LOVE yoga?
 

A: Perfect! I will not chase you down if you are not teaching yoga after you complete this program!! This program is a wonderful chance to deepen your own study of yoga and of yourself. There are very few programs in our area that offer this in-depth of a program in which to study yoga, whether you want to teach it or not.


Q: What if I can't come up with $2400 for the program by November 11?
A: No problem. You can pay in 4 payments of $625 or 8 payments of $325 spaced evenly over the duration of the program.
 

Testimonials…
“I loved my yoga teacher training with Joy at Rising Spirit Yoga. It was comprehensive and in-depth. I walked away with a greater knowledge of yoga asana, philosophy, and myself. This is a perfect training for those looking to teach yoga or deepen their personal practice.” Carolyn S., North Haverhill, NH


“Joy is the best yoga instructor that I’ve met. She makes individual asana movements flow gracefully, guides students just enough to safely explore and learn, and brings depth and intention to every class. While my original teacher training goal was to simply instruct yoga, I came away from the program with so much more: new friends, new perspectives on myself and the world, and a much deeper understanding of yoga than I expected. I’m a better teacher and person from having taken this course.” Aaron P., Littleton, NH


“As an older yogi with yoga teaching in my background I enrolled in the teacher training program thinking I should finally become a certified teacher. I thought I knew most of the necessary information to teach but Joy’s program enriched my life in so many ways. Her calm and generous nature along with her wonderful teaching skills became such a great lesson for me. I saw such growth in every member of our class.” Deborah O., Groton, VT
