Yin Yoga with Biff Mithoefer - November 12-17 - another annual event - five days and nights at Villa Madonna - a wonderful retreat which yields 50 hours of Yin Teacher Training credits. No experience is necessary. Biff is a warm, poetry reciting teacher that helps you connect to your heart and soul as a teacher and a person. The theme this year: Story Telling - The Stories of our Lives. We all tell stories to ourselves and others and participate in the story of our life - where do they come from and are they helping us? It is a fun and moving workshop theme. Always great to be at Villa Madonna with other yogis!

Yoga Ink is a registered private training school in PEI for Yoga Teacher Training, both the foundational 200 hour course and the advanced 300 hour course. New 200 hour and 300 hour courses are beginning September 2017! Funding possibilities exist with the new status with student loans from banks and perhaps from Skills PEI.
The foundations course is eclectic and comprehensive delving into many yoga topics with detail such as asana, meditation, pranayama, how to design classes, how to demonstrate, speak, teach! And many, many other topics are introduced and studied including philosophy, the Bhagavadgita, the Sutras of Patanjali, ethics, and lifestyle. A qualified guest instructor teaches basic anatomy.
Many styles of yoga are introduced to see how they vary in action but are similar in intent. Students get to "try on" Yin, Astanga, Kundalini, Power, Hot, and Restorative and participate via dvds the styles of some of today's top teachers i other styles.
Students teach each other almost every weekend getting comfortable with public speaking, "teaching" vs. "leading" classes, learning to see the way the energy moves in a posture, and probably the most fun - how to assist and how to adjust students in postures.
The course is eight weekends, usually they begin in September and end in the spring.
The advanced 300 hour program is thirteen weekends and has a yoga therapy bend to it. Certified teachers attending bring with them their style and experiences which help round out the course. Each weekend we meet students teach each other with classes for people with special needs (such as movement disorders, scoliosis), classes that target specific body parts, classes that spark their interest (such as kids yoga, Yoga for Compassion Fatigue). In addition there are great books to read and discuss, yoga topics to explore deeply, lifestyles choices to try on, and much much more!
Yoga Ink is recognized by Yoga Alliance (USA) as a registered Yoga School for 200 hour and 300 hour courses and Ruth Richman is recognized by them as a E-RYT 500 (experienced registered yoga teacher 500 hours level, their highest level of recognition).
