Root
Real, lasting change requires consistency and repetition because the brain is malleable, its called neuro-plasticity. In your first month, I'll craft a personalized daily routine (sadhana) for you based on your dosha. Dosha is your unique mind-body type according to Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga. Your daily practice is a video and includes written daily tracker.

Center
The next area of focus is the process of going inward for self-study (svadhyaya) to discover your truest desires and that which stands in the way through journal prompts, mediation, and self-compassion practices. During this period of deep reflection, you'll assimilate, absorb, and eliminate long-held beliefs and patterns (samskaras). Includes a pdf of journal prompts.
Weeks 9-12
Rise
Commitment to your self-care routine and the discoveries you made during self-study has prepared you for the rising upward into the truest version of you and the life you had imagined (dharma). Now is the time to nurture, affirm, and reinforce the practices that keep your tree flourishing. A mini-workbook with manifestation practices and guided meditations (audio) support this part of the process.

What kind of yoga experience do I need?To get the most out of this training, its ideal if you have at least 3 months of a consistent (at least once a week) yoga practice. If you're unsure, let's connect and explore this together. Email sadiebarryoga@gmail.com.
-
Does this make me a certified yoga teacher?No. In the world of yoga, a 200hr certification is the foundational training to start teaching, however, you do not need to have a certification to start teaching. However, the foundational skills learned in a 200hr teacher training will prepare you in ways this training doesn't (ex: names of poses, how to teach the mechanics, etc). It will, however, teach you how to create a safe and supportive relational field (the container), identify how trauma shows up on the mat, use props for common modifications, tying recovery themes to yoga philosophy and more. At completion of this training, you will receive a certificate. Teachers who are already registered with the Yoga Alliance will receive 15 CE credits.

Do I have to have completed a basic (200hr) yoga teacher training before taking this one?No, however, having some foundational experience with yoga is helpful. The curriculum doesn't include how to teach the mechanics of yoga poses or how to write a sequence, etc. Additionally, you'll learn more than yoga poses. This training includes a number of somatic interventions and meditation. Note: A done-for-you recovery themed curriculum in written and video format will be provided as a part of the training so you can take the guesswork out of it (of course you have creative freedom, feel free to make your own).

How long is the training?It is held over a 3 day period.
