“Claire was terrific in teaching our last class today.  It was really great being a part of [The American Yoga Acdemy's Teacher Training] course.  It was superb.”

~Joyce Brown

 

 For me, [The American Yoga Academy Teacher Training Course] has been a wonderful journey of self-discovery which has opened another chapter in my life…I appreciate all that was brought to the classes, and for the inspiration and creativity that unfolded before us.  Yesterday and today, I spent time in reflection of everything we have learned and realized just how much Claire and our other instructors gave us.  This experience has helped me beyond what I am even capable of understanding

now.”

What is different about this yoga teacher training?

This teacher training is more than a course.  It is an experience.  You will learn more than just how to teach a Hatha yoga class.  You will learn about living yoga on and off the mat, as well as teaching students how to live yoga on and off the mat.  Claire encourages students to be creative.  The American Yoga Academy provides a wonderful template for learning and then encourages the individual student’s own creativity to flow.

 

The training also teaches students how to do workshops and lectures on yoga.  Claire is a professor of Asian Studies teaching a 3-credit course called Zen and Yoga: the Art of Living at Seton Hall University, one of the most popular courses on campus.  This class is also open to all the yoga teachers in training.  It is an incredible experience.
