These are recent photos of our classes in Tijuana. I would like to thank all the beautiful students who have participated. Muchas Gracias to our Teacher Trainees; Adriana, Cecilia, Criselda, Dario, Loreta, and Yvonne. Please hover over the lower edge of the photos for a caption.
Whether you are wanting to deepen your current understanding of yoga or become a teacher, you may want to consider taking this teacher training.
In this course we will study and compare 3 major styles that have come from Krishnamacharya “the Grand Father of modern yoga”; those styles being Ashtanga Vinyasa, Iyengar, and Viniyoga. Following the guidelines of the Yoga Alliance, upon completion of the course the participants will be able to register with that organization as a RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher).
Those interested persons who have 100 hours from previous courses taught by Anne or through the Astanga Yoga Center Uptown will be able to use those hours, and thereby need only participate in an additional 100 hours.
We will cover topics such as Anatomy & Physiology for Asana including Energy Anatomy, Yoga History & Philosophy, Chanting/ Kirtan and other branches of yoga, Ayurveda, Pranayama, Class Sequencing, proper use of Props, and Business of Yoga.
The schedule of classes will be 4 hours a day on Saturdays & Sundays for 3 weekends a month. The first 100 hours will be held over 3 months beginning late May through mid August. Mid August through late September will be a break, then another 3 months, finishing mid December.
We are excited by this opportunity to provide San Diego with quality instruction and promising new teachers.
Cost: $2000 ($10 per hour) if paid in full by 4/1.
$2250 until May 1, which is cut off date to register.
Payment plans available.

Since October 2007 I have been working with a group of Mexican students in the hopes of providing more Spanish speaking yoga teachers for Tijuana. Tijuana has a population similar to that of San Diego, with a large middle income sector, and very few yoga classes available (mostly in health clubs). On Sunday mornings through April of 2008 we are offering free classes to the public as an opportunity for the Teacher Trainees to get teaching experience in preparation for certification. Thus far the classes have been very popular, close to maximum capacity!
I am thrilled to have this chance to work south of the border and very excited by the response. Thanks to David Alonzo for the use of his beautiful facility at the Tijuana Aikikai, Aikido studio, in Colonia Cacho ( a Tijuana neighborhood). I invite any interested students to participate in these classes. American students, be aware of the current passport requirements, and plan time for the border crossing when returning to San Diego.
