The Inside Story on Jayayoga Teacher Training

April 6, 2017 by Lucinda Staniland 1 Comment

by Lucinda Staniland I already knew that Jennifer Allen, and the Jayayoga Teacher Training she leads, were awesome. But I didn't quite realise how awesome. The Yoga Lunchbox has interviewed Jennifer before, so I was aware that she is an unusually perceptive and gutsy teacher, with a teaching methodology that offers a different perspective on yoga from much of the contemporary yoga scene. Yes, Jennifer teaches straight from the heart with a focus on alignment and safety. It's not flashy … [Read more...]

The Unexpected Discoveries I Made on Yoga Teacher Training

March 16, 2017 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by Bhavani Davies, Sivananda Yoga Centre and one of our Best Up-and-Coming Yoga Teachers for 2016 I enrolled to take my first yoga teacher training in 2008, in an ashram situated in the lush greenery of Val Morin, Canada. The ashram was founded in 1962 and is located on 350 acres in the beautiful Laurentian Mountains. In the first couple of days I struggled not only with the early starts and lack of communication with the outside world, but also with myself. On more than one occasion I … [Read more...]

Jase Te Patu on Embracing Vulnerability & Power Living’s 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training

March 3, 2017 by Guest Author 2 Comments

by Kara-Leah Grant I adore Jase Te Patu - he's a man with so much heart, and so in love with New Zealand and his Māori culture. Plus he's passionate about yoga - both the practice and the teaching of it. When he and I sat down to have a chat about Power Living's Yoga Teacher Training here in New Zealand, it was immediately apparent how Jase has grown since we last spoke two years ago. The passionate boyishness has matured into grounded strength, tempered with an open vulnerability. And, … [Read more...]

Chaitanya Deva on the Deep Foundations of Studio Evolve’s 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training

February 17, 2017 by Kara-Leah Grant Leave a Comment

by Kara-Leah Grant Prior to this video interview, all I knew about Chaitanya Deva was that he and his wife Bex owned Studio Evolve in Nelson, and that they ran Evolve Festival. And that they were preparing to launch their first teacher trainings this April. Then Chai sent me an email giving some background information for this interview. Not only had he spent time with B. Prior, a 'world teacher utterly devoted to awakening', done the India thing, had his time as a punk rocker and a … [Read more...]

The Inside Story on Golden Flow Yoga’s 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training

December 1, 2016 by Lucinda Staniland 2 Comments

It's facilitated by Aeven Kelly, an advocate for teaching people, not asana. We spoke to three women - Breanna, Rachael and Amy - who made the decision to … [Read more...]

The Inside Story on Nadi Yoga’s 200Hr Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training

October 27, 2016 by Guest Author 1 Comment

By Kara-Leah Grant When you're contemplating which Yoga Teacher Training is right for you, one of the best resources can be speaking to someone who has already done that training. Of course, it can be hard to track down former trainees, so we've done that hard work for you. We spoke to Helen Thomas, a Napier-based yoga teacher who did her teacher training with Nadi Yoga nearly two years ago. Helen had been practicing yoga for over ten years before finally making the decision to train as a … [Read more...]

Teaching Yoga? You Must have a Home Yoga Practice. Here’s why

April 20, 2016 by Kara-Leah Grant 25 Comments

by Kara-Leah Grant Recently on social media, a yoga teacher was talking about the difficulty of fitting in going to yoga classes with her busy schedule, and admitted that her home yoga practice was poor. This teacher displayed zero awareness of the importance of a personal practice for anyone who teaches yoga. She's trained as a yoga teacher. Which implies that the yoga teacher training she completed didn't hammer home the importance of a personal practice for those who teach yoga. She's … [Read more...]
