Many of us come to yoga hoping to release tight hamstrings, heal injured knees, or get that tweak out of our lower backs.  We picture ourselves sitting in full lotus or sliding down into the splits like a teenage cheerleader.

Alas,  we find that progress here is slow or nonexistent. Worst case scenario, we injure ourselves in our eagerness to open up.

Good news: there yoga can get you there, but you’re going to need some basic tips and tricks to make the shift free of pain and suffering. Enter Anusara Yoga, today’s most advanced, biomechanically sound, and surprisingly simple tools! Once you clear up one area in the lower body, everything else will fall into place.

This workshop includes practice, observation, yummy hands-on adjustments. All levels and all lower-body ailments welcome!

Anusara Yoga is sweeping the globe with its cutting-edge technique and joyous philosophy. Be part of the first wave of Anusara in China, and take a leap forward in your practice and understanding of yoga!  Curious to visit China? Enjoy a week in this historic city (home of the 10,000 terracotta warriors, the “Eighth Wonder of the World!”), and expand your horizons both on and off the mat!

The 100-hour Anusara Yoga Immersion, divided in to two parts of 50 hours each, takes you deeper into the genius of Anusara practice and philosophy. The immersion gives you the time and the framework to grow your practice and to grasp how your yoga shapes your daily life.

Part One gives you the Big Picture, going deep into our powerful system of Universal Principles of Alignment, as well as shedding light on the standing poses, arm balances, forward bends and hip openers. We’ll look at how to work with injuries and common misalignments in the shoulders and hips, so you never have to practice through pain again! We’ll see how our yoga tradition explains how the world works and take a fresh look at Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, the most famous book on yoga ever written.

Apply Now!
*To enter this course, you must first complete 30 hours or 3 months of Anusara Yoga classes. Completion of both Parts One and Two is required to enter Anusara Yoga Teacher Training.

Ready to share the yoga you love with others? Dive in!  Now’s the time! Be part of this historic moment, the first Anusara Yoga Teacher Training in China! This program welcomes Chinese students and teachers whom Lois has guided into Anusara Yoga during her numerous teaching trips to the PRC, as well as those coming from other Asian countries and the West. How lucky we are to be hosted by Yamayoga, right in the center of China’s ancient capital city and home of the 10,000 terracotta warriors! How luck for Westerners to find a full Anusara Yoga Teacher Training at a fraction of the cost of U.S. programs (gotta love that exchange rate)!

Our small-group format ensures that you will receive supportive feedback and coaching from Lois, who has personally trained dozens of Anusara yoga teachers over the past decade.  Anusara teachers are among the most highly trained and skilled anywhere in the world. Become a leader in the first wave of Anusara in China!

This hands-on course will give you all of the tools to grow into a truly exceptional teacher.

You will learn:

  • how to use your voice and your verbal instructions to inspire students to make shifts that can change their lives
  • how to weave our life-affirming philosophy into classes that students will remember for a lifetime
  • how to guide students deeply and safely into poses using physical adjustments
  • how to sequence poses so that students can move safely into challenging asanas
  • how to plan ongoing courses that encourage students to grow
  • how to teach students of all levels
  • how to work with injuries and special conditions

This training occurs in two weeklong intensives of 50 hours each, for a total of 100 hours. (You must complete both parts to receive a Certificate of Completion.)  The course is spread out over several months to give you time to absorb our teaching techniques and put them into practice.
