The World Yoga Center is a teacher training school registered with the
National Yoga Alliance. Successful completion of the WYC
Teacher
Training Certification Program gives you the title of Registered Hatha
Yoga teacher in the Anusara Yoga style.
After
thirty three years of training teachers, the World Yoga
Center training program retains its spiritual
moorings in the ancient tradition of Yoga, keeping the potency of those
practices for spiritual transformation.
More and more people approach the World Yoga Center asking for
"certification". Since outer "fitness-based" yoga abounds
everywhere, we hope to make a special contribution.
Students are exposed to the scriptures, teachings and
practices and become open to the power of these, each in his or her own
way. As they continue developing their mastery of asanas,
they
are also gaining strength inwardly and becoming more able to transmit
the inner heart of yoga, the inner awareness.
This is a subtle process in which significant shifts and inner growth
happen spontaneously in a climate of compassion, camaraderie and mutual
respect. It is our intention to keep the training as a
natural
unfoldment, based on traditional yogic methods of learning and
transformation as well as Western methods of scholarship and study, to
give students that mysterious "gestation period" needed to become a
true yoga teacher from within. WYC certification represents a
successful launching of a true yoga teacher capable of teaching
professionally.
The Teacher
Training Program
joyously wends its way through a full, rich curriculum and encourages
the development of a wide variety of inner skills needed for
teaching.

"The teacher Training changes your life. It was going back to Nothing
and starting over and being born again. You can learn to teach Asana
in any training but you can't always get wisdom."

"What
moved me forward, through various obstacles during
the teacher training, was a firm definition of the integrity expected
and the collective commitment by the group on a subtle energetic level
to hold the structure and not break it."
"We all felt enveloped in love throughout this training, thank you for
making that possible for so many."
Finding the WYC was a gift from the Gods and Goddesses! The
challenges and delights I found in the training weekends, and in my
meditation, were the first steps of a life-long journey.
