4 Program Director Heather Agnew Your course facilitator, Heather Agnew is an internationally recognized ERYT (Senior Yoga Instructor), Master PFT (Fitness Professional), and lifestyle consultant with18 years experience in traditional fitness and Pilates training, energetic healing modalities, and many classical and modern Yoga styles. Heather has studied Ashtanga Vinyasa, Sivananda, Vinyasa Flow, and Mukti Yoga. As well Heather draws inspiration from Thai Yoga Massage, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda, Functional Movement Therapy, Usui Ryoho Reiki, The Energetic Healing, and the teachings of the Rosicrucian Order. In integrating these experiences, Heather has designed a Yoga Teacher Training program to contain both the richness and spirit of ancient teachings, as well as the accessibility and functionality of modern Yoga styles. Trinity Vinyasa Flow Yoga reflects this integration in a methodology that leads each individual to his or her own unique and powerful experience Yoga. Heather brings to the program an intent to educate, inspire, and empower teacher trainees to develop a strong foundation of knowledge and experience in the fundamentals of Yoga technique and philosophy, while revealing their own unique gifts, wisdom, and talents as a teacher and practitioner of Yoga. Contact: heather@yogatrinity.com Frequently Asked Questions What Does The Daily Schedule Look Like? AM Practice 7:00-8:45 AM Workshop 10:00-12:00 PM Workshop 1:00-3:00 PM Practice 3:00-4:00 PM Closing 4:00-4:30 Guided Practice Lecture (subjects like anatomy, teaching skills, philosophy etc) Asana Study (discovering the magic in the details of each pose) Technical Practice and Practice Teaching Guided Relaxation/Meditation Can I Teach Yoga Right Away After Taking This Course? Absolutely. Once you have completed all four modules of training as well as your written and practical exams, which are included in Module 4, you can register as a Yoga Instructor, obtain professional insurance, and begin teaching. Many of our grads have gone on to start their own studios/yoga businesses, while others have chosen to teach for someone else, or teach Corporate or private classes. Additional training and study is important to continue to develop your skills and your understanding of the philosophies and technique of Yoga. But, one of the very best ways to learn is to teach.

5 What Does Registered mean? Yoga Alliance - Upon graduation from the Trinity Yoga Teacher Training program you will automatically be eligible to obtain registration with Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level. This will allow you to use the initials RYI (Registered Yoga Instructor) after your name, and teach professionally around the world. Yoga Australia - Completion of our Level I program will give you access to the provisional membership, allowing you to teach professionally in Australia. The provisional membership requires that you increase your level of training from the 285 hours of Level I, to 350 hours of training within three years. We have a series of Continuing Education programs to help you do this, while following your interest into areas of study that suit you and your clients needs. There are hundreds of programs that you can take to upgrade your training, including the Yoga Trinity programs; Ayurveda & Yoga Therapy, Adjusting, Assisting & Partner Yoga, Core Yoga, and Thai Yoga Massage. As well, you may be able to register in full with Yoga Australia after completion of Level I if you have other training in fitness, yoga, massage or anatomy. Fitness Australia This program is also recognized by Fitness Australia for 15 CECs and will allow Fitness Professionals to add Yoga classes to their fitness/wellness services. Registration is fairly new in the Yoga community but an important part of this rapidly evolving field. It is important for our students to know that we have completed a basic level of training that gives us the skills and knowledge necessary to provide safe and effective Yoga classes, and to offer the philosophies, teachings and techniques of Yoga in a way that is accessible and practical for the modern life. Registration tells your students that you have achieved this essential level of training, and that you are committed to their health and wellbeing as a yoga instructor. Insurance Upon graduation you will be able to access inexpensive public and professional risk liability. To operate your own Yoga business professional liability insurance is essential to protect you and your students in case of loss or injury. If you choose to work for a studio, gym or educational or government institution you may be covered on their policy. It is your responsibility as an instructor to ensure that coverage is provided for each class or private session that you instruct. To qualify for professional liability insurance you must be registered with Yoga Australia, Yoga Alliance, or another yoga-related organization. What if I Can t Complete The Course? There are some circumstances in life that we cannot predict, and if an obstacle comes up in your life that causes you to have to discontinue your studies, we can work together to try to assist you in completing the course at another time. This will be dealt with on a case by case basis, but know that we will accommodate our teacher training students to the best of our ability. Can I Take Just One Module At A Time? Can I Take The Modules in Different Cities? Absolutely. We have created the Flex-Schedule program because we understand that not everyone can take a month off of work and family responsibilities to undertake training. You can take just one module to deepen your practice and begin to explore yoga. Or, you can take modules in different cities at times that work for you. Please discuss with your course coordinator or directly with Heather to plan a schedule that suits your life best.

6 Do I Have To Be Able To Do All The Yoga Poses To Become An Instructor? Students interested in joining a Yoga Teacher Training program often ask me this question, and the answer is quite simple. If you have found Yoga to be an important part of your life and your personal growth, if you have a sincere desire to learn, and if you are passionate about bringing all the rewards and experiences of Yoga to others, than you are a suitable candidate to become a Yoga instructor. The process of teacher training will help you to further develop your practice, and perhaps this means that you will be able to achieve more advanced yoga postures as a result, but keep in mind that Yoga is not just about the poses, but about a state of mind and a state of being that is inclusive, accepting, compassionate and loving. We have had students of ages from 18 to 68 successfully complete the course and go on to become inspiring and successful teachers. To be able to demonstrate the Yoga asanas is important, but does not exclude teachers of differing levels of skill and ability. What is most important is that you can demonstrate the fundamental principles of Yoga on and off the mat. What if I Don t Want to Become An Instructor? Many students come to Teacher Training to simply deepen their own practice and knowledge of the rich teachings of Yoga. Having said that, many of these students discover during the process that they do have a desire to become teachers, but this is not essential. Our pre-requisite for the course is that students have a committed practice and a sincere desire to learn, what you do with your new wisdom and experience is up to you. Can I Do This Course By Correspondence? Traditional wisdom and current regulations in Australia and Internationally agree that for a teacher to experience and attain a comprehensive education in Yoga Teaching, a minimum standard of 200 hours of study in direct contact with a senior teacher is required. Our course does have a correspondence component, however completion of all four modules of contact study in our Level I course is a requirement to receive your Yoga Trinity certificate, and achieve membership and recognition by governing bodies (Yoga Australia, Yoga Alliance). To make our course more accessible, we have created 4 modules of study that can be completed at your own pace please see Modules of Study for more information. I Am Already a Yoga Instructor, But Want to Study and Teach Vinyasa Flow We welcome yoga teachers from all backgrounds, styles and lineages to take part in Modules 1 & 2 for a post-graduate Certificate in Vinyasa Flow Yoga. These modules offer you an opportunity to study, practice, and learn to teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga, and includes workshops on Yoga Sutras, Anatomy and Asana, Cuing and Refining, and a complete study of the Trinity Vinyasa Flow Yoga Level 1 Sequence, giving you the practice and experience to teach a 90 minute Vinyasa Flow class.
