Yoga Teaching Increasingly Popular


“Yoga is not to be performed: Yoga is to be lived…Yoga is a path to discovering our deepest selves, physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is a path to ponder your life’s purpose, and to break out of your limiting beliefs and conditioned responses. It is, in fact, a way to discover the vast potential lying dormant within.”

From “Fire of Love: For Students of Life; For Teachers of Yoga” by Aadil Palkhivala

A really interesting article in US News that I read today on how many people are drawn to becoming yoga teachers. To me it seems that in the midst of our outer world drastically metamorphosing and crumbling out of old paradigms, more and more souls are seeking out 'truth'. The only unwavering, clear truth I believe can be found is when we close our eyes and go within, which is why Yoga has grown so popular. Here's an excerpt from the article:

“Starting out, [my salary] is much smaller than what I was earning at my old position, but the quality of life ... is a thousands times [better],” says Laird, 27, who makes a living teaching a combination of group classes, private lessons, and yoga therapy. “I would take this salary over my old one any day, because I can actually enjoy life rather than being miserable.” As yoga grows in popularity, more workers are turning to the mat not only for peace of mind, but for an extra paycheck. Some are teaching yoga in addition to their day job, while others have transitioned full time to teaching, leaving nine-to-five behind."

Our upcoming PURE Yoga Teacher Training has an incredible curriculum that will send graduates off ready to go, with more anatomy, practice hours and observation than any other program out there today. I am proud to offer more people a chance to access to notch training and pursue a more fulfilling career choice. We are gearing up for the Summer session in Westwood and the deadline for discounted tuition is this Sunday, May 1st. I've spoken to so many individuals, "Well....I've been thinking about getting certified for years now...." and there is no better time than NOW to jump into a training and give yourself an education that is invaluable and an investment in yourself and your health and your knowledge that lasts a lifetime!
