Take An Inspirational Journey to Your New Career in Yoga
Have you thought about being a yoga teacher? Maybe you already are a yoga teacher and want more than just a basic understanding of the poses. Or it could be that you’ve just learned about yoga and want to learn as much about it as you can, without ever teaching. Well, if you live near Minneapolis or are willing to travel to get the most advanced yoga teacher training, get ready. Don't miss this opportunity to learn and grow with the oldest and most experienced Yoga training program in Minnesota.
Musélan’s Yoga Teacher Training program begins with the experience and knowledge of Laura Erdman-Luntz, E-RYT(500), a yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience, an education in exercise physiology and a life long passion for yoga. Nine other educators round out the training staff assuring that there is a variety of experience and expertise in not only yoga and yoga philosophy, but other related disciplines. Learn about not only the yoga poses but Sanskrit, Chakras, Sutras, Yamas and Niyamas.
"Everyone should take this program!
In the first few weeks I have learned more than all my years studying yoga!"
~ 200-hour Teacher Training participant
In this unique training program, you will enjoy:
Small groups are the best learning environments for your training. Just like this ancient practice used to be handed down from guru to student, so is this program done in small intimate groups. You won’t be lost in the crowd! You’ll connect personally with the staff and bond with the rest of your group. This is about community and connection.
- Intimate group sizes (no more than 12 in the group!)
- Personal interaction with lead trainers
- Individual coaching and support
Deepen Your Yoga Practice
Even if you don’t become a teacher, Yoga Teacher Training will deepen your personal yoga practice. Under the expert guidance of Laura and the Musélan team, you will find the unique meaning of yoga that lies within you. If your calling is teaching, you will find a fabulously supportive yoga community, that will continue long after your graduation, to help you grow and reach the heights you are capable of.
"Laura and her Musélan team really know their stuff! Not only do they have a knowledgeable technical and informational background, but they are really good at getting to know their students and assimilating the program to each individual’s needs."
~ Sydney Silko, 2011 200-Hour Participant
