Course Outline

A journey that will not only give you the tools to teach, but it will enhance your relationship with life and living more fully!

Learn the Art of Teaching Yoga. The DYC 200 hour in-depth yoga training provides a comprehensive and deep understanding of both hatha and vinyasa yoga teaching as a transformative, healing, meditative, life-changing art form.

Learn the Art of Vinyasa. DYC trained instructors will teach you the most important fundamentals of a flow based yoga class so that you can create an inspiring, intelligent and engaging vinyasa class.

Learn the Art of Sequencing. Discuss and analyze each of the pose families. Learn how forward bends, backbends, twists, standing poses, and inversions work so you can teach vinyasa, restorative, and fundamentals-based classes that are safe, exhilarating, challenging and fulfilling for every student level.

Learn the Art of Pranayama and Meditation. Whether teaching a slow mindful based practice or a more exhilarating flow class, learn to incorporate the breath and meditation for energizing the body, relaxing the mind and awakening spirit. This training specifically addresses pranayama techniques, focusing on the western physiological relationship to the respiratory system.

Learn the Art of Yoga Anatomy. Have fun looking at the beautifully designed architecture of the body and seeing how poses exist on the muscular and skeletal levels. Deconstruct classical yoga poses so you have a deeper understanding of alignment and lines of action principles.

Learn the Art of Mindfulness. Discover the power and depth of mindfulness and how to integrate it into your yoga class.

Learn the Art of Adjustments. Know when and where it is appropriate to give hands-on adjustments so you can confidently and effectively enhance your student’s practice.

Learn the Art of Authenticity. Connect with your authentic self. Dive into the transformative wisdom of yoga through yoga philosophy, lifestyle, and ethics to help you discover and nurture your own true voice as a teacher so you can share your passion and joy for the practice with grace and ease.

NICOLAI BACHMAN

Nicolai has been teaching Sanskrit, chanting, yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and other related topics since 1994. He has a knack for synthesizing and organizing complex topics into simple and understandable presentations. His education combines informal, traditional study with the academic rigor of university classes. Nicolai studied extensively at the American Sanskrit Institute, the Ayurvedic Institute, the American Institute of Vedic Studies and the Vedic Chant Center. He holds an M.A. in Eastern Philosophy, an M.S. in Nutrition, and is ERYT500 certified. His ongoing studies continue to broaden his repertoire and inform all future classes.

He also wrote an easy-to-read paperback on yoga philosophy called Path of the Yoga Sutras (Sounds True 2011).

CAROLINE BESLEY

Caroline has been practicing yoga since 1998 and dancing since birth. She has an innate curiosity about the world, and loves how yoga teaches her something new every single day. She encourages her students to question, learn, and discover new things about their bodies, their minds, and the world around them.

Her teaching style and practice are influenced by the many exceptional teachers she has had the opportunity to study with, including Marylou McNamara, Margaret Townsend, and Mary Pappas-Sandonas. She earned her 200 hr RYT from the Dallas Yoga Center.

Caroline also draws from her dance background, bringing joy and freedom of movement into her teaching.

SANDI TINDAL

Sandi Tindal has been interested in how people move all her life. She has a strong understanding of human biomechanics and comes from a noteworthy career of engineering.

Her decision to study yoga was motivated by an eagerness to understand the mind-body connection and how to improve the health of the whole person via the breath. She finds that the science of yoga addresses some key principles to being in the body that are often overlooked in today’s fast-paced culture.

Breath-centric movement is a method that she offers throughout her classes; drawn from the Viniyoga tradition this approach helps many individuals gain greater self-understanding about their current condition which can lead to insight about positive next steps to take for growth and transformation.

SARAH SAMPSON

In her role leading social-emotional learning (SEL) for Keller ISD, Sarah supports the implementation of mindfulness and emotional- intelligence initiatives in 43 schools that serve over 34,000 students. She began her education journey building elementary theatre programs in public schools to teach students social skills and healthy self-expression through creative movement and mindful communication. Sarah is trained in MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) through UC San Diego. She has developed trainings and workshops to share with educators district-wide and across the state.
