2024 Dates Coming Soon!!

50-Hour In-Depth Yoga Studies Course

Hello yogis,  

Kristen and I are thrilled to announce this unique training course! Over the many years of leading yoga teacher trainings, I’ve had endless inquiries from students who want to learn more about yoga and are not necessarily interested in teaching. You asked, I answered. About 8 years ago I developed a Yoga In-Depth Studies course specifically for you! If you’re intrigued, take a look at the info below. Feel free to reach out to me, Ahna, directly if you have any questions. 317-640-2588 or ahnahoke@gmail.com 

What is an In-Depth Studies Course? 

This is a comprehensive immersion style course for dedicated students of yoga, yoga teachers and teachers in training. It is an opportunity to delve deep into the knowledge and wisdom of yoga to make a lasting positive impact on and off the mat. An immersion gives you the chance to learn more about yoga than can be taught in weekly classes. It can be an incredibly life enhancing opportunity offering a deeper level of insight and dedication.

Blooming Life Yoga’s 50-HR Yoga In-Depth Training will start September 15th, 2023 and end on December 17th, 2023.

$100 Non-refundable deposit required to register and reserve your seat ($100 deposit will be applied to your final payment).

Who is eligible for this course?

This course is appropriate for anyone who is interested in expanding their yoga practice. 

Do I need to be an advanced practitioner to participate?

All you need is the desire to learn. All levels of practitioners are welcome. 

What will be covered in this course?

This immersion covers the full spectrum of yoga: asana, meditation, pranayama, philosophy, and functional anatomy. 

Asana:

By exploring the in-depth details of each asana, including the function and purpose, you will find greater understanding allowing you to engage more fully in all levels of asana in an accessible and safe way. You will learn modifications and variations for poses and the foundations for establishing a strong and rewarding home practice. Incorporating refinements of energetic and biomechanical actions will allow you to feel your physical practice expand quickly. 

Pranayama:

Gain an understanding of basic breathing practices and bandhas: how and when to use them, the benefits, and contraindications of each. Prana = life force energy, can become stagnant and stifled resulting in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual pain and disfunction.  The practices you will learn will support and enhance your overall health, as well as keeping your lungs, physically, in the best health possible. Pranayama is viewed as the gateway to more easeful and fruitful meditation. 

Meditation:

Receive guidance on how to begin or deepen your meditation practice. A variety of meditation tools will be offered so you can find techniques that work best for you. Meditation can offer us new levels of insight, wisdom, compassion, understanding… the list goes on and on. 

Philosophy:

Delve into sacred texts and teachings of the yoga tradition and explore how these ancient teachings bring their wisdom to offer more balanced and skillful daily living in a culture full of demands and pressure. We investigate yoga philosophy to discover how they can be integrated into today’s world. Their wisdom can lead to desired permanent shifts in life, leading to a deeper level of gratitude and joy. 

 Functional Anatomy:

We do recognize that anatomy is very intimidating, but we guarantee that you will be inspired by what you will learn in the functional anatomy section. What you learn will change your practice and the way you look at poses. We will examine variations of hip and shoulder bones in order for you to gain understanding into why some poses may feel impossible, and others easy. There is no magic ‘one shape fits all’ in yoga. This new insight of functional anatomy will take your practice to brand new heights. 

 What is the difference between this course and the teacher training?

The In-Depth Studies program is geared toward students who are interested in developing a greater understanding of all aspects of yoga for their personal practice. The immersion is a pre-requisite for the teacher training. Those who continue with teacher training will benefit significantly from these learned concepts. 

 If I choose to embark on the teacher training program must I do it immediately after the immersion?

You can join the TT the following year (or within a year) without any extra study. However, if more than one year has passed, you are required to participate in the full 50-Hour In-Depth Studies program again. This is to ensure the course essentials are fresh in your memory and that you receive the most up-to-date information.

All repeat students of the In-Depth course will receive a 30% discount.

 What is required of me outside of the course?

As this is an in-depth program, weekly readings of classic yogic texts will be assigned, journaling and writing assignments that relate to the readings and offer great insight, as well as making time for asana practice.
