The Art Of Sequencing & Creative Adjusting
Whether teaching classes on line or live in person, careful and intelligent sequencing is essential to every yoga class. Without proper sequencing, a class can leave the student ungrounded and imbalanced. Like a good chef who knows how to skillfully combine ingredients, the mindful yoga teacher blends poses to create a feeling of integrity and wholeness. In this course Tias and Surya share their combined 50 years of study, practice and teaching on how to design classes that are dynamic, playful, enlightening and creative. Known for their integrity, authenticity and wisdom, Tias and Surya share the art of teaching that has made them so successful and real over the years. You will learn not only how to weave a class together, but how to stand in a leadership role within your community at this time of upheaval and uncertainty.

Yoga Trauma And Healing
Current research shows that trauma is pervasive today, woven into the very fabric of human culture. Trauma may be due to circumstances in this lifetime, or inherited from previous generations. In this time of the pandemic where there is loss of life and political and social unrest, we are witnessing a global acceleration of the traumatic experience.
As yoga practitioners we must ask, what is trauma and how does it effect the body-mind? How can stretching, breathing, meditation, sound, and visualization practice help break the grip of traumatic holding?
In this course we investigate the impact of trauma on the mind and body and how anxiety and stress become embedded in the bodys soft tissues. While the historical yoga teachings do not point directly to trauma, they refer to obstacles, afflictions, and poisons that impair progress on the path. We will examine contemporary research in psychology, dreamwork, neurology, and somatic-emotional processing in order to provide you with the tools necessary to address trauma in your community and for your students and clientele.

Passionate Students Become Extraordinary Teachers
To become a yoga teacher, you need to understand and practice yoga: postures, philosophy, meditation, and pranayama . True learning includes both information and experience.
For example, you can read books about meditation or healthy eating, but you truly feel the benefits when you practice. When you experience a calmer, less reactive mind, you want to meditate. When your energy skyrockets because youve replaced sugary snacks with fruits and nuts, you wont protest adding a few vegetables to your dinner plate.
As you establish a regular yoga practice, you learn firsthand about its benefits: stable energy, better sleep, less stress and calmer, happier mind.
You gain the skills and motivation to be a dedicated student: breathing practices you build upon month-by-month, meditation homework, and yoga sequences.
Over nine months of Teacher Training, you immerse yourself into yoga deeper than ever before, and you experience extraordinary growth in your own yoga practice, preparing you to be a skilled teacher. You develop your own authentic teaching voice through creative exercises and practice teaching.
Students have told us over the years that the toughest part of teaching is articulating the language: how to move into and out of postures clearly and succinctly. Youll practice with us and well give you a set of cues to get you started.
How Proficient In Yoga Do You Have To Be To Do The Program
There are no definitive pre-requisites when it comes to levels of proficiency in physical asana for our 200-hour yoga teacher training.
For our 300-hour training, you must have already completed a 200-hour YTT, and we recommend that you have been teaching yoga for at least one year before participating.

Shanti Yoga School Testimonials
Shanti Yoga Training School has been such a blessing to my life and has guided me on a path to much growth as an educator as well as a human being. Natalie Croix creates a wonderfully personalized experience and offers priceless methods and tools to open the mind and body in preparation for the sharing of the gift of a healthy yoga practice. – Andre Wilson RYT 200 | LA
I loved taking my teacher training with Nathalie Croix. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and could answer all of my questions. She is really friendly and nice too. You can tell just by being around her that she has good energy. I enjoyed hearing her stories about studying in India and she did a really good job teaching us about Indian culture and Sanskrit. I also liked how she taught us about other types of yoga besides vinyasa. She was able to teach us about restorative, prenatal, and ashtanga. It was from this that I learned that I especially love restorative yoga . After teacher training with her, I felt ready to teach yoga and I immediately found teaching jobs at 2 studios. I am so glad that I picked her to train under. – Rachel Harrer RYT 200 | LA
It has been a gift to study with Nathalie and complete both the 200hr and 300hr trainings with her. She is kind, gentle, straightforward, and always ready to share her knowledge. – Raegan Robinson RYT 500, New Orleans

Testimonial By Swan School Founder Michelle Baker
New Orleans very first Yoga Teacher Training, called Swan School, circa 2008 a part of Swan River Yoga, is more than delighted to announce the merge of a very precious studio and Faculty with us in a heart felt space in Metairie, Grace Yoga. This Graceful confluence rose from the ashes of a lovely being filled with heart that chose to never give up, during loss, sickness and struggle. Her yoga practice has emerged with diligence and eloquence into what is now a deeply rooted practice within her own being.
Brigitte Martin has never given up nor in. She speaks and teaches from her heart. She has trained closely with me since her very first Swan River Yoga Teacher Training as a devoted Mentor for 5 years. After opening up her own studio and broadening her magnetic demographic, it is with great fulfillment to announce her care in lineage, foundation and authenticity to continue to share the teachings with heart.
Grace Swan School is now the result. This will provide all of the elemental components of a well tested long standing program, ever refined, while respecting our roots and emerging its modern need. In our 200 hour program at Grace, you will experience the breath and depth of many paths of yoga in all dimensions, from asana, philosophy, mantra, therapy, alignment, natural medicine, chakra system, and specializing in leading private sessions.
In Grace we return , with the love and support of rivers merging.

Healing The Organic Body
While it is valuable to stretch and strengthen the musculoskeletal system in yoga, the health of the organs brings radiant vitality to the entire body. In this course we utilize postures, pranayama, meditation and dietary regulation to support the health of the internal organs.
We focus on generating the flow of prana through each organ to support motility and metabolic exchange. We review the anatomical position and function of each organ and practice SATYA to slide, squeeze, wring, drain, and flush fluids through each organ.

It attracts students from around the world and produces empowered, informed and confident yoga teachers. The training teaches you to incorporate asana, chanting, music, meditation, activism and scriptural study into a challenging practice underpinned by a quest for enlightenment.
Jivamukti Yogas® focus on a non-dualistic view of life awakens in the practitioner not only the need to protect the environment and all the animals and plants that share the planet with us, but also teaches skills to confidently achieve those goals for oneself as well as lead others to live in harmony with the planet.
The pathway begins with the Jivamukti Immersion as an Introductory Course, then continues to the 75HR Foundational Course , and reaches the 300HR Comprehensive Certification . We dont stop there we expect our Teachers to keep studying, so they can offer students the best Yoga experience in the world. So we also offer our Certified Teachers an advanced 500HR Apprenticeship and an Advanced Board Exam , positioning you as a leader in the Jivamukti Yoga community but also the Yoga community worldwide.
