Yoga Teacher Training Basic 200 Hour Program
Carroll Community College in Westminster, MD.
A 6 month “non-residential” program in which students meet at Carroll County Community College from October through March. We meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings and 3 weekends during this period. This is a good choice for those who learn better in a long term format or who enjoy having a little more time to think about and assimilate ideas. Each training group is separated into cooperative learning groups or “family groups”. These family groups support each member in their learning activities through the program. It is the hope of yama studio that these training programs are the beginning of life-long learning relationships between participants.
A typical training day begins with a group asana class and is followed by a lecture on a yoga related topic. Following the lecture there is generally a period devoted to the practical application of the lecture material. There is time for teaching methodology and more practical applications of the material. On each evening there will be time for the family groups to come together.

Meditation Facilitator Training
This program is ideal for those who wish to teach meditation as well as for those who wish to have a more in depth knowledge of meditation or who have a desire to deepen their personal meditation practice.
The Meditation training incorporates information from many traditions so you can discern how to best meet the needs of those you teach. All meditation paths share the ability to enable us to experience life more fully by reducing stress and bringing integration to mind and body. As Yoga practice gives us a means of accepting where we are in our lives, meditation helps us to transcend our difficulties and integrate all levels of our experience to create a greater sense of awareness of our connection to 'All-that-is'. As our meditation practice is integrated into our daily lives our challenges become opportunities for growth
During the course you will learn:
- Relaxation and Concentration exercises and techniques
- Meditation Practices, benefits, styles and common experiences
