The Art of Yoga
Teacher Training and Certification Program
200 and 500 hour Programs

Since its inception in 2001, The Art of Yoga School for teachers has set the standard and re-invented the format for a teacher training program. The Art of Yoga was the first school, to offer such accessible training. Wanting the training to be “family friendly,” owner and Master Teacher, Debbie Wolski, recognized the need for flexibility and adaptability to suit each individuals needs. While all the requirements set forth by Yoga Alliance must be met, the speed and duration of the program is customized for each participant. This allows people that work, have time constraints or families, access to becoming certified Yoga teachers, without putting their lives on hold.
The course is basically two halves. The first half of the program consists of specialized workshops, held once a month. The last weekend of each month, is dedicated to full-time training; Saturday 9:00am-5:30pm and Sunday 9:00 am-3:00pm. These workshops focus on all the components required by Yoga Alliance including, Chakras, Anatomy, Bandhas, Meditation, Philosophy, Pranayama, adjustments and assisting etc. You will also learn how to sequence a class and use effective cueing techniques. Safety and success are also key components in the training program. A non-competitive atmosphere is essential, allowing each individual to progress at a rate consistent within their capabilities.
The other half of the program is Asana practice. Students are allowed to accumulate the second half of the classroom hours required, according to their personal schedules. Realizing a one-size-fits-all approach just didn’t work in this arena, The Art of Yoga Teacher training program allows growth as quickly or as slowly as you need.
“We have had tremendous success with this flexible format ,” Debbie happily recalls. “A large percentage of the most beloved Yoga instructors in the Central Valley and Modesto areas, have been trained by us and several have gone on to open their own studios and Training facilities. It’s very gratifying to turn your passion into a career and help others do the same. ”
Whether you are deepening your own personal practice or moving into a new vocation, Yoga will enhance and change your life. Better health, well-being, happiness and fulfillment are available to each person. When there is light in the soul there is beauty in the person. When there is beauty in the person there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home there is honor in the nation. When there is honor in the nation there is peace in the world.
