Hot Yoga Teacher Training with Angela Tara Hsu

Dates: February 3-5, 2017
Location: Durham
Time: 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Teacher: Angela Tara Hsu

Teachers, are you looking for a therapeutic, hot, dynamic class without the vinyasas, yet without being tied to a set sequence of poses? Hot Yoga is an excellent option for your students who are looking to work up a sweat, but may be working with injuries or just want to give wrists and shoulders a break.

Join Angela Tara Hsu for this weekend training and learn how to create intelligently-sequenced classes that will challenge your students’ stamina while focusing on alignment and integration within the postures. Longer holds require the teacher to keep students engaged, and provide space to add additional layers to postures and, as a result, to your class.

Learn how you can create a multi-level class for the beginner and advanced yogi alike, making Hot Yoga a great option for everyone. This training is ideal for teachers aspiring to add more range and depth to his/her teaching curriculum, or even simply their personal practice.

FRI 4-9PM • SAT 9AM-8PM • SUN 9AM-6PM • $350
