Yoga Teacher Training is the most physically challenging program I’ve put myself into .

Getting a yoga teacher certification is an amazing opportunity  Most programs will teach the history behind yoga, the ancient lineage, the methodology ,alignment of postures, meditation , breathing techniques, self-practice, anatomy, health and wellness.

Most  programs will also provide a strong, supportive community where people listen attentively, offer a shoulder or hand, and become your forever friends and family.

"Yoga Teacher Training is the most physically challenging program I’ve put myself into (even more so than training for a half marathon). But it’s so much more than a physical challenge. Honestly? I think the physical challenges were  easy compared to the emotional challenges. As one trainee said being willing to pull the weeds is not easy." CFYC Teacher Training Graduate

"Prepare to be challenged, challenged, challenged until you transform.Yoga teacher training was so much more than I could’ve ever imagined. Yoga isn’t just about getting into a few postures that stretch our hamstrings and tighten your  a*#. Yoga is a way of life. It’s a state of being. It’s a pathway to freedom and liberation. An exploration of wholeness. Yoga is a journey of epic proportions" CFYC Teacher Training Graduate

CFYC 200-Hour program will deepen your physical practice and connect you with your body in a new and more powerful way.You will expand beyond the physical practice.

The Vinyasa style we teach can be easily adapted to different levels with special attention to anatomical sequencing and skillful assists.

Our program develops your ability to effectively communicate to your students in a clear and direct way.The right language connects us to our bodies and to the bodies of our students leading to new levels of engagement and effectiveness in their practice and in your teaching.Without sacrificing consistency we teach our teacher trainees to  respond to what they observe.Being a great teacher is not about saying more but seeing more.

Do You Take Things Personally?

Whatever happens around you, don’t take it personally… Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world from the one we live in. When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world.

Even the opinions you have about yourself are not necessarily true; therefore you don’t need to take whatever you hear in your own mind personally…Don’t take anything personally because by taking things personally you set yourself up to suffer for nothing….When we really see other people as they are without taking it personally, we can never be hurt by what they say or do. 

There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally. 

As you make a habit of not taking anything personally, you won’t need to place your trust in what others do or say. You will only need to trust yourself to make responsible choices. You are never responsible for the actions of others; you are only responsible for you. When you truly understand this, and refuse to take things personally, you can hardly be hurt by the careless comments or actions of others. ~Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz

As Don Miguel Ruiz says, “who knows what is happening in the mind of the person giving the feedback when it’s given.” I try to remember this any time I get feedback that upsets me. 
I try to stop, take a deep breath and think about the other person. Where might this be coming from? Does their tone or body language have to do with me or with them? Oftentimes, if I can stop even for a second or two, I can come back into my body and consider one of my greater qualities the ability I have to let things go, not take things personally, forgive, have compassion for where someone is on their path and move on.

The only way not to take things so personally is to know yourself.
