Clayton Yoga Teacher Training began in June 2003 with the request of one corporate yoga student, Becky Elrod. Standing outside the wellness yoga studio, on a hot summer day, finishing up a yoga class, Becky came right up, and asked when would we train her to teach this kind of yoga? Having learned from the best instructors in the yoga industry, I replied why not start a Clayton Yoga Teacher Training?
Within six months, Yoga Alliance approved our training course and now we offer a team of 4 faculty yoga teacher trainers, a private training site, corporate onsite yoga job openings for select graduates, and a fabulous business coach named Judit Mueller-Kiss who will assist you to design a winning marketing plan for yourself.
In the early days, when I struggled to develop my confidence, I knew in my heart of hearts, I had something valuable to share because of the style of yoga I had been taught.
Vinyasa Yoga is the style of yoga which combines breathing with movement and honors every individual to become empowered. Other yoga styles to me always felt very rigid and dogmatic. Like the secret was just one step away and you weren’t going to get it!
In our yoga training school, we believe wholeheartedly in sharing the most valuable tools and relevant material at the onset. That is why we developed a private training membership site at www.claytonyogateachertraining.com. The day you sign up, is the day you start learning to go at your own pace and as a teacher training Clayton Yoga graduate, you also will have access for 6 months following the yoga teacher training course, too.
More than technique or having a ton of knowledge, being truly inspired by something greater, moves the vibrational energy higher and helps us all to take those everyday small leaps of faith.
Our style of yoga is the fastest growing style, called Vinyasa Yoga, because I believe it supports all levels, differences and abilities to find their own inner magnificence. We are all born with incredible potential, energy and spirit. The central theme of yoga is to unite with this higher force and be the best version we can be. We all have a rich, inner landscape, a sacred heroic journey, and an upward staircase in which to walk. Therefore, how is it possible to be the judge of another student’s success or capability?
Many of our Clayton Yoga Graduates meet our selection process and go on to teach for Clayton Yoga after graduating. Currently Clayton Yoga offers 11 corporate yoga weekly classes throughout St. Louis and 7 weekly yoga classes at Clayton Yoga Studio. Yoga teachers with Clayton Yoga then get an opportunity to be a guest presenter or yoga teacher trainer for other yoga teachers in this same course.
Follow your intuition and if you are a little nervous, that is an excellent sign you just want to be better. If you have the motivation, dedication and desire, why not take the time you deserve to develop mastery and individual success too!
