 The River Yoga Teacher Training Program is offered in the Saraswati River Tradition to serious students who are ready to deepen their practice, understanding and experience of Yoga. This program is appropriate for veteran and aspiring teachers alike. David Pittenger, senior teacher at River Yoga school and center, coordinates an experienced and dedicated staff of teachers to offer an ever more challenging and insightful teacher training. RY is a Yoga Alliance registered school.
The 2010 curriculum will be comprehensive, reflecting the philosophy of the Saraswati River Yoga tradition, while qualifying the student for certification with Yoga Alliance. The River Yoga School and center was founded by renowned yogini of the Bhairavi Maha Yoga tradition, Parvathi Nanda Nath Saraswati and the highly trained RY staff continues to maintain the highest standards of service to truth. This is authentic lineage yoga recognizing that Yoga is immeasurably more than asana. Lineage yoga imparts more than knowledge, it is a living tradition that can uplift both teacher and students and may impart the seeds of learning and opening for a lifetime. The apprenticeship/teacher training program will provide the in-depth instruction, individual attention and time for the full experience of yoga to bloom and emerge.

This 3-hour class is for experienced students wanting to dive deeply into the realm of self-exploration and learn practices designed to support awakening. This class explores several modalities of transforming body and mind towards a state of freedom and beauty.
Utilizing asana, pranayama, chanting, inquiry meditations and Tantric techniques like Bhutta Shuddi (cleansing of the energetic body) we will look deeply into the nature of the mind. This class will emphasize direct experience in group sadhana (practice). Kaula (embodying the Universe) provides an elemental integration for body and emotion. David has received direct transmission from Parvathi to impart vidya teachings. This class gives a strong basis for new students to Tantra wanting to do advanced studies with Parvathi. It is David’s humbling life work to both practice and offer these teachings.
