PRE-WORK ASSIGNMENT

  • Please generate an intention for yourself both as an assistant and as student during the training.

  • Come prepared to share your intentions with the team.

  • Familiarize yourself with the promise of the program:

You will discover for yourself what is holding you back from being your true and authentic self. You will embody the practices and techniques of Baptiste Yoga both on and off the mat as a contribution to yourself and others. You will leave the program with the ability to teach an all levels Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga class.

HYDRATION

You are responsible for maintaining a healthy level of hydration throughout the training. Because you will be sweating and losing fluids throughout asana practice, plan to balance this by consistently taking in fluids. In addition to your normal water intake, we suggest that you also drink electrolyte replenishment fluid throughout each day. The amount you will need will vary depending on your size and your activity level.

LOCATION/FACILITY

Training will take place at Warrior Yoga, located at 341 E. Main St. in Turlock. There are two bathrooms and no showers so please plan accordingly. There are many restaurants and a pharmacy located in downtown Turlock within a couple of blocks of the yoga studio. There are many restaurants and grocery stores available within short driving distances for longer breaks.

GRADUATION

Mark your calendars to celebrate the graduates on March (tbd!)! The time of graduation is TBD.
