The Fourfold Path of Practice and Teaching
Online Immersion and Teacher Development with Christina Sell
6 Months: April- September
Limited to 25 Students
Tuition- $600
This online immersion and teacher training is designed for 200-hour teacher training graduates who want to refine their personal practice and teaching through study, personal exploration, and direct experience. Christina Sell, known for her clarity, down-to-earth teaching style, and sense of humor has synthesized her thirty years of teaching experience in both fitness and yoga, her diverse training in spirituality and personal growth methods, and her personal insight from practice and study into a 6-month, online immersion and teacher development program.

This integrative approach considers yoga as an educational process that draws forth the wisdom of the Spiritual Heart, the Intellect, the Emotions, and the Body in ever-expanding and creative expressions.
Over the past few years, students have asked for a training program that would help them:
Taught from basic principles, not rigid dogma, this program is perfect for teachers who want to learn the context of practice and teaching methods and who are willing to work with concepts over time so that they grow increasingly able to express their understanding authentically rather than mechanically.

This integrative approach considers yoga as an educational process that draws forth the wisdom of the Spiritual Heart, the Intellect, the Emotions, and the Body in ever-expanding and creative expressions.
Over the past few years, students have asked for a training program that would help them:
- deepen their philosophical understanding,
- clarify their anatomical knowledge,
- enhance their ability to teach alignment in asana with both inspiration and precision,
- and provide a personal learning community for support and connection.
Taught from basic principles, not rigid dogma, this program is perfect for teachers who want to learn the context of practice and teaching methods and who are willing to work with concepts over time so that they grow increasingly able to express their understanding authentically rather than mechanically.
This program is for you if:
- *You want to develop yourself through practice, study, and community;
- *You completed a 200-hour program that left you feeling like you just scratched the surface of yoga and teaching yoga;
- *You can’t travel for trainings and workshops, and you still want to expand your knowledge and continue your education;
- *Online study has been hard for you due to tie constraints, long lectures, and appointments to keep.
- *You want a structure in which to learn with the freedom to incorporate the teaching according to your own individual needs and perspectives;
- *You are looking for new and creative ways to approach teacher training in your community. Experienced teachers will appreciate the clarity and depth of Christina’s presentation and will find their own capacity will expand as a result of the course.
Basic Format
The Online Training is divided into four six-week modules: 1.) Aim High, 2.) The Pulse, 3.) Life at the Core, and 4.) The Offering.
The first week of each module will have a philosophical emphasis. The second week will focus on Anatomical/Alignment principles. The third week will emphasize Asana Studies. The fourth week will prioritize Teaching Methods. Each module will incorporate two full weeks of integration to allow you time to optimize your learning without falling behind or getting overwhelmed. Christina will provide optional, suggested homework assignments to assist you in deepening your understanding throughout the course.
What you will get:
- 3 weekly lessons designed to take 15-20 minutes each;
- Lessons will be comprised of lectures, writings, practices, and assignments you can incorporate immediately into your life and your teaching work;
- Lessons will be posted on a password protected online classroom with easy-to-download links so that you can have access to the material for as long as you need it;
- At the end of each module, Christina will compile all the lessons into a downloadable PDF so that you will have all the materials in one place for current and future use without becoming overwhelmed with multiple downloads.
- Lessons will integrate both theory and practice and incorporate the interconnected domains of the Spirit, the Intellect, the Emotions, and the Body;
- 4 30-minute live webinars (1 per module) where you can ask questions and connect with Christina and other group members. These are also recorded and downloadable so you do not have to be present to benefit;
- A Q&A forum for ongoing discussion and community connection;
- A short personal call at the start of the program with Christina and a short personal call at the end of the program with Christina;
- AND MORE!
