About Authentic Teacher Training at Urban Yoga :

 "If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire  human community and which yields happiness both here and herafter - if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental  and spiritual happiness,  and our minds will flood towards the Self. "
                                                 - Guruji, Sri  K. Pattabhi Jois

ABOUT ASTANGA
In the astanga vinyasa system, postures are linked together by flowing movement (vinyasa).  The joining of the vinyasa with the gaze (drsti), the breath (pranayama) and the energy “locks” (bandha) is a powerful discipline for cultivating physical, mental and spiritual health.  The practice cleanses, stretches and strengthens the body as well as focuses and calms the mind.  With consistent practice, we realize a deeper experience of the self.   Learning from the Astanga Vinyasa system to create a solid foundation, students will be able to teach many different styles of yoga, including but not limited to: astanga, vinyasa flow, power, and hatha.

ABOUT OUR PHILOSOPHY
At its core, our practice, teaching and philosophy is based on presenting students with direct experience.  We serve the individual student by presenting methods that allow each student to see through the workings of our own minds, to ground our experience in the present moment, and to develop a clear and compassionate understanding of the ideas and beliefs which support how we live our daily lives.  A fundamental aim of the teaching at Authentic Teacher Training is for us all to keep an open mind  --  there is no dogma here.  We both honor and refresh the traditions of the astanga vinyasa system, making the practice applicable and accessible all.  We encourage students to read, to contemplate, to question.  We encourage students to experience other traditions and lineages to challenge, to critique and to refine our physical practice, to expand our minds, and to open our hearts.
 
ABOUT  OUR CLASSES
Yoga classes offered by Dave and Cheryl include teachings that go beyond just the postures.  Stories, sanskrit language and chants are generally mixed into the classes, strengthening not only your body, but your mind and spirit as well.  All teachers on our schedule and involved in the training are highly qualified, compassionate and knowledgeable teachers who offer a variety of diverse classes and backgrounds. 
 
ABOUT OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR TEACHERS             
At Authentic Teacher Training at Urban Yoga, we honor our teachers in all of their  beautiful  diversity.  We are commited to bringing together the best teachers in the valley for our classes and also celebrate the vast world community of yoga with guest teachers from across the globe for workshops and special class offerings.
