Mark Blanchard's Progressive Power Yoga
Teacher Certification Program and Progressive Power Yoga Franchise
Information
Unlike other teacher training programs
which produce yoga "instructors" by
the thousands, this program is quite unique. For starters,
to be forthright, even if you spend the money, go through the
training and spend the apprentice hours refining your technique,
we still cannot guarantee that you will be awarded our certificate
of completion. Our franchises may only be sold to and run by
certified instructors. The impartation of knowledge from instructor
to an up and coming instructor is sacred in nature and requires
diligence in implementation or the title and the teaching lose
their value entirely. Would you not agree? Anything else is
a profit-motivated diploma mill... and life is too short to
invest time in such frivolities.
Certification requires 6 consecutive weekends plus an additional
three classes at the studio per week. A two month, unpaid apprenticeship
follows complete with all forms of instructor/student interaction
that is supervised by a Mark Blanchard and a Progressive Power
Yoga instructor.
A host of tools are included with the teachings. Philosophy,
human interaction, yoga training, transitions between poses,
formatting workouts, combinations of flowing postures, studies
of human physiology and the seven energy centers of the body
are only a few of the myriad of topics that are covered throughout
the program. Quite simply, Progressive Power Yoga is a lifestyle,
mindset, physical and mental practice that requires time and
patience to absorb and prepare to impart that knowledge to
others. We do not make our regimen more difficult than others
to prove a point, we do it because it is the right way to do
things and we see little value in doing anything less than
than the way it should be done.
Many people can be taught how to run through a series of postures.
Some might even be adept enough to lead others through the
same routine as a drum majorette leads the marching band through
the parade. This program is about understanding the students,
what motivates them, how to enhance their experience and inspire
them to progress to greater yogic practices. Anyone can sculpt
a great butt or sexy abs. But very few can lead a student into
a deeply focused experience. One that pushes them to truly
excel to greater and greater accomplishments.
We do not mean to be snooty or sound self important when we
offer the caveat that a student could study through the entire
program and not receive our official certification. We genuinely
want everyone who attempts this goal to achieve it. But we
are very brand-conscious and if we put the Progressive Power
Yoga trademark behind a person, then it has to mean something
to them or we have labored in vein.
We invite you to contact us to learn more about the deeply
rewarding instructor certification program. The full range
of methodologies taught, positions learned, techniques mastered
and thoughts imparted are far too numerous to list at this
site. You can rest assured that if you opt for this path in
life, you will walk the planet a different person when you
are done. Give us a call, we would be happy to answer any and
all questions you may have.
Namaste,
Mark
