I am excited to announce that Gentleyogi and The ComfortZone Center for Whole Self Healing are collaborating on offering a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training certification program!
And Yoga Alliance has just approved our application to be a Yoga Alliance registered Yoga School. So graduates of our training will become 200hr certified yoga teachers and also will be able to become a Yoga Alliance registered teacher, using the RYT 200 designation.
Ed and I are so excited about joining forces to offer this training. We are underway planning the training, it’s sessions and readings. And we are ready to receive applications. To learn more about the teacher training, click here http://www.comfortzoneyogacenter.com/wholeselfyogateachertraining.html. To request an application or to register, call Comfort Zone Center For Whole Self Healing at (866) 967-YOGA.
The first training will be two 13-day modules, April 18 – 30 and June 27 – July 9, 2010. This training is a collaboration between Rudy Peirce and Ed and Wendy Harrold. Ed and Wendy founded the ComfortZone in 2006 as a community center created to raise consciousness by raising awareness through a holistic approach to whole-self health and well-being. Their goal is “to bridge modern day health and medicine with holistic and ancient philosophy and techniques so we’re better equipped to handle our personal lives and the complexity of our culture today.
“The ComfortZone is a ‘whole self’ health and wellness center that’s enjoyed by our local community, in the beach resort of Lewes, Delaware, with daily yoga and fitness classes, equipped with locker room facilities, steam and sauna. The ComfortZone is also a retreat and training center which offers affordable and modest housing through a strategic partnership with local hotels and the Cape Henlopen State Park (which overlooks the confluence of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean). They also offer massage and Tuina bodywork services, Ayurveda and other healing services, a retail boutique with yoga clothing and accessories, meditation cushions, CDs, DVDs, books, gift items and more.
Ed and Rudy will be directing the training with exceptional faculty members: Amy Weintraub, Sat Bir Khalsa and Larissa Carlson. For Rudy this is the first time offering a YTT outside of his base at Kripalu. Though he has offered workshops around the country, a YTT is a huge life-changing experience, so it’s with great excitement that Rudy takes on the creation of this exceptional training. A resident staff member of Kripalu from 1982 – 1995 and a faculty member from 1988 to the present, he has taught yoga, developed many yoga programs, directed teacher trainings and a variety of programs including Gentle Yoga Retreats, Teaching the Deeper Practices, Yoga Teacher Mentor Certification training , and the Men’s Yoga Quest. Ed received his initial yoga teacher training at Kripalu. Ed started his professional career owning 2 yoga studios in NJ and eventually realized his dream in Lewes, DE with a large training and retreat facility known as Comfort Zone Center For Whole Self Healing. He has since been teaching and developing various programs such as Flexibility for athletes and Yoga for Weightloss.
In addition, Ed is the Director of a new medical project designed to redefine health care. These facilities are scheduled to open in 2010.
Bring your love for yoga and we’ll help you develop the skills necessary to teach yoga with your intuitive senses.
