Wainwright House Launches Yoga Training Academy

Wainwright House, the oldest Holistic Association in the US, has announced RYS 200 and 300 hour yoga teacher certification programs. These training programs will begin in late September.

In addition to Wainwright House programs including yoga classes, meditation classes, Qi Gong, Aikido, the 200 & 300 hour classes will be held for day students. Wainwright House also serves as a retreat center and can sleep up to 30 students, therefore an immersion retreat class will also be offered. Special certifications in Child, Kundalini, Prenatal, Restorative, Teen and Yin yoga are planned for the fall, winter and spring sessions.

“Wainwright House sits on five beautifully landscaped acres overlooking Milton Harbor and the Marshland Conservancy in Rye, NY. It is a stunning location to study anything, but especially yoga,” says its Executive Director Peggy Hill. Wainwright House Yoga Training Academy provides inspired students the chance to enrich their lives, expand their minds and join in the community of the heart (the Kula).

The 200 hour retreat style program will be taught by Robin Appel, a RYT 500 teacher and specializing Vinyasa-style yoga and Child yoga. She has taught at Kripalu, Omega, Integral Yoga Institute and Yoga Works. She currently owns and teaches at her own studios, “Always-At-Aum” and is delighted to bring her trainings to the Wainwright House.

The 200 hour immersion retreat will be held over two separate weeks; September 29th and January 12th. Students will live on the lovely grounds of the Wainwright House for this retreat. The training retreat will have time allotted for relaxation and bonding as well as specialized training and independent study. Please call (914) 967-6080 or visit www.wainwright.org for further details.

A more traditional 200 hour yoga teacher training intensive will be taught by Bernadette Birney, a RYT 500 teacher and life coach. She specializes in therapeutic, restorative and alignment based hatha yoga. Bernadette is known for knowledge of yoga, authenticity, precise articulation and lightheartedness. Her teacher trainings are infused with life-affirming philosophy that invites students into the exploration of their true potential.

This will be a four session course with the first five-day session beginning in October. Bernadette will open the training with an overnight introductory session to welcome students into the journey of the teacher training intensive. This hatha yoga teacher training program invites students to refine their own yoga practice while learning the art of alignment based yoga instruction. Participants of this intensive series have the option for housing but it is not required.
