Melanie Emlyn | 500hr ARYT Yoga Teacher + Manual Osteopath
“The 300-hour training was everything I was looking for. As a Manual Osteopath, I’m very passionate about injury prevention and support and Clara educated us on the newest research regarding incorrect movements and common injures we’re seeing in the industry today.
Clara taught us what we can do as teachers to support our students through proper alignment, cueing and how to carefully craft a proper sequence that prepares the body and supports the intention. We learned how to find inspiration, flesh out theming that feels authentic to us and create impactful Bhavana (mood/atmosphere.)”

Refine Your Teaching
*You must have a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate to participate in this module.*
What will be covered:
-
Clara will teach you how to create holistic vinyasa classes based not only on peak poses but also on how to create Bhavana (mood) classes for all levels based on Shiva Rea’s Prana Flow Wave theory. Each participant will teach two classes to their peers during the whole program and will have the opportunity to receive feedback from their peers and Clara.
-
Exploring the different kramas/stages of peak poses from the most fundamental variation to the most advanced. We will cover inversions, backbends, binds and arm balances along with any poses requested by participants.
-
NEW** Based off Shiva Rea’s Mandala Namaskars, these sequences move the students in a circle around their mats. .
-
How to create an open level class from start to finish including theme, language and closing.
-
How to create a safe environment for not only your students but also yourself. You will be given tools to create clear boundaries, deal with “problem” students and learn how to hold our own among the politics of yoga communities.
-
The sister science of Yoga. What is it, and why is it useful to the Yogi? We will go over the doshas, how they are affected by the seasons, the daily rituals (dinacharya), abhyanga (self-massage), and what to eat/avoid depending upon our own constitution and the time of year.
-
For those who are taking the whole program, you will be paired up in Module 1 with a fellow participant to mentor each other for 6 months. You will share your goals, as a teacher, and support each other to work towards them. You will take each other’s classes once a month and provide feedback. If you do not live in the same city, you will record your class and send it to your co-mentee for feedback.
-
We will cover different mantras, their meanings, how to pronounce them properly and how to lead our students through them. We will also have a daily meditation practice, learning different techniques and how to guide our students through them.
-
Upon registration, you will be given a booklist. We will review 1-2 texts each day. Included in this list are the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Myth of Freedom, Tantra, Chakras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and a few others. We will dissect their meanings, discuss our experience of the readings, and go over how to apply them to the public class setting.
-
We will study different pranayama techniques, their effects, how to teach them and why they are beneficial. Everyone will practice teaching the group and receive feedback.
-
In keeping with the theme of a sustained practice, guest teacher Erin Moon, ERYT 500 & C-IAYT 800, will share the biomechanics that come into play in different postures and how that manifests so differently in the incredible biodiversity that appears in every person and therefore class we teach. She will help us to explore how we can make fundamental changes in the body, exploring the bio-psyco-social approach. We will learn about: anatomy of the breath, anatomy of the nervous system, tissue biology and exercise science.
-
How to stay inspired as a teacher can be hard. We will go over different ways to stay creative, engaged and fulfilled as not only teachers but also practitioners.
-
You will learn modifications and alternatives for pregnant women for all three trimesters.
-
An introduction to this powerful practice and how to incorporate it into the cooling/lunar part of a vinyasa class.
-
Understanding our own stories and how we work with them in our practice, teaching and life.

“I completed Clara's 300-hour Program, and it exceeded all of my expectations.
Clara's training helped me break out of my comfort zone by giving me the skills to teach aspects of the practice that I wasn't previously confident in, such as leading mantra for a group.
Following Clara's training, I have been able to step into the role of offering continuing education for other yoga teachers in my community.
I'm so glad I chose to continue my yogic studies with Clara as it was the perfect step to help challenge me and push me towards growth as a teacher.”

“I highly recommend Clara’s 300-Hour Program to anyone with an interest in vinyasa, or who is intending to teach this style to others.
Clara taught us with precision and creativity to design sequences that make sense and feel beautiful. We explored the art of teaching advanced postures with skill and the safety of students in mind. We learned to teach through kramas, stages of the process, to meet students where they are at.”
Patti Schidlowsky M.C. 200 HR RYT + Mental Health Counselor
“Clara’s 300-Hour Teacher Training taught me to ask the “why” in sequencing classes.
Clara inspired me to ask questions like: What is my purpose of including this pose? Does it align with my intention?Does it fit with the flow of the class?
The knowledge I gained in this training aligns with my aspirations as a teacher and human being.”
FAQs
How long should I have been practicing yoga before attending?
We recommend at least 2 years of Vinyasa (Flow) yoga practice so that you have a basic understanding of all the poses, of your body and the general format for flow classes.Will we practice yoga daily?
Yes, there will be a 2-hour class led by Clara and, on many days, an extra class led by your peer.How much hands-on experience will I get?
You will start practicing teaching each other immediately. You will teach a 60-minute class during the course.How many students do you accept?
We allow for about 12-16 participants in the training depending upon location. We like everyone to have a chance to contribute throughout the training, and a smaller group means more connection!Do I need a 200-hour Certificate to participate?
To take the full program, yes. We ask that all participants have a 200-hour Certificate for Modules 1 + 2 as these modules build on what you previously learned. Module 3 is open for anyone to attend.Can I take the modules out of order?
Yes! The modules can be taken separately and do not need to be taken in order as they each stand alone in what they offer. To receive the 300-Hour Program Certificate, you must do all 3 modules, but when and in what order does not matter.Can I take this training even if I don’t want to teach yoga?
Absolutely! You can soak in all the studies and practices without writing the exam or practice-teaching. It’s an incredible opportunity to explore the deepest aspects of yourself, either way. And we often find that many people end up realizing during the course, that they were in fact passionate about teaching all along!How should I prepare for the training?
Read all the books, take yoga classes at least 3 times per week and watch your inbox for homework from us! You will receive your manual on Day 1.What happens if I have to miss a few days?
We cannot allow for more than two days missed, unfortunately (outside of emergency situations). For the time that must be missed, there will be extra assignments and class observations to help make up for contact hours.When does the training fill up?
This is something we cannot predict, we recommend reserving your spot when you have decided. We usually sell out 30 days prior to the start date.
