why “i/o” ? Inside Out Yoga School was named in a moment of recognition in a sushi bar in downtown Manhattan. All life moves with the pulsation of cloaking and revealing. We wake, we sleep, we dream. We move through illumined days and nights blanketed by darkness. We progress and we have standstill moments. We find life murky and then again we discover clarity. Yoga practices step in to the flow of Nature by continually going inside to find the essence so we can offer that authenticity out as a blessing to the world. Inside of each of us dwells a gem. It is the spark and shimmer of Divinity. That gem, the True Self, natural, deep and real is accessed by turning towards our yoga consciousness and then made manifest as an expression outside. what is taught? i/o Inside Out Yoga School at Exhale Our yoga teacher training program is for yoga students interested in becoming teachers as well as for serious students looking to enrich their understanding of the great philosophical tradition. The next session spans 6 months, from January 2009 through early June 2009. We meet one or two weekends per month. During each training session, our focus emphasizes foundational yoga philosophy and the vinyasa style of hatha yoga. Nixa De Bellis, Founder and Director of the i/o Yoga School, with a background in education and wellness, has refined this program from her 24 years of experience as a yoga practitioner, 9 years teaching yoga and 6 years of training teachers in New York City and in Tokyo. Nixa will lead the history and philosophy, pranayama, teaching methodology, therapeutic yoga and yoga lifestyle portions of the program. Other prominent teachers include Sam Chase managing the i/o sequencing segment and Stephanie Pieczenik from Mt. Sinai School of Medicine leading the anatomy and physiology workshops. Dana Strong and Diana Rilov come from the Iyengar tradition with workshops on asana, alignment and teaching beginners. Other special programs include prenatal yoga, yoga for athletes and yoga for seniors. Our philosophy course draws from the outside/in text of Patanjali's classical yoga and the tantric interpretation of the inside/out text of the Bhagavad Gita. Vijay Balakrishnan leads a stellar discourse on the Gita that is highly unusual and a unique opportunity of the enrichment and empowerment of yoga. $2600 Please inquire at nixa@yogaritual.com for dates, more information or for an application.
