WOOM YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

OCTOBER 3 – DECEMBER 20, 2020

The program covers and breaks down into detail the various elements that
create the WOOM Yoga Experience. Primarily, a deep dive into the physical
and esoteric aspects of yoga and sound, and how to integrate them into one
cohesive transformative practice.

The program is led by WOOM Yoga Director Francesca Bove and co-founders
Elian and David Zach-Shemesh. Together with two master teachers (aka, The
Masters), our senior WOOM Guides and panel of visiting lecturers (aka, The
Guest Stars), and our group of devoted mentors (aka, The Spirit Guides), you
will learn to incorporate the therapeutic qualities of vinyasa yoga with sound
vibration to create challenging and nurturing sequences.

The WOOM CENTER Yoga Teacher Training provides a blueprint for
integrating the physical, psychological, spiritual and mystical aspects of yoga,
meditation, and sound vibration into life, and tools on how to share this
experience with others.

The program meets and exceeds yoga alliance 200 hour requirements, and
will allow you to register as a 200 hour YA-certified teacher upon completion.

Why WOOM?

The WOOM Yoga Experience is a complete mind-body-spirit immersion
combining the therapeutic properties of vinyasa yoga and sound vibration.

Our signature experiences include vocal toning, the use of overtone-emitting
instruments, and a strong focus on creative asana sequencing and repetition.
Hands-on assists, blindfolded segments, our essential oil mist, and fresh
elixirs, and an audio/visual system are also featured in order to facilitate a
stimulating, sense-enhancing environment for the practice.

Seamlessly blending ancient practices of yoga and meditation with a futuristic
flavor for technology, the method creates a space for practitioners to
experience expanded states of consciousness and cultivate a passion for the
complexity of the journey, the simplicity of its essence, and the undeniable
connection of everything and everyone.
