RAINBOW FAMILY & COMMUNITY YOGA - 200 HOUR TEACHER TRAINING
July 28 - August 20, 2011 Location: Ebbio Agriturismo, TUSCANY, ITALY
The 200-hour Rainbow Family & Community Yoga Teacher Training is a fun, enriching and intensive Yoga experience. We will study and practice for about 8-9 hours a day, but there will still be some free time for relaxation and fun! Each week there will be one full day to explore the beautiful Tuscan countryside, field trips and/or just relaxing in the Ebbio grounds and surroundings.

with the US Yoga Alliance, as well as a Registered Yoga School

The Rainbow Family Yoga 200hr Teacher Training is intensive and requires full participation.
You don't have to be a yoga teacher to take the course, but you must have a regular yoga practice. In a competitive world, where there are hundreds and sometimes thousands of yoga teachers in every city, we want to offer you the best start. We believe that to be a successful yoga teacher you need to have passion and knowledge, but also a specialization.
This training is a wonderful way to start your yoga career - if it’s your first yoga teacher training -
or it can be a way to specialize - if you are already a yoga teacher. We will also attempt to open your mind and heart, and to empower you to become part of the constant evolution of yoga.
We are the present of yoga, but you are the future!
After successful completion of the teacher training requirements, you will be certified to teach all of the following:
- Yoga for Kids
