Lives Touched in a Moment - and Transformed Forever

Baron Baptiste's Teacher's Bootcamp is an exclusive hands-on opportunity for those who understand that a yoga teacher's deepest responsibility - and ultimate reward - is the ability to transform the lives of individuals seeking physical and spiritual growth - leading them to a healthier state of existence.

Teacher's Bootcamp is an environment of extraordinary standards. A total Immersion in which you and your peers will demand more of yourselves and each other than anyone could reasonably expect - and grow more than you could ever imagine.

Teacher's Bootcamp is not for everybody. There will be an application process to determine admittance. It is not an opportunity to learn traditional yoga philosophy and history. It is an opportunity to learn how to meld the perfect blend of technical knowledge and radiant spirituality into your teaching style. The focus will be on all aspects of teaching and living the principles of yoga within a contemporary context and language. It is an exclusive opportunity to grow, connect, and contribute to your overall growth as a teacher and/or as a person.

You will be expected to show up at your best - every minute of every day. Your reward will be the certainty that you are meeting your highest goals and dreams about who you are and who you are capable of becoming as a teacher of Power Vinyasa Yoga. As Shakespeare said: "You know who you are, but know not who you could be." Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to spend one week with Baron Baptiste.

About the Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga (BPVY) Style

We offer world class yoga instruction that adapts the practices and processes to individual needs. We give emphasis to clear language and a strategic technique that makes power vinyasa yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level, age, experience or background.

The Baptiste Method of Yoga was founded in the 1940's by Walt Baptiste and has constantly evolved to stay current with contemporary needs. The physical aspects of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga style are inspired by the hatha yoga teachings of Krishnamacharya and his students Iyengar and Desikachar.

Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga emphasizes training the mind, establishing self-esteem, opening up to grace, the integration of breath and movement, focus on technical and biomechanical knowledge, adapting each asana to unique individual needs, and building effective and clear themes that deepen the student's experience and understanding of a transformational personal practice.

The Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga practice provides a metaphoric experience to discover more about personal power, self-esteem, personal boundaries, safety, self-acceptance, inner surrender and responsibility.

Yoga and Meditation practice are used experientially and metaphorically to encourage participants to reclaim their full potential; discover creativity, find passion, and experience confidence and caring about the body in order to live in higher alignment and to share their experience with others.

What a treat to meet so many wonderful folks and to realize that they were going through many of the same challenges I was going through as well as the many breakthroughs. I plan on attending additional bootcamps with my wife and several of our kids when time and financing allow. I am more committed to my own personal practice as a result of the training."
