Why study with Rebecca Sirman Yoga at ESY:
Immerse yourself in everything yoga during this 200hr intensive. You will deepen and strengthen your practice by learning about the anatomy of poses and you'll become familiar with alignment, prop use and injury modifications. By the end of the training, you’ll understand a range of yoga poses in-depth, and be able to teach those poses to individuals with various levels of yoga practice. You'll learn to weave yogic philosophy with asana, pranayama, and meditation; honouring the history and tradition of the centuries old-practice of yoga, while also recognizing that we exist in the 21st century.
There will be plenty of opportunity to gain practical teaching experience throughout the course, you’ll put what you learn into practice, teaching asana that incorporates breath, movement, and meditation while also discovering and growing your own 'voice' so that you can teach confidently and authentically.
You will learn lots and work hard in a fun, practical and accessible way.
About Rebecca:
Based in Ocean City Maryland, Rebecca has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Washington College and a Master of Arts in School Psychology from University of Delaware. She first began to practice yoga as a way to counteract inflexibility from years of competitive swimming and long distance running. Wanting to learn more about the discipline, she earned both her 200 and 300 hour yoga teacher training certifications with Kim Manfredi at Charm City Yoga (now YogaWorks) in Baltimore, Maryland. Rebecca is E-RYT 500, YACEP certified and has also completed over 100 hours of advanced study with Jason Crandell, where she met and studied with Ailith Anderson (founder of East Side Yoga). Rebecca has been leading teacher trainings since 2017 throughout Maryland and Delaware.
