Course Details

This 7-day training course is designed for certified Yoga instructors and sign language interpreters who desire to share Yoga within the Deaf and hard of hearing community. You will learn and explore various teaching/interpreting techniques and vocabulary through daily asana classes and classical philosophy lectures. Guided by DeafYoga Foundation pioneer, Lila Lolling, this intensive course allows you to deepen your own practice and provides insight into how to unite the Deaf community and Yoga. You must be able to comfortably communicate in ASL. If you wish to teach yoga to Deaf community members, you must already be a certified yoga instructor. Yoga Alliance accreditation is not required.

Arrival and Departure

Please plan to arrive at the Yoga Retreat at least one day before the start of the course and to leave at least one day after the course completion.

We recommend that you spend at least a few days in the Yoga Retreat before the start of your course. This allows your body and mind time to rest, re-energize and be nourished by the ashram environment. You can then begin your study feeling relaxed and refreshed. You may also wish to stay for some days after the end of the course to allow the learning from your study to integrate more fully into your consciousness within the supportive environment of the ashram. If you decide to arrive early and to stay longer, please register for the Yoga Vacation Program for those additional days. Please see calendar of events for guest programs on offer around the time of your visit.
