Level 1 with Baron Baptiste
October 16-23, 2010
The Yucatan, Mexico
YOUR NEXT STEP, WHERE HIGH IMPACT TEACHERS ARE MADE
World Class Instruction.
Personalized Attention.
Total
Immersion.
An opportunity to join Baron Baptiste and a special group of people who
are ready to move deeper into themselves and into their own power. This is a process of
total immersion and transformation for those who want to teach and even for those who don't.
(By Acceptance ONLY!)
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. Don't wait. These
programs absolutely sell out in advance.

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.
Who Should Attend Teachers Bootcamp?
Anyone at any level of yoga experience who seeks a greater understanding
of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga and its multi-dimensional qualities of physical stature, mental
training, deeper spiritual connection and the life skills needed for continued personal and
professional growth and enrichment. Participants with as little as three months and as many as
thirty years experience have found this Journey Into Power Teacher Training Bootcamp immersion
process to be enlightening and deeply transformational. If you decide to attend (no matter what
your level of experience) it is essential that you show up at 100% and with a resolute commitment
to yourself and to this program!

"Teacher Training Level One has given me the confidence necessary to go out and teach my first yoga class. I am also more aware of the choices I make and how those decisions affect the rest of my life. Thanks to TT1 and my increased level of spiritual awareness I will make not only a better yoga teacher, but a better wife, daughter, sister and friend."

The practice, conversation, activities, and the supportive community created a safe and encouraging environment for me to connect to and uncover my authentic self. I left feeling lighter and brighter and the change within me is visible to my family, friends, and to my yoga students!"
-- Megan from Philadelphia
"I had a wonderful time. The workshop was very hard, not just physically but also very emotionally. My life at home has changed a lot. I am much more present and when I'm not, at least I have noticed that and the effects this has had on my day. I can see now why so many people keep coming back year after year."
