IT'S TIME TO STEP INTO YOUR TRUEST SELF
WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY YOGA?
Contemporary Yoga is a style of yoga inspired by different teachings and methodologies  created with the intent to provide something for everyone.  Our mission is to be a guide and facilitator in helping others to find the worthiness to practice, heal and grow.  When you come to a Contemporary Yoga experience, the focus is on you, the student.  Most teachers of other styles teach using their own bodies as an example of what to do or what not to do. However, we know our students' experience isn’t about us as teachers. It’s about each person who comes to learn, move and explore. The way we teach highlights just that, and it is reflected in the way we thoughtfully structure classes, the empowerment we offer in guiding movements and the music we bring. Which sheds light on one of the distinct differences of our style - incorporating modern music. Continue reading to learn even more.
WHY CYTT?
Contemporary Yoga Teacher Training (CYTT) offers a thorough education in both the lineage of Yoga as well as the development of many modern styles you see today. Â Â We delve deep into anatomy and the biomechanics of what makes Yoga different from other forms of fitness. We focus heavily on the fact that Yoga itself is so much deeper than the physical postures we practice. It is spiritual, emotional and it is life changing. CYTT is a self-to-soul connecting experience that is honored for you as a student of SCY and expounded upon how to provide for your future students as a yoga teacher.
You will not only be given the skills to teach in our studio, but you will be equipped with the knowledge to teach anywhere in the world. Â You will also be given the opportunity to grow deeper into your own yoga practice. Â Music is such an integral part of our yoga experiences. In fact, there is a science behind the music we choose and the classes we design. You will learn how to create, intelligently sequence and curate music in a playlist to deliver meaningful, unique and moving classes.
NOT ONLY FOR YOGA TEACHERS
Whether you are being pulled to teach yoga, or you are craving a deeply transformative shift in your own personal practice, CYTT offers the safe container for an illuminative experience that extends well beyond your yoga mat. In other words, there is space for you in CYTT.
No matter your driving force for taking this course you can be sure you will leave more connected to yourself and your community.

WHO IS THE 300HR COURSE FOR?
The Contemporary Yoga 300hr program is specifically built for those who have already hold their 200RYT. If you have already taken a 200hr Yoga Alliance accredited course from another yoga school, then this training is for you!
DETAILS
This course is for those ready to take the next step in their yoga teaching career. Where the 200hr CYTT course focuses on the history of yoga, how to create an intelligient yoga class, and the foundations of guiding your students through movement, the 300hr CYTT course dives even deeper into the meaning of yoga, as well as offers a deep, transformative experience through the art and importance of mentorship.
​
This course will guide you to a deeper connection with your authentic voice as a teacher by placing you in a mentorship role. We will focus heavily on giving you more offerings you can add to your teaching repertoire. You will learn the specific Contemporary Yoga system (if you have not already taken the 200hr course), as well as new styles of Contemporary Yoga offered only in the 300hr course. Meditation, business tools to up-level your teaching career, and intensive anatomy and biomechanics of yoga will also be focus in this course. You will also learn and connect to the art of theming your yoga classes in order to deliver much more than a yoga class, but a beautiful yoga experience that will help guide your students to true empowerment and self-healing.
This Fall 2021 Utah CYTT will focus on dropping you into a role of a mentor as you will work and learn alongside 200hr trainees. Since CY is a very specific style, you will learn how to structure and execute these unique yoga experiences with 200hr trainees, but will be doing so through more extensive modalities such as leading yoga labs, leading lectures, and teaching yoga classes throughout the training to those in the 200hr course.
