2010 Yoga and Ayurveda Wellness Teacher Training
November 15 –December 23, 2010 ~ Kilauea, Kauai, Hawaii

The training is a 6 week course with classes 5-6 days per week.

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
Of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
To allow my living to open me,
To make me less afraid,
More accessible,
To loosen my heart
Until it becomes a wing,
A torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
To live so that which came to me as seed
Goes to the next as blossom,
Goes on as fruit.
~ Dawna Markova

Student Testimonials

"Myra was instrumental in expanding my understanding of Yoga, pranayama, widening the dimensions of my meditation practice, enriching the flavors of my asanas, and giving me, in the most assimilable way, the skills to begin teaching other people meditation." ~G. Golding, Madison WI

"Being with Myra was a place where I could begin to answer my own deepest questions. Myra teaches in a clear concise manner that allows you to digest the yogic teachings and integrate them into your being and everyday actions. Myra truly glows and you cannot help but to be eternally lit by her essence. It was in meeting and being given the time to spend in study with Myra that I truly began to believe in God. It was the simplicity of relating the teachings to everyday life, that Myra was able to set an example of a life in the western world devoted to union with the divine. Myra teaches great tools to use in my now everyday progress toward understanding myself and my higher power. If anyone out there truly wants to live a life toward yoga, Myra will assist you in creating your own path by showing you the possibilities."
~ A. Nelson, BC Canada

"The teacher training I received through Myra took me on a journey of self-development and exploration that I never thought possible. As a combat veteran, the philosophical readings and discussions connected to places in myself I had forgotten even existed. The Baghavad Gita and life's eternal inner and outer battles and questions posed by Arjuna to Sri Krishna refocused my spiritual search and understanding of where I want my life to focus. Myra's classes continually reinforced the concept that for us to be able to effectively teach, we must first understand ourselves."

"Twelve weeks of exploring and teaching asana, fascinating classroom discussions, healing therapy, pranayama, meditation, Ayurvedic philosophy, and absorbing the Yoga lifestyle passed much too fast. The one hour walks before class, six incredibly motivated classmates, field trip to see the Dalai Lama speak, Sunday class surfing trips, and learning to cook and eat in the Ayurvedic style was an experience of self-discovery. I lost twenty pounds and feel stronger and healthier than any time in my life. Passing through the psychic pain of self-realization, Myra guided me to accept what I can do as my best, have no expectations of the future, never take myself too seriously, laugh frequently and enjoy life's blessings now." ~ Bob Mikell, Kula, HI

"One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touch our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is a vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of a child." ~ Carl Jung
