Deeper study

“Teacher Training without the Teaching part” is what I had wanted to name this training :) I’ve honestly taught too many teacher trainings. Most students that I teach that love the practice of yoga and who want to learn more want to learn some sanskrit, some yoga philosophy, some yoga history, why different teachers teach the exact same pose in seemingly different or even opposite ways and, learn enough anatomy to understand their personal practice…this is what these 4 weekends of Deeper Study are about starting January 2024. Below are a few testimonials and, if you’d like to learn more and sign up, click here. This is also a great training for those already teaching. You’ll be able to explain things to your students in a simple way that they will truly progress and…how about spending some time on your own practice for a change :) See you on your mats!

"Taking the time and enrolling in Renée's deeper study was a sheer privilege. Not only was it fun to geek out on yoga for 10 weekends, but Renée took the time to answer every question every student had. We learned from each other. I unlocked poses where I felt stuck. I also feel more confident now in sharing my practice and what I know about yoga with others." - Shari

“Without a doubt, the best training I've done! The comprehensive curriculum is rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy while staying true to the tradition and philosophy of yoga. It allowed me to safely deepen and grow my practice, and the knowledge I gained has stayed with me for years after! Highly recommend!” - Daniel

“I took Renée's deeper dive in the fall of 2021 when at the time I was about 15 years into my practice and 5 years into teaching. The information and honest dialogue Renée provided has fundamentally shifted how I approach my practice and how I teach others. I found myself at times feeling I was starting from scratch but also advancing my knowledge in understanding of this practice in key ways I had been missing. One of the best takeaways I took from this training was to respect the tradition and where you are in it. Renée shared what she did know and acknowledged what she didn't. She did not try to frame her training to be a know-it-all guru but was sincere and honest in sharing what she has learned over time and how to apply that knowledge in ways that are truly tangible to anyone. I truly believe anyone taking this course will enhance their practice and their sharing of it for the better.” - Caliegh

All live classes are taught online (from Lisboa, Portugal :) via https://www.yogaclubboston.com (please see schedule page and, there are over 150 recorded classes on that site as well). I have to admit I love teaching online. The most wonderful thing has been so many students have been practicing MORE - practicing online is cheaper (yogaclubboston.com $39/mo), it’s more convenient (you don’t have to remember your water bottle, or pack your bag, lug your mat around), no plan / no packing just your practice, when life is in the way and you have to leave early…you can, I’d always rather you practice a little than not at all :). I’ve been teaching for almost 20 years now and I’ve never seen students progress and practice this much, it’s beautiful. Please feel free to email me with any questions you have about practicing online ;) (renee@reneeleblancyoga.com)

My classes are a vinyasa flow based on ashtanga that will challenge you to explore the boundaries of your physical and mental edge with a sense of focus and concentration as well as a sense of humor. I’m a student first. My teaching is guided by attention to alignment - from good alignment comes incredible strength as well as flexibility. This is how my incredible teachers have taught me - Krista Cahill and Brock Cahill opened my eyes to a much fuller understanding of the practice and why good alignment isn’t just so you do the poses “right” :) but you do them with integrity. Yoga postures are more than physical. The concentration and breathing necessary to do the poses with good alignment are (for me at least) the most complete way you can take care of your body, mind and, soul.
