Wellness Teacher Training
September 17 - December 8, 2010 ~ Kauai, Hawaii
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
"It is the example
of a seasoned practitioner and masterful teacher who is living Yoga and
Ayurveda in all aspects of her life that moves me to study with Myra
Lewin ... her everyday actions speak for themselves"
~ student
You cannot transmit something you do not have. The ability to be present
as a teacher is a reflection of our own life practices. Know yourself
first, then you will intuitively see how you can be of benefit to
others. Myra shares experience, knowledge, skills, and insight that will
assist you in your personal practices and teaching. In this training you
have the opportunity to transform your commitment to your path in
Ayurveda and Yoga. New awareness's will result in increased
consciousness and an inner attunement from which flows inspired living
and teaching. Deepen your personal practices and explore how they relate
to your teaching. Learn how energy management and Ayurvedic principles
relate to teaching and all areas of your life. Shift away from habitual
patterns toward expansion and freedom in your Spiritual growth. Myra's
teaching is direct, individual, and compassionate, assisting you to see
your Self in a new light.
This intensive teacher training requires the majority of your attention
during the training. This course is much more than learning a few
postures. Please ask questions and be sure it is what you are looking
for.

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
