TRAINING INTENSIVE
In American Power Yoga we use different physical challenges taken from many practices of Yoga, Kung Fu, and Qi Gung, as well as the very latest in Western rehabilitation. This allows us to replicate the mental, emotional, and physical challenges we all face, each day. We condition the body while strengthening the mind.
I strongly believe, by making our mind strong and flexible enough to successfully deal with the ever changing daily challenges, it will lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. I also try to infuse elements of all the branches of classical yoga within the practice, by reminding the practitioners of the importance of taking care of themselves daily (devotion), educating them on the ancient laws of energy and the latest studies on Western medicine (knowledge), urging them to use their strength and compassion to assist others (service), and encouraging them to see each class as a meditation. Because we hold on to the traditional values of this practice, in many ways I consider us, new "traditionalists." Kurt Johnson Founder of American Power Yoga

American Power Yoga-Intensive Training is over 200 hours of study designed to help individuals understand the diverse tools, philosophies, and knowledge that APY offers through its yoga practice. The program meets on the weekends and is extremely flexible, built for those with full-time jobs.

Testimonials
"The APY intensive program got me in the best shape mentally and physically of my life."
"I have taken two other yoga intensives and have learned more in this training than the other two combined."
APY's yoga Intensive Training was one of the best experiences ever. Not only did I grow and condition my body physically, but mentally as well. I increased my self awareness allowing me to have more compassion for others. The physical challenges of yoga are the same as the realities of life. And learning to breathe through these situations is the most important"
"I have paid for a lot of self-development courses, been through some "transformational" work, have read and studied ancient philosophy and "New-Thought" ideas, but the APY Intensive Training encompasses things that directly affect my day-to-day life and living experience. Through this training I have become physically and mentally stronger, healthier, fit and a lot more conscious of what I put into my body and my mind. I am surrounded by more authentic, caring people because I have learned to be more authentic and caring myself"
"This intensive training is Life Training."
