Yoga Instructor Continuing Education

Soul Farm is committed to continuing the tradition of Yoga, with a Midwest twist. Judi Harvin, E-RYT500, YACEP, is the owner of Soul Farm, and a yoga instructor with nearly 25 years of teaching experience. Judi has led a over a dozen teacher trainings, and many CE workshops as well. 

 

There’s no better place to open your mind to new ideas and meet kindred spirits than Soul Farm. Nature is the basis of our yoga here, and the woods, fields, and equine residents will support your growth as much as the teachings
and time with fellow instructors.

 

Soul Farm’s continuing education for instructors offers daylong workshops, or mini retreats to recharge and refresh while we hone our skills and learn new ones. We plan to schedule trainings for summer 2025 soon!

Yoga Instructor Day – a Day of Collaboration 

Saturday, June 7, 2025

10am – 3pm

Fee: $75

 

When a personal practice transitions into a teaching vocation, it can create stresses on a yogi. Even though you love teaching, the practice can become less a nourishing refuge and more about serving others, commitments, and the occasional insecurities. It’s important that an instructor continue to renew, and regular time exchanging ideas with other instructors can help. 

 

This day can offer collaboration and idea shares about:

  • Specific poses that are teaching challenges
  • Cueing refinements
  • Handling specific class complications and dynamics (We all have students that, while wonderful, present challenges. Your peers can help!)
  • Fresh ways to use props
  • Working with studios…getting classes, what are going rates, etc
  • How to stay fresh and motivated
  • Helpful resources to share (books, teachers, website, etc.)

I will be collecting a list of specific topics to discuss from you prior to class, and fashion a rough schedule for the day to provide structure. There is so much we could discuss, so we will give priority to your most important topics!

A vegetarian lunch will be served.

Yoga Immersion and Optional 200 Hour Teacher Training

September 2025 – June 2026

This fall, a new training for all who love Yoga

Do you see yourself in any of the below?

  • I “do” yoga, but I want to deepen my practice and learn more about this 3,000 year old spiritual science. I don’t intend to become a teacher, so doing a 200 hour training is not what I am looking for right now.
  • I do want to become a confident, certified yoga teacher. There are 200 hour trainings offered completely online, but that’s not my learning style. I need a supportive environment with real human beings and solid feedback.
  • I’m already a yoga teacher, but I’d like to improve my teaching skills and earn Yoga Alliance CEUs. Rather than attending a bunch of random trainings, I’m looking for a comprehensive, coordinated program focusing on cueing skills, sequencing and professional topics.

How can one program work for all of these situations? The answer is Modules.

This training is divided into two modules.

The first, Yoga Immersion will deepen your personal practice.

Add the second module, Teaching Skills, to become a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher.

Plus, you can take either or both modules if you’re already certified and want to become an even more effective teacher.

We have designed this program for deeply guided learning and flexibility. In-person classes will meet in Batavia, Illinois to provide community and ensure personal and accurate feedback. The balance of the classes will be provided online, both live and prerecorded, reducing travel and maximizing convenience.

Check in often!
