Early Preparation is Key!
Clayton Yoga believes early preparation is one of the great keys to success in this field of study. Before the start of each yoga teacher training course, it is required therefore, that every student complete the following pre-course work.Next step is to purchase your materials. To purchase all recommended prep materials and review (cost $90). They are five materials in total to acquire. Yin Yoga, Paul Grilley, Anatomy of Yoga by Paul Grilley, Ashtanga by David Swenson and Yoga Nidra Audio by Richard Miller. And finally, Bhagavad Gita by Stephen Mitchell. The links to purchase these materials are listed here: http://claytonyogainternational.com/course-preparation/.
Now, print out the Yoga Manual. Start to read through the very interesting pages and exercises that follow. It is not required but certainly helpful to print out and bind together all 200 pages!
