Aura Wellness Center’s Yoga Teacher Training is currently in progress at our Attleboro, MA facility, located at:
21 Park Street, Suite 202, in downtown Attleboro.
Experienced Yoga Teachers, Yoga Teacher interns, and serious students, may attend any Yoga Teacher Workshops (See Schedule)
Our next Yoga Teacher certification course begins on September 10, 2010. Candidates should have, at least, two years of steady training in Aura’s Restorative Hatha Yoga Style or comparable training within a similar style. Restorative Yoga is a gentle style that fits the needs of everyone. Client safety is our number one concern.
We meet the 200 hour Yoga Teacher requirements, and contact hour guidelines, set by Yoga Alliance. The teacher trainer is Dr. Paul Jerard, E-RYT 500.
Yoga Teacher Training classes meet on Fridays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
You should make a commitment to be at all of the teacher training classes and go through an internship. Level I Yoga Teacher training is based on 200 hours of intensive study within the many aspects of Hatha Yoga.
Some flexibility can be built into your Yoga Teacher internship, based upon hours with your mentor and teaching Yoga classes. We will cover this on orientation night or you can call ahead.
Telephone 508-222-0092.
This Yoga certification program includes hands-on development with Paul Jerard, the Director of Yoga Teacher training, independent research, and the home-study of teacher texts. We adhere to the International standards for Yoga Teacher training hours.
All Yoga Teacher Training sessions are held with Dr. Paul Jerard, E-RYT 500.

Dear Paul and Marie,
I can’t thank you enough for the great experience I had during my teacher training at Aura Wellness. Your Teacher Training Program provided me with the tools to better understand Yoga, its meaning, its practice and best of all how to be a better teacher.
Your guidance and support throughout the program are invaluable as you were always available and patient to work with us one on one and address our concerns and questions. I look forward to pass on the knowledge and the kindness that you have provided me during my training.
Namaste
Rasha
Aura Yoga Teacher Training Graduate
