PROGRAM LEAD TEACHER Sarahjoy Marsh, MA, RYT and Program Director, in Portland, OR is dedicated to the heart’s awakening through yoga, meditation, and self-‐inquiry. Sarahjoy has been practicing yoga since 1989 and teaching since 1992. Her approach is encouraging, collaborative, and compassionate. She draws directly on her own life experiences, which include serious injury from a motor vehicle accident that required a total hip replacement at age 42, years spent living in intentional community at a dedicated retreat center, graduate studies in transpersonal counseling and art therapy, professional background in mental health with emotionally challenged adolescents and adults, early life challenges with disordered eating patterns and body image issues, years of teaching yoga in prisons and rehabilitation centers, years of personal practice with her teachers, and physical therapy mentorship from her colleagues at Therapeutic Associates, Inc. PART TWO CO-‐FACILITATOR: Jay Gregory, PhD is a clinical psychologist and has been in private practice for over 18 years. He works with anxiety disorders, pain management, and couples therapy. His previous work includes working at the Crisis Triage Center at the Portland Providence Medical Center as well as positions in the community mental health field. He is an avid proponent of the value of integrating the tools of yoga therapy into mental health settings, including private practice. He has co-‐facilitated the Professional Yoga Therapy Training for Mental Health Providers since 2012, delivers lectures on the intersection of yoga and love, and co-‐facilitates weekend retreats that explore the dilemmas of the human journey: the biological imperative to survive and the spiritual imperative to thrive; the neurologically wired urge to connect as well as differentiate, and patterned habits of defending that threaten to crowd out our longing to experience undefended love and belonging. 3 0110 S W B ancroft S treet Portland, O R 9 7239 503.552.YOGA (9642) www.SarahjoyYoga.com
PART TWO SUPPORTING FACULTY: Lori Allen, PhD is a licensed psychologist and a certified yoga instructor (RYT 200). She has been a therapist at the University of Oregon Counseling Center, and she has a private practice specializing in eating disorders, women's issues, anxiety, depression and trauma. Her yoga practice focuses on taking time each day to center, prioritizing what's important and becoming fully ourselves. Susan Kolb, LPC has been working as a Licensed Professional Counselor for 15 years. She has had a personal interest and practice in yoga for much of her adult life, and she has been professionally trained in yoga therapy since 2008. Additional areas of specialized training and expertise include sensorimotor psychotherapy, EMDR, trauma, interpersonal neurobiology and attachment – especially as they relate to adult attachment and relationship issues. She is passionate about continuing to explore these interests in the context of yoga therapy that directly addresses the union between the body, mind, heart, and soul. Patti Thompson, CADC has worked for Legacy Medical Group providing social services and addiction support in a primary care setting for 6 years. As part of the team in a Resident Teaching Clinic, she works with patients who are either uninsured or under-‐insured and with patients who have multiple psycho-‐
social needs that prevent them from making positive change in their health and well-‐being. Patti has helped develop a culture of "wellness teaching" rather than "disease management" by networking with community members, including Sarahjoy Marsh. Due to this networking her clinic can offer services above and beyond the experience of many of its patients, such as yoga, low-‐cost healthy cooking classes, and wellness support groups. Patti volunteered with Living Yoga as a teacher in the DePaul Treatment Center for 2 years and is excited to share the life-‐changing benefits of yoga with as many people as possible. 4 0110 S W B ancroft S treet Portland, O R 9 7239 503.552.YOGA (9642) www.SarahjoyYoga.com
DEADLINE OF REQUIREMENTS Trainees must complete all curriculum requirements within one year of the conclusion of their “training year” in order to be eligible for teacher certification. As a trainee, we encourage you to complete as many of the curriculum requirements as possible during your training year, while you are being carried by the momentum of your training. Past experience has proven that once you complete your training year, completing remaining curriculum requirements becomes increasingly difficult. ONE-‐TIME EXTENTION As a trainee, you may be granted a one-‐time extension for the completion of curriculum requirements. You must make a written request clearly stating the reason for the extension and how much additional time will be needed (up to one year). There is a one-‐time $75 administrative fee for extending the deadline, and you will need to complete any new curriculum requirements that may have been added. ATTENDANCE POLICY Trainees are required to sign in at the start of each training day. Teacher Trainees are also required to notify the Teacher Training Program Administrator of foreseen absences and are responsible to log and makeup any missed training hours. If less than half of one day is missed during a module, you may still complete the training program with your class, provided that you: • Ask for copies of notes that other students took during the time missed. • Write a one-‐two paragraph summary of the material missed and submit to [email protected]. If a full day is missed during a module, you may still complete the training program with your class, provided that you: • Ask for copies of notes that other students took during the time missed. • Write a one page summary of the material missed and submit to [email protected]. If more than one day is missed during a module, you will not be able to complete the training program with your class and you will need to make up the missed days in a subsequent training. The fee for retaking up to four days in a subsequent training is $75/day. The student many also, but is not required to, ask for copies of notes that other students took during the time missed. If more than four days of the training is missed, you will need to retake the program, at a discounted price, subject to space availability. 5 0110 S W B ancroft S treet Portland, O R 9 7239 503.552.YOGA (9642) www.SarahjoyYoga.com
