Yoga Teacher Training manual

The Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Manual is available for purchase in paperback. This manual has been developed to support RYS200 course content with the Yoga Alliance. 

Manual Includes:​
  • The 8 Limbs of Yoga: A clear, structured exploration of the eight limbed journey
  • Energetics: Chakras, nadis, bandhas, koshas, and the subtle body systems explained in an accessible, practical way
  • Pranayama: Foundational breathing techniques and practices to cultivate focus, presence, and inner calm.
  • Meditation: A meaningful exploration in pratyahara, dharana, and dhayana
  • Teaching Methodology: Learn to lead with confidence through cueing structure, intelligent sequencing, impactful class design, and the art of holding space
Whether used as a core manual in a 200-hour yoga teacher training course, a reference for Vinyasa teachers, or a self-study resource for yogis on the path of growth and transformation, this guide supports students at every stage of their teaching and personal practice.
​
Designed for clarity, accessibility, and depth, this manual bridges the wisdom of ancient yoga philosophy with the needs of modern yoga education.

Workshops & Continuing Education Courses

As a former yoga studio owner, I understand the value in inviting guest teachers into your studio. By curating a course offering that deepens the practice of your teachers and students, you are able to support an environment of intentional and meaningful practice, add value to your services and space, and strengthen your studio community.
Course offerings include, but are not limited to:
  • Yamas & Niyamas
  • Shadow-Work
  • Mindset & Intention Setting in Manifestation
  • Embodied Intuition
  • Developing Somatic Intelligence in the Mind-Body Network
  • Koshas: A Journey Through the Five Layers
  • Energetics, Chakras, and the Subtle Body
  • Additional workshops available!  Workshops can be curated in duration, depth, and delivery method (in-studio, online, or hybrid). 
All courses are professionally led by
Amy R. Erickson and include a studio consultation meeting.

Business Mentorship

Entrepreneurship is a deeply meaningful, yet strenuous journey. The opportunity to curate a space and tend to the well-being of your studio community is rewarding and also complex. As a fellow studio founder, yoga teacher, tenured business professional, and supporter of small business, I thrive on the seeing you succeed and continue sharing the practice of yoga. If you are seeking guidance on scaling your business, strengthening your brand, clarifying your vision, or navigating the dynamic small business environment, please reach out!
