Spring Certified Yoga Teacher Training
with Wendy Dahl, E-RYT and Mara Campbell, E-RYT
Our teacher training program is not about how physically ready you are for the poses but how emotionally and mentally ready are you to gain deeper insight into who you are. This program is about doing yoga from the inside out and really studying the ancient wisdom of yoga to dive deeper into your own heart and truth.
This over 200 hour program is recognized by Yoga Alliance as a REGISTERED 200 HOUR YOGA SCHOOL and offers you a unique opportunity to make a deep commitment to learning more about yourself. The entire total body yoga community offers you honest, loving support from day one as we pride ourselves on being completely inclusive. This program is a safe haven: a nurturing sanctuary to engage in open-minded self-exploration. We are devoted to offering you an atmosphere in which freedom of expression, creativity and passion for life are strongly encouraged!
Our program covers the foundations of the 8 Limbed path of Yoga and how to effectively teach using your most authentic voice. The emphasis will be on teaching to the heart of the student in a dynamic yet unpretentious way through a marriage of creative vinyasa techniques, disciplined asana and life philosophy. This program requires a significant, honest commitment of time and energy. To apply or to inquire: please contact Mara Campbell at 224-475-7343.

About Mara Campbell: Mara is thrilled to be co-teaching the Teacher Training Program at Total Body Yoga. Mara has enjoyed a long relationship with yoga, beginning as a student back in 1998 when she turned to restorative yoga to help her manage the stress of being an elementary school teacher. As her interest in yoga continued to expand she took a leap into teaching and has now joyfully taught yoga for 4 years in Illinois and holds her E-RYT certification.
Her background is in Anusara yoga and she has studied with John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga and Martin and Jordan Kirk, Senior Anusara teachers from Arizona. Mara loves the heart opening, life affirming practice of Anusara yoga, which literally means, "stepping into the flow of grace" Anusara's uplifting Tantric philosophy along with the concrete Principles of Alignment have given Mara a strong foundation from which to teach from. She also embraces a Vinyasa Flow style in her teaching, allowing the mind to quiet by connecting to breath, body and most importantly, heart. She sequences her classes in a thoughtful, knowledgeable manner, encouraging everyone feel empowered and connected as they move through their practice.
About Wendy Dahl: I stepped onto the mat for the first time in 1994 to enhance my dance training by cultivating balance, strength, and flexibility. I soon realized that Yoga is the way to transform each moment of our lives into an auspicious journey. The practice inspired so much benevolence in my heart that I dedicated myself and my life to a disciplined practice several years later.
I am deeply grateful to the many teachers who have shared their light and support as my unique style of Vinyasa Flow Yoga continually evolves and grows. My teachings reflect the philosophies of Krishnamacharya, the alignment principles and self-affirming celebrations of Anusara Yoga, the spirit and power of moving with the breath, connecting on a deeper level to one's self by embracing community, and dedication to refining and modifying the experience on the mat through therapeutic compassion for each student’s personal journey. I combine my training and experience of yoga therapeutics, AcroYoga, thai body work, and vinyasa flow so that each student will be compassionately supported and empowered to have a full experience!
