100 HR Foundation Overview
Most frequent questions and answers for our 100hr YTT Certification
ANATOMY & ASANA
Gain a deeper appreciation for how the body moves by understanding its structure, what makes it both soft and stable – and how to apply this with grace and ease while teaching real people in group settings.
Learn what the top / major asanas are, and why these are important for harmonious health. Increase your understanding of alignment through all the layers of the physical body, the energetics, and benefits within each pose.
PHILOSOPHY & LIFESTYLE
Marianne will take you through the ancient wisdom and traditions, as they apply to modern life. Develop knowledge of philosophical teachings, and how these apply to a happy healthy lifestyle.
TEACHING METHODS & SPECIAL CONDITIONS
As you develop your voice, you’ll move beyond typical cookie-cutter approach instruction. Learn how to see the diversity in the wide array of minds and bodies in each class. Lead with confidence, knowing how to work with common injuries and unique conditions.
SEQUENCING & CUEING
Learn how to plan classes as a framework to build upon. Create sequences of poses where every participant truly feels a part of the experience. By integration of focused cues, you will bring class participation to a whole new level, with your students feeling wonderful in their bodies, calm and clarity in their minds, and sparks of joy in their hearts.
Marianne will teach you how to see the bodies you are teaching by observing their subtle movements. Variations of postures and modification cueing will flow gracefully as your words inspire everyone to live their best life.
CAREER & RESORT TEACHING
Life is a process of refinement, and those who are visionaries thrive at all times. Marianne has taught at fancy yoga studios, gyms, church basements, rec centers, community centers, senior centers, schools, businesses, medical centers, hospitals, federal prisons, eating disorder clinics, and many resorts throughout the Caribbean. Together we’ll explore the path that will broaden your opportunities for teaching and becoming who you are meant to be!
Requirements for Signing up for Marianne’s Teacher Training are simple:
1. Read this website. Explore Marianne’s Blog, read about Marianne’s background and teaching philosophy, and read our student testimonials. It is important that every person who chooses Marianne Wells Yoga School yoga teacher training understands who Marianne is and the why behind what she lives and teaches with her teacher trainings.
2. Be open-minded. The more expectations and preconceived notions you have about what your yoga teacher training will or should include, the less you focus on the experience you are having. The students who arrive with a willing heart and the desire to move toward the life of a yogi have the most rewarding experiences. Again, explore this website and truly contemplate whether signing up for Marianne’s teacher training is the best choice for you. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about signing up for Marianne’s 200 or 300 hour teacher training.
3. Arrive healthy and well-rested. The best thing you can do for yourself is to arrive ready to learn. Being a yoga student with Marianne means everyday is packed with lessons where you must be fully present in body, mind, and spirit. Don’t start your yoga teacher training journey overly fatigued or with a body that is not well prepared for the long (albeit extremely rewarding!) days. Coming with a rested body and a focused mind will start you on your path to fulfillment as a yoga teacher. We live the yoga lifestyle during our time together.
4. We will have five pre attendance anatomy Zoom sessions. Sessions will be scheduled according to everyone’s vote on which day and time works best for them. All sessions will be recorded for those who cannot attend.
In addition to these 4 requirements, Marianne’s advice to prospective students is the same:

Meet Marianne – Your E-RYT Instructor
A leader in the yoga community, I have been teaching yoga for more than 30 years, drawing on the traditions of Bhakti, Tantra, Hatha and Vinyasa to help bring the ancient universal wisdom of yoga to modern seekers. What the Ancients called the sacred path has become a way of life for me. It’s about learning how to experience and promote a peaceful connection between the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual bodies, and discovering who we are and why we are here. My multidimensional yoga trainings will inspire you to live from your heart, to find your peaceful inner strength and to see the unity within our diversity – that we are all One.Testimonials
“Marianne’s yoga training has connected me with my cultural heritage from Indian again.
Sarasvati (Australia)
“It was more than a training- it was almost a therapy. So many people opened up, opening their hearts and their minds. This experience is supporting me and my self-development. I loved learning every day and I learned about myself, human behavior, overcoming challenges, and how to really live in the now.”
Mike (London)
“I’ve taken yoga classes at Kripalu, Omega, and I’ve been to India. Never have I gone so deep as in Marianne’s yoga classes. Thank you Marianne!”
Christina (USA)
“I was amazed by how much the morning practices helped me connect with myself and inspire me to practice yoga daily. I had never even heard of Sutras or yoga philosophy before this experience, but it opened my eyes to the connection between mind and body and how much our bodies can affect our minds.”
Karen (Canada)
