We have revamped our program

I am so grateful to the teachers involved in this year’s teacher training. This program is an invitation to explore and expand your practice. During your 24 day intensive, you will be lead by instructors both in-studio and online. You are going to love this hybrid model. We will be exploring:

  • Anatomy and Physiology
  • Asana (pose) breakdown
  • Asana (pose) adjustments and modifications
  • Movement transitions
  • Gentle, Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa/Flow, Chair, and Wall work
  • Yoga philosophy
  • Meditation techniques
  • Yoga Nidra
  • Yama and Nyama
  • Ayurveda
  • Pranayama (breathwork)

You’ll have an opportunity to earn a 200RYT certification, or this experience may be solely for your personal Yoga growth.

Let’s meet the team dedicated to leading you through an inspirational three weeks…

Our Instructors

Yoga teacher training is a personal journey. It is vital that you find a program that feels just right for you. Our 24-day immersion is designed to do just that: immerse you in the practice of yoga. Let’s take a look at what you will be doing during these three weeks.

Brianna Arndt

Brianna Arndt, E-RYT-200, E-RYT-500, YACEP  | Lead Instructor

Bio:

“Yoga is like ice cream. Everybody loves it, you just have to find your flavor.” Since age five, Brianna has nurtured a passion for healing, exercise, and nutrition. She met her need to heal first by becoming a certified medical massage therapist and a certified Yoga instructor. Since then, Bri has gone one to become a Board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner and has her Health Coaching Certification.

Equipped with a Bachelor’s degree in Holistic Health Sciences, decades of self-study, thousands of hours of certified training, specialized study in therapeutic-inspired Yoga, and palpatory therapy, Brianna founded Barefoot Studio in 2011. Soon after, in 2013, She created Barefoot Studio’s Yoga School and offers both a 200 and 300-hour program. Believing that “joy isn’t real joy unless it is shared,” Brianna imparts her knowledge, sharing her philosophy of achieving physical freedom and quieting the mind through the self-empowering practice of Yoga. From Hatha to Yin, and Power Flow to Yoga Nidra practice, Brianna revels in the daily opportunity to guide students through the exploration of their capabilities and needs!

Facilitating:

Anatomy and Physiology – The backbone of the physical practice of yoga starts right here. How does your body move? What creates those moves? What allows the movement? What are the ways we can utilize our bodies to create precision, balance, fluidity, depth, and connection?

Asana/Pose breakdown, Props, Modification, and Adjustments – In this portion, we will be looking at the full analysis of a pose and what that means for your body. Receiving adjustments in each pose so that you can feel what it means to indeed be in that posture. As we go through each pose, we will be looking at how to modify and adjust that pose to adapt it to an individual’s capabilities and the style class you may be teaching. Multiple physical adjustments for each pose are also taught and practiced. During the breakdown, verbiage is also discussed, to help you find your voice and how you feel most comfortable communicating.

Gentle, Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa/Flow, Chair, and Wall work – While breaking down poses we go through how to adapt them into the various styles that are most common in standard classes. Not only is this important as a teacher, but also amazingly useful as a practitioner looking to deepen their practice. The more you understand your body, the more you will discover what it truly needs on any given day. This allows you to adjust and adapt any practice to suit YOUR needs on that day. As an instructor, it gives you a larger toolbag to pull from as you become more finely tuned at reading your students’ bodies.

Yoga Philosophy – The main philosophy of yoga is simple, yet not simple at all: mind, body, and spirit are all one and cannot be clearly separated. Not only with Brianna, but also with Pam Ronstadt, and Tanja Bungardt-Price you will be looking at this philosophy from different vantage points and how it correlates to you, your practice, and your teaching.

Meditation techniques- Here we dive into the different variations of meditation that are practiced. During this time we will also be practicing these different varieties, searching for the ones you connect with best.

Practice Teaching – The best way to learn is to do. We will be taking turns teaching each other to build our skill!

Pamela Ronstadt

Pamela Ronstadt, E-RYT 500, YACEP  |  Yin and Yama/Nyama Instructor

Bio:

Pam began to teach yoga after seeing the almost magical response her body and mind had after beginning her practice due to health issues. Pam is called  to teach and study the deeper practice of yoga as a whole. She has developed curriculum for 200–hour and 300- hour teacher trainings and is the owner of Radiant Spirit Yoga and Radiant Spirit Travels.

When not on her mat, her nose is most likely buried in a book. Pam lives in Tucson, Arizona and will try to not bore you with pictures of her grandchildren.

Pam Ronstadt, E-RYT 500, has taught over 10,000 hours both internationally, as well as domestically, and is a passionate yogini. She teaches both Yin and Yang yoga in a nurturing and loving manner. Her dharma is to teach and share the practice with whomever is receptive.

Facilitating:

Yin– We separate Yin because it is so much more than just a modification of a pose, it has a completely different philosophy and application. Pam takes the time to bring this knowledge to you. This practice has made a significant addition to the yoga world. We are happy to be sharing it with you.

Yama and Nyama – The ethics of Yoga. These principles will be discussed from a personal angle as well as it’s professional implications.

Tanja Bungardt-Price

Tanja Bungardt-Price, E-RYT 300  |  Ayurveda and Pranayama Instructor

Bio:

When Tanja was seven years old, her mother, who had been struggling with mental illness, committed suicide. Tanja has thus always been keenly aware of the challenges that people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, and mental illness face, as well as the limits of western medicine in addressing these problems. Looking for alternative solutions, she started out with yoga, eventually becoming a yoga teacher. While traveling to India to study Ashtanga yoga in Mysore, she took advantage of the opportunity and visited multiple Ayurvedic clinics and practitioners to learn more about this ancient, holistic Indian medical system.
She attended the Kanyakumari Ayurveda and Yoga Wellness Center to become an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Panchakarma Technician.
Tanja’s clients are an integral part of her journey along the path of Ayurveda and yoga—sharing her skills and knowledge with others is the natural fulfillment of that path. Teaching and educating people about Yoga and Ayurveda through lectures, workshops and classes is her calling along with seeing clients in her practice, she shares with her husband Bill Price, who is a Panchakarma Therapist, right here in Tucson.

Tanja Bungardt-Price E-RYT 300, NAMA Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Panchakarma bodyworker (Abhyanga, Svedana, Shirodara), Educator (CEU provider), Professional member of NAMA, Board member of CAC (The Council of Ayurvedic Credentialing), Ayurveda lecturer at University of Arizona Integrative program (IMER), founding member of Ayurveda Professionals of Arizona (APAA), Faculty member (Ayurveda studies at Yoga Teacher Trainings)

Facilitating: 

Ayurveda –  In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” This practice, from its roots, is deeply intertwined with Yoga. Great emphasis is placed on preventative care and encouragement to maintain health through a balance in one’s life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and use of herbs.

Pranayama (breathwork) – Techniques in breathwork will forever change your practice and your teaching. If asanas are the bricks, pranayama is the mortar. Learn how varieties of breath control effect mind, body, and spirit. Then practice, to embody the knowledge.

Yvonne Lundgren

Yvonne Lndgren, E-RYT-200, RYT300  |  Yoga Nidra Guide

Bio:

She began her yoga journey sporadically at a gym, it challenged her body but hadn’t connected the way it does today. An invitation to join in on a meditation workshop at Barefoot came in, the space and vibe intrigued her. After a few classes, Yvonne was hooked. It felt like home; a space where she was accepted, supported, embraced.

Learning to connect breath to body truly began to improve her practice and overall quality of life. Yvonne lives with a number of ailments that at times can leave her bedridden. The difference she felt from yoga was incredible. But, why did it work?

When Yvonne took the 200-hour teacher training at Barefoot in 2015, there was no intention to teach. As the training came to completion,  she knew she wanted to share the bliss that can be attained through yoga.
“I have now been teaching for nearly 4 years and am grateful for every minute.”

Facilitating:

Yoga Nidra – Some call this Yogic Sleep. You will be guided throughout 6 sessions through our your training, an introduction to the science behind this method, and practical application.

Amanda Coronado

Amanda Coronado, RYT-200  |  Transistion Guide

Bio:

Amanda started practicing yoga shortly after moving to Arizona in 2009. Over several years of casual practice, she became increasingly curious about the balance between strength, flexibility, and body mechanics in the yoga asanas. This desire to learn led Amanda to enroll in the 2017 Barefoot Studio Summer Intensive, and upon completing the program, she began her teaching journey as part of the Barefoot staff. Amanda is known for her challenging power flows and her creative sequencing/transitions.

“Focus on the journey, not the destination.”
Facilitating: 
Movement Transitions – Being able to create sessions that move smoothly, make sense for the body, and inspire your students is an important factor in your teaching. Here we will troubleshoot through your creations.
