When its this hot and humid in DC, I tend to experiment more with salads than I normally would. This is a recipe of my personal favorites, because its easy to make, light to the stomach and oh-so yummie. The colors of all the ingredients make it a party on your plate (the picture below was my plate!), and its always a big vegetarian hit at BBQ parties! Vegans: you can modify the salad by replacing the cheese for a vegan option.  Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Watermelon (1/2)
  • Drizzle of Olive Oil
  • Red Onion (1/2)
  • Feta or Goat Cheese (handful, crumbled)
  • Mint (about 4 sprigs, use only the leaves)
  • Arugula or Mache (handful)

As we enter our sixth year of our advanced teacher training/500 hour certification, we seek out experienced teachers who are ready to take their teaching practice to the next level. This is a brave leap of learning more and challenging their edge.

Many teachers enter the 500-hour program to refresh their teaching approach, many want to learn more about anatomy or philosophy, some do it to offer their students a richer yoga experience, and others are life long-learners wanting to go deeper into the science of yoga. Whatever your reason might be, we invite you to join ATT. 

Through July 1st we are offering a Early Bird Registration Special.
Register by completing application and pay $500 deposit by July 1 and get 10% off tuition for ATT ($3600 tuition for no TS staff). Balance due Sept. 1, 2013.

I completed the Tranquil Space Advanced Teacher Training in June of 2012.
Since then, I’ve relocated to Raleigh, NC, had a beautiful baby girl and will be opening my own yoga studio, Bliss Body Yoga, at the end of the summer. A lot has happened since graduation, but the advanced training laid the foundation for this new chapter in my life.

During training I was surrounded by inspiring teachers and fellow trainees who have shaped and influenced the yoga teacher I am now – a teacher who is able to let her authentic voice and style shine. I’m grateful for my ATT experience and recommend the program to yogis who are ready to take their teaching to the next level.
