Western Yoga College was
founded by Scott Miller. After conducting Hatha Yoga Teacher Training
programs for six years at a studio he founded in Riverside, CA,, Scott
is making his program available at studios all around Southern
California. While each course will include special guest teachers and
performers, Scott will be be the primary instructor. That way, program
attendees will be assured of being taught by the Inland Empire's most
experienced teacher trainer. Scott has been certifying teachers longer
than anyone in the area and since Western Yoga College is accredited with Yoga Alliance, graduating from our program translates
directly to their 200 hr. RYT status.
It should also be recognized that what distinguishes our program is its
broad yogic scope. No other single school traces its roots back to all
four of the main Hatha Yoga teachings. So after running the first
studio to offer daily classes taught by high level practitioners of
Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga, Scott is
bringing that broad awareness more exclusively to his Teacher Training
programs. Because Scott had studied directly with Ashtanga master
Pattabhi Jois, Iyengar master Lisa Walford, Yin Yoga master Paul
Grilley and Kundalini master Harijivan, Western Yoga College students
are in turn exposed to the hathayogic philosophies and methodologies
that have shaped the American yoga world over the last thirty years.
Without compromising the integrity of any of the four individual
styles, Scott positions our program to help a broad range of teacher
trainees find their way of instructing yoga.
With Scott's guidance, all trainees can explore what it is that serves
them best on a yogic level. The start of that process is finding out
what teacher-trainees love most about yoga. Then the love becomes what
we teach. Not only people who will become yoga teachers, but anyone
serious about their practice can benefit from the course and most
people who have graduated consider their time with Scott to be the most
transformational experience of their life.
