Teacher Training General Description
Peggy's teacher training is for yoga teachers, health practitioners, body workers, physical therapists, and exercise instructors whose practice focuses on seniors and students who need a modified approach to yoga.
Peggy Cappy has over 30 years experience in creating accessible yoga programs for a variety of audiences and has taught students from ages three to 100. Peggy's gentle and practical approach draws on her years of experience teaching yoga, from her popular videos, Back Care Basics - Yoga for the Rest of Us, Yoga for the Rest of Us, MORE Yoga for the Rest of Us, and her book Yoga for All of Us.
"I just completed Peggy's 5 day "Yoga for the Rest of Us" teacher training. I am thrilled with my experience. Peggy's approach provides poses that are gentle, effective and most importantly, possible for those who might believe yoga and its benefits are beyond their reach. The training is perfectly paced, thorough, and left me with the confidence that I am ready to teach this beautiful yoga. I came to the training to learn ‘Yoga for the Rest of Us' and in the process experienced my own transformation as a teacher and yoga practitioner. Peggy is truly a master teacher who wraps her entire process in love and acceptance. An outstanding experience."
This highly practical teacher training includes:
- Classical yoga poses and a chair adaptation for each
- Instruction in how to modify postures for individual needs
- Methodology for preparatory warm-ups
- Suggested breathing exercises
- Principles of guided relaxation
- Presentation skills for effective teaching
- How to create a welcoming class environment
- Logistics of running an on-going class
In addition to the above we will discuss what makes a great teacher versus a good one, and everyone will get a chance to teach the group and receive feedback on their teaching.
Students must have Peggy's book, Yoga For All of Us, (the book is used as part of the training) and be familiar with Peggy’s videos.

Stretching into the New Year, Manifesting Your Desires
January 1-2, 2011 in Peterborough, NH
I would like to celebrate the start of 2011 with you at very special event doing visioning work supported by yoga. Creating your individual collage is a powerful way to set an intention for the new year and draw what you want into your life in this year to come. This is a workshop I truly love to teach!
I have offered a one-day version of this powerful workshop in previous years to the community in my hometown in Peterborough, NH and in 2009 at Kripalu. This workshop is an opportunity for you if you want to try something new. In this workshop you will create a vision board collage that you can be inspired by throughout the year. I use mine as my computer screen saver; I'll help you create that too if you wish.
When: First weekend in January 1-2, 2011.
Where: Peterborough, NH
Who: Students who know me through video or live classes. People have registered for this from as far away as California, Idaho and Texas.
