"Yoga… it is a living process that changes moment by moment, watching when we eat. How we eat, when we walk, how we walk, what we say and how we say it. All these things must be present in us and we must be passionately interested in them all."

About Us
Namaste' USA Scaravelli Yoga Teacher Training is a
Yoga Alliance Registered, 200 hour program. We are located in
Richardson, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Mission Our mission is to provide our students with a comprehensive
foundation in teaching Yoga. This foundation covers experiential,
practical, and theoretical aspects of Yoga and its potential to
bring about holistic transformation. History of Namasté USA Namasté USA has its roots in the lineage of Krishnamacharya, through
B.K.S. Iyengar, T.K.V. Desikachar, Vanda Scaravelli, and ultimately
through Irene Beer, an internationally known yoga teacher who
resides in Victoria, BC, Canada.
Originally trained in this method by Esther Myers, Irene later
studied privately with Vanda Scaravelli. Through her work with Mr.
Iyengar and Mr. Desikachar, Vanda developed her own system of
practicing Yoga, by synthesizing what she had learned from her two
master teachers with what she experienced in her own body, her
breath, and her ability to access and utilize the energies of the
earth. Eventually Vanda began to teach her discoveries to others.
After working on her own with Vanda’s system, Irene Beer began to
teach it to her students, who were so impressed with its results
that they asked Irene to consider offering a teacher training
program. Accordingly, in 1997 Irene and her husband Bill Beer, M.D.,
co-founded Namasté International, a 500 hour Yoga Alliance
Registered School, based on the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.
Originally an affiliate school of Namasté International, Namasté USA
was founded in 2003 as a 200 hour program and became a Yoga Alliance
Registered School in June, 2004. Its co-founders, Vicki Johnson and
Carol Stall, worked closely with Bill and Irene Beer for several
years with their teacher training program in the Dallas area. After
graduating from Namasté International’s program in 2000, they served
as mentors to the school’s Texas-based students.
Namasté USA continues to train and prepare some of the best
qualified yoga teachers in Texas. Our goal is to assist more and
more students to become teachers in order to help share the rewards
of practicing Yoga, as Vanda Scaravelli taught it, with as many
people as possible. In accordance with that purpose, we are
developing a 500 hour program so that yoga teachers can continue to
deepen and develop their teaching skills.
