Foundations & Traditions:
This 8-month 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training program is designed to introduce you to the important concepts and practices of Yoga & Ayurveda.
YOUR TEACHERS

We periodically have guest teachers and classes to enhance your training
CURRICULUM
Techniques, Training and Practice: You will study in-depth the asanas (poses), subtle aspects of breath (pranayama) and body awareness. You will gain a deeper understanding of the vital energy centers of the body (chakras), layers of the body (koshas). You will establish your own personal practices of Asana, Pranayama, Mediation, and Living the Wisdom. This is the beginning of deepening your relationship to Yoga on and off the mat.

Yoga Anatomy & Physiology:You will learn anatomy and physiology relevant to Yoga and Ayurveda; nervous, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, muscular and skeletal systems, how the body functions and begin to dig deeper into the layers of your own being with a focus on exploring your personal Dharma through yoga. All of which will strengthen your ability to skillfully teach students.
Yoga & Ayurveda Philosophy, Lifestyle and Ethics for Yoga Teachers: You will be introduced to yogic philosophy, concepts and history of yoga and Ayurveda as we cover the foundational principles of Yoga and Ayurveda, Paths of Yoga, Limbs of Yoga, Philosophy, and classical texts of Yoga.

CURRENT FAVORITE TESTIMONIALS:
“Thank you for such a magical journey.” –J.T.
“This program embodied the essence of yoga and Ayurveda: balance, integrity, self-reflection, compassion, and healing. Learning was a pleasure. There was no pressure, no competition, and never so much as a whiff of impatience or self importance from our teachers. They modeled humility and gratitude for the teachers who came before them. They impressed on us the gift of lineage and the responsibility to pass it forward as we begin our own teaching journeys.” –H.B.
