overview

This training will not only equip trainees to teach yoga asana in a variety of settings with confidence and ease, but it will instill within themselves the values and principles of yoga culture that can help enhance one’s personal life in deep and transformative ways. Physical asana is one part of the vast landscape of personal development that is yoga. This training highlights the spiritual culture of yoga as a means for personal transformation. Over the course of 8 modules, trainees will be immersed in yoga philosophy, lifestyle, culture, meditation practices, holistic health and wellness, and personal spiritual connection to self and others.

Together, we will explore yoga’s timeless teachings and how they apply to one’s life today. As trainees apply these teachings regularly, in a supportive community, they will notice themselves transform from the inside out. This course is not just about gaining textbook knowledge, but about applying the teachings and living the lifestyle of a yogi, leading to a profound and deep experience of what yoga has to offer.

As a graduate, a trainee will head into the world confident and ready to lead grounded, safe, and inspired yoga classes. They’ll also learn how to offer modifications, posture options, clarification of contraindications, and how to create classes with progressive levels of difficulty. More than that, trainees will have the tools and knowledge to instill life-changing principles into their classes.

Here are the key modules of this training:
