This Nationally accredited teacher training program promotes growth and transformation through personal practice, in depth study and self-reflection.

By the time you graduate this 200-hr course, you will feel confident creating a yoga practice for yourself and others.

“In the two-year program we learned, we played, we worked and we grew! It was awesome !” F.S.

During the Two year Hatha yoga Teacher Training, you will
gain a deeper understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy as it applies to yoga postures and movement, pranayama (breathing) techniques, meditation, chanting, the therapeutic applications of yoga and how to properly sequence and adapt poses for private sessions and group classes.
