Yoga Teacher Training

‘Yoga chitta vritti narodha. Tada Drashthuh svarupe vasthananam.’ ‘Yoga is the stilling of the whirlpools of the mind. By this, one’s essential nature can be realized.’—Patanjali

In Sanskrit, yoga means “ union” referring to the joining of the individual psyche with the transcendental Self. Through this joining, the vehicles of body, heart and mind can become conduits of supreme consciousness.

The Yoga Teacher Training concentration provides comprehensive instruction in all aspects of the yogic path, ranging from asana practice to classes in yogic history, theory and philosophy. Balancing cognitive understanding with experiential learning, students study these ancient practices and teachings for transformation, as well as gain the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively teach yoga.

The curriculum systematically covers asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, meditation, yoga nidra, chakras, Sanskrit, anatomy, yogic philosophy and psychology. Asanas are practiced in a vinyasa style, based on the Iyengar principles of alignment. Upon completion, students earn a certificate in Yoga Teacher Training which meets the 500-hour requirement of the Yoga Alliance. All graduates are eligible to become Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance.
