Come join us to learn more about our 200-hour Basic Yoga Teacher Training program that we are offering in a new 2-part format.
The first module, Yoga Immersion Program, provides a strong foundation for personal and spiritual development. It will offer well rounded in-depth yoga studies and an authentic experience of living Yoga whether you aim to become a teacher or not. Students can choose to register for this module alone if they are not interested in becoming teachers.
The module 2, Yoga Teaching Essentials, provides further understanding of Hatha Yoga and a thorough training in developing the skills necessary to become a confident, knowledgeable Yoga instructor. This module has a new expanded curriculum in anatomy, teaching methodology and professional development. Already certified teachers are welcome to join to refresh or deepen the teaching skills.
Meet the trainers and learn more about the curriculum. There will be time to ask any questions you may have. Sign up for one or both modules at the event and receive a discounted rate!
The program’s trainers are Swami Ramananda, Diana Meltsner and Snehan Born. The anatomy will be taught by Stephen Sivadas McFarland.
