200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course Curriculum
We put everything we had into making this 200-hour yoga teacher training course for you. Every part is meant to not only help you get better at the practice, but also to change how you think about yourself and this old science. This isn't learning from a book; it's learned through experience, combining traditional yoga lessons with what works in the real world.
Yoga Philosophy, History, and Lifestyle
Read the Yoga Sutras, also known as the Bhagavad Gita, to learn about how old yogis really lived. You'll learn that yoga philosophy isn't just a bunch of ideas; it's real-world advice for living a happy, purposeful life right now.
