This training is for students who wish to deepen their understanding of the yoga practice as it relates to life in a closely mentored program taking place over 5 months (June-October).

This 200hr (300+hr with independent study required) course presents a foundation in yoga principles with a strong emphasis on vinyasa. Trainees are expected to maintain a daily meditation and a consistent asana practice during their training. A set sequence will be provided almost 2 months prior to the start of the training and students will be expected to self-practice this sequence approximately 3x per week.
