What is the focus? What types of Yoga will we study?

Our main goal is to give you all the tools you need to become a confident and successful yoga teacher. The styles and traditions of yoga that we will focus on are Hatha. Teachings will be influenced by other types as well such as Ashtanga, Power, Anusara, Restorative and others. The foundational teachings, however, will be in Yoga Practices and traditions and the Eight Limbs of Yoga as taught by Patanjali.

How much yoga experience is required?

We do not require a certain number of hours of experience in order to attend this teacher training. However, this is an intense college-like training. It is to your advantage and our recommend that you have at least practiced yoga consistently for 6-12 months. A good foundation will shorten the learning curve and provide a base for deeper comprehension. That said, your passion for learning and willingness to come prepared with an open mind, to jump in and immerse yourself in the teachings will be the determining factor on how rich your return is on your investment. You will get out what you put in.

What books are required and will they cost extra? Will I need to read them prior to class?

Your tuition includes a beautiful full color YTT 200 Hour Student Manual and Asana Manual. In addition we will learn from books written by yoga masters. The 5 required books are extra. Most of these books can be found on Amazon.com for under $25. These will serve as study material during the course. You are not required to read them beforehand though it is encouraged if you are in a position to do so.

Adhearance to Yoga Alliance Standards assures the customer that teachers and schools meet the minimum requirmentes to teach a safe and effective yoga class.
