Step into a transformative 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training designed for students, practitioners, movement professionals, and aspiring teachers who want to understand yoga beyond postures. This training brings together Viniyoga methodology, applied anatomy, biomechanics, pranayama, philosophy, sequencing, teaching practicum, and therapeutic observation in a structured Saturday-based format.
Across sixteen training days, participants will develop the knowledge, confidence, and practical teaching skills needed to guide yoga safely, intelligently, and compassionately. The program emphasizes how to adapt yoga to the individual, rather than forcing the individual into a fixed posture.
What You Will Learn
You will learn how to build safe, purposeful yoga practices using breath, movement, observation, and sequencing principles. The training explores foundational yoga philosophy, the history of yoga, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the Eight Limbs of Yoga, Yamas and Niyamas, and how these teachings can be integrated into modern practice and teaching.
The program places strong emphasis on functional anatomy and biomechanics. You will study the spine, pelvis, hips, knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands, with practical application to asana, postural clinics, contraindications, and modifications. You will also learn how to observe students, use action language, adapt postures, apply props, and design intelligent sequences for different needs.
