Online Yoga Teacher Training Program

The yoga teacher training course is designed to take you through the study of Yoga’s history, philosophy, and deeper practices, transition into personal, self-study, inner work, then move into how to apply these teachings to work with future students.

Coursework is presented through lectures, podcasts, audio, visual, reading, and even YouTube videos.

Taking into consideration the different learning styles of our students, most assignments can be handed in using any format: essay, written word, song, art, PowerPoint or visual art, etc. As long as we can assess that you have learned and understand the material, you have the control to show us in the best way that serves you.
