“Yoga is not for people who want to stay the same.” —David Life

 

The Satsang Yoga 200-hour Teacher Training is a thorough, transformative program designed to help you deepen your own personal practice and to empower you with the skills to lead well-rounded yoga classes that incorporate, integrate, and honor the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of yoga in a respectful and reverent way. Our class size will be limited to a maximum of 12 people to insure plenty of individual attention.  

 

Throughout the course of this training, not only will you transform your own yoga practice, you will also develop practical techniques to share your authentic wisdom with others. Learn to teach a true “all-levels” class in which each student feels acknowledged, seen, and provided with what they need to get the most out of their practice. You’ll also become part of a community of spiritual practitioners (a satsang) and develop lifelong friendships. Upon completing all course requirements, you will be eligible to apply for the RYT-200 designation with Yoga Alliance.
