Classical Yoga Teacher Program
Our Classical Yoga Teacher Program has been designed for those who wish to teach classical yoga to the community at large. Yoga is a popular way to maintain physical, mental, and spiritual well-being because it helps those who practise it deal with life's challenges in a balanced way. Learn the skills and techniques you need to develop an awareness of both mind and body. Explore postures, breath awareness (pranayamas), meditation, anatomy and physiology, yoga history, yoga philosophy, Patanjali's yoga aphorisms (sutras), and teaching methodologies.
