We want to nurture your practice, cultivate your confidence and empower you with tools to forge a deeper relationship with your yoga both on and off the mat.
Further reading assignments will be given once enrolled in program.
Hybrid learning structure - both livestream and in-person options.
All weekend modules & weekday classes will be live-streamed and recorded. We will also offer weekends in-person.

Be prepared to practice asana, pranayama and meditation weekly. The Yoga Immersion launches the training with scriptural study, yoga history and philosophy, along with the foundational teachings of Hatha Yoga. An Applied Anatomy and Biomechanics weekend (along with pre-recorded components) will prepare you to begin The Art of Teaching practicums which include teaching skills, sequencing, language, basic sanskrit and the business of Yoga.
