Curriculum

The curriculum is composed of 17 course which are grouped into the following categories:

Lectures – Talks and discussions on essential aspects of yoga theory, philosophy, history, and modern applications.

Anatomy – Information on physical and energetic anatomy as it relates to yoga is presented through a combination of lecture and interactive practice.

Practice Sessions – Training Instructors lead students through a yoga practice that reflects what they are studying at that point in the program. Each practice revolves around specific Yogic texts, subtle bodies, or holistic application.

Teaching Practices – These are classes during which students practice teaching yoga.

Sequencing Labs – These are sessions during which trainees will be supported and guided in crafting yoga classes as a container for Samayama. Teacher trainees will learn how to combine teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the wisdom of the subtle bodies to offer classes that provide space for their students to connect into their own practices. 

The curriculum also keeps a certain amount of space open for guest teachers and special programs.
