What You'll Study
Our 200-hour curriculum covers:
Yoga Asana — alignment, adjustments, and sequencing for all levels. From the lineage of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and Iyengar Yoga as learned through Maty Ezraty, Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, Krista Cahill, and Annie Carpenter.
Anatomy & Physiology — how the body moves safely through practice. Lead by Professor Melanie Druery, an expert in the field.
Teaching Methodology — how to cue, sequence, and hold space for a class. This includes trauma informed methodology to root your teaching in accesibility and inclusivity.
Yoga Philosophy & History — the roots of the practice you'll be sharing from Patanjalis Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and the Radiance Sutras.
Meditation, Pranayama— breathwork and stillness practices
Energy Body - Chakras, Auric Fields, and Fascia Lines
Practicum Hours — real teaching experience with feedback before you graduate
