That means you’ll be able to teach yoga anywhere in the world.
Yoga Teacher Training isn’t just yoga theories, lesson plans, and postures. It’s a practical, transformational course (that can be done virtually) that will take you from yoga enthusiast to confident yoga teacher, even if you're only a novice.
Participants will be trained in and receive extensive manuals in: Yoga 11 Lesson Plans, Yoga for Autism and Yoga for Diverse Learners.
Previous conference attendees have reported 100% satisfaction from the experience.
Participants have found the YTT and the Summer Conference to be as much of a personal retreat as it is a professional development course.
Research has shown that yoga helps students to make healthier lifestyle choices, become more skillful in relationships, and control their impulses, all while supporting their learning.
Are you ready to bring this transformational tool into your school and see the positive benefits that it brings to your students?
