200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training
A 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a wonderful way to deepen your knowledge of the practice and really delve into the lifestyle ~ even if you have no desire to ever teach it yourself. Some of us feel the call to become formal teachers, but even if that isn't you, you can still reap all the benefits of this training and apply it to your own path.
Our next 200 Hour Teacher Training will run for one weekend per month starting in October 2018, allowing you to graduate in July 2019! Please see below for information on the curriculum, dates, and tuition fees.
