Yoga Teacher Training

Practice becomes firmly established when it has been cultivated uninterruptedly and with devotion over a prolonged period of time.

Consider this your invitation

Designed for the curious yoga practitioner who is looking for deeper insight into yogic teachings and practices - with no pressure to pursue teaching. There are two tracks for learning—Practitioner Training and Teacher Training—that run simultaneously. Meeting every other weekend for five months, the program allows each individual the time and space needed to absorb the teachings. 

Whole Sky Yoga’s program explores yogāsana (poses), yoga history and philosophy (Yoga Sūtras, Bhagavad-Gita, and more), anatomy, subtle body (koshas, chakras, nadis), meditation, prāṇāyāma, as well as teaching techniques, assisting, and business of yoga - among additional topics and modalities - more info below!
