Yoga Study Intensives
These select intensives from our 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training provide opportunities for:
- Dedicated practitioners to dive into personal practice more deeply without the commitment of a full teacher training
- Healthcare, integrated health, mental health and education professionals to learn more for integrating into their current professions
- Continuing education for yoga teachers who want to learn more
- Aspiring teachers to take the program in modules
Early discounts available, see details below
All intensives include lecture handouts, access to the archive of practices in audio or video format and print versions and 1 individual mentoring session on personal practice or teaching.
Any aspiring practitioner who takes an intensive and enrolls in a future yoga teacher training will have that fee subtracted from their total tuition.
