SCHYS 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
This 200-Hour program takes a deep dive into sequencing and course planning, western & eastern anatomy, yoga philosophy, and much more. Because this program is grounded in yoga therapy as inspired by T.Krishnamacharya through Mr. TKV Desikachar, we emphasize safety and healing of the body-mind-spirit for all students. We teach concepts and ideas that are inclusive of all body sizes and shapes and accessible to all beings of all walks of life.
This program meets in-person over a weekend six times, spaced over approximately eight to nine months. We also meet virtually for an hour each week for 28 weeks, plus there are mentoring hours, practicum hours, and other reading and study time. We utilize Thinkific, a learning management system for the online classes and other materials for the program.
Pre-requisites: A strong desire to learn more about yoga. It is not necessary that you actually want to teach yoga, but rather have a strong interest in learning more. An established home practice is a huge plus, but we are here to help you establish a home practice.
Students will enjoy a deeply personal relationship with their faculty-mentor and expand their knowledge of:
● Course planning & teaching methodologies
● Western anatomy & physiology
● Subtle anatomy
● Some pranayama techniques
● Yoga philosophy
● And more!
Become part of a community, cultivate new friendships, enjoy an enhanced learning experience, deepen your knowledge of yoga, and receive guidance for a sustainable and transformational personal practice. Graduates of this program may continue to SCHYS’s Yoga Therapy Certificate Program which is accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
This program runs in different locations.
