Yoga Teacher Training

May 30 - June 27, 2012
*This course will be translated into American Sign Language

Sep 7 - Oct 5, 2012

Since 1969, when Swami Vishnu-devananda created the first Yoga Teachers' Training Course ever taught in the West, more than 20,000 Yoga Teachers have been certified by the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers. Swamiji designed the Teachers' Training Course to closely approach the ancient Gurukhula System, in which the student's daily life was itself an intensive Yoga training.

Swami Vishnu developed a curriculum based on an integration of all aspects of Yoga and Vedanta from knowledge handed down by his guru, the great master Swami Sivananda. Vedanta teaches the essential unity of all beings, while Yoga offers practical methods for attaining consciousness of that unity.

The course covers Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation, Mantra Chanting, Vedanta & Yoga Theory, Bhagavad Gita, Mantra Meditation, Kriyas (cleansing exercises), Yoga Diet, Anatomy & Physiology, and more. By the end of the course, the beginner and advanced student alike will possess a solid foundation for teaching Hatha Yoga, will have developed a personal Yoga practice, and will have increased self-discipline and harmony of body, mind and spirit.

The course is registered with the Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level.
