Sundara’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program provides a solid foundation in technical skills and the development of an intelligent, intuitive approach to teaching yoga. The curriculum will blend yogic traditions from the East with health and wellness developments from the West and the integration of an alignment-based Hatha Yoga with a rhythmic vinyasa flow. In addition to becoming certified to teach a safe and engaging yoga class, trainees will also be trained in Therapeutic Ball Rolling. Graduates of this program will leave with a strong understanding of human anatomy as it relates to movement and how to prevent and accommodate injuries and limitations in a yoga class.

This training is intended for those who wish to deepen their personal practice and learn to teach yoga. The training will explore the following in-depth: an understanding of yoga postures, yogic philosophy, anatomy, healthy lifestyles and the art of cueing and sequencing classes. In addition, trainees will gain an understanding of teaching yoga to diverse populations in different environments including: medical settings, schools, wellness centers, workplaces and Yoga studios. Students should expect to spend ample time both in their personal practice and practice teaching. The Sundara Yoga Teacher Training program will prepare you to teach yoga with confidence and competence. 

Sundara Yoga Teacher Training is a complete life immersion into self-inquiry, meditation, healthy eating, daily practice and practical teaching methods. The training is open to serious students of yoga who have at least one year of consistent yoga practice. The curriculum will concentrate significantly on the asana aspect of yoga so it should be understood that the training program requires consistent physical effort over the course of several months. This immersion is appropriate for students who wish to deepen their practice and/or teach in a health-related field, fitness, yoga studio and also for an educator who wishes to bring yoga into their workplace.   

Lectures, group discussions, PowerPoint and online presentations, interactive Asana Lab, daily practice, progressive practice teaching, journaling, and reading are all integral components of the learning experience during the Yoga Teacher Training.  One of the goals of Sundara Yoga Teacher Training curriculum is to ignite trust into our own body’s intelligence and develop a practice that is rooted in self-awareness linking the body and mind’s inherent capacity to balance and heal itself.
