800-hour yoga therapy training

800-hour Yoga Therapy Training Program
Accredited with International Association of Yoga Therapists

This is the highest level of training available in yoga schools. The International Association of Yoga Therapists accredits training schools that meet their rigorous criteria. The 800-hr training is comprised of our 300-hour Yoga Alliance Professional Yoga Training program, 150-hours of Mentored Practicum, and 350-hours of IAYT Yoga Therapy Training.

Our training methodology develops each individual practitioner and creates a sense of community in the process. This is both a professional and personal journey. Who we become as Yoga Therapists relies both on what we bring to our training and development and the teachers, communities, and environments in which we study. As well, the depth of support, encouragement, compassion, and discerning input provided to each trainee is intentionally designed to nourish every participant to become the strongest, most clear, and most compassionate provider they can be.
