200 Hour Syllabus

Yogic Texts | 10 hours

One of our core values is the integration of the philosophy of yoga into daily life. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Siri Guru Granth Sahib are a few of the foundational texts that explain the psychology, practice, and result of living a yogic lifestyle. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate the metacognitive aspects of yoga to help them teach openly. A fundamental skill of teaching yoga is to be able to hold space in a projection free way that allows for exploration and self-development of yourself and the students with whom you share destiny. These texts help outline that path.

The History of Yoga | 10 hours

Teachers graduating from our school are taught about the history of yoga through the lens of Tantra and non-duality. Students will learn about the aspects of being and how yoga attempts to create harmony and union of the entire experience.

Meditation | 50 hours

Teachers in training will be exposed to multiple types of meditation, including silent meditation, guided meditation, Yoga Nidra and Kundalini meditation. Teachers will graduate feeling comfortable teaching and facilitating pranayama, pratyahara, mantra and meditation.

Yoga Anatomy & Physiology | 20 hours

Teachers in our 200-hour training learn the foundations of anatomy, including the way the axial and appendicular skeletons come together to create a container for the flow of prana. We look at the major joint systems in the body and how they relate to the asana we use to sequence vinyasa flow. We then look at the central nervous system and how the asanas impact the physical and energetic body to calm the mental body.

Sequencing Kundinyasana | 50 hours

Our training teaches you how to break poses down into groups that have similar movements that complement one another. This allows you to put poses with similar functionality together quickly and easily to ensure safety and creativity. You will learn how to appropriately combine Vinyasa and Kundalini styles together. We teach beginner sequencing, all level sequencing, and advanced sequencing. You will complete this training with the ability to teach Kundalini on its own, Vinyasa, and Kundinyasa.

Subtle Bodies | 20 hours

Our training goes over the subtle bodies extensively, beginning with the Pancha Maya Kosha system and moving into the chakra system. We look at the way the Nadi system overlays the Pranamaya Kosha and the chakras, and we look at the similarities between meridians and Nadis. We will also delve into the Kundalni yoga system of the 10 Bodies.

Yin & Restorative | 5 hours

In our training, we give an overview of both yin and restorative yoga, and we explain their differences.

Prenatal Modifications | 5 hours

Teachers in this 240 hour training will receive an introduction to prenatal and will be able to offer modifications to expectant mothers in all three trimesters.

Introduction to Ayurveda | 10 hours

Teachers will receive an introduction to Ayurveda that explains the tattvas (elements), the tri-doshic system, the impact the seasons have on our constitutions, and Ayurvedic self-care routines.

Ethics of Yoga | 10 hours

Teachers in training will be able to actively participate in discussions regarding moral guidelines, diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. You will be armed with ideas on how to build community and encourage healthy student-teacher relationships.

Business of Yoga | 20 hours

In our business of yoga module, teachers will learn how to write a business plan, evaluate perceived competition, run projections, and develop a sustainable brand.

Practicum | 20 hrs
