The popularity of Yoga has exploded in the United
States
over the last ten years, creating a great demand for
qualified
yoga instructors that can not only teach yoga classes
safely and
effectively, but instructors that have an in-depth
understanding of the
ancient teachings of yoga and their relevance
in the world today.

become a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. The program
