The Mindful Body 200-hour Intensive Studies/Teacher Training, is a five month program that meets 2 - 3 weekends a month, and includes a four day retreat in Santa Cruz.

This is a classical yoga course, rooted in Patanjali's eightfold path. The curriculum is intended for advancing students who wish to deepen their practice and for aspiring teachers who are looking for a course that provides the tools with which to teach intelligently and confidently. This extensive curriculum will give certified teachers the freedom to become specialized in a particular area of yoga or to confidently teach a variety of styles.

This will be an intimate training offered by dedicated and supportive teachers. Participants will receive individual guidance on their path towards successfully completing the program.

This is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) course, certified by the Yoga Alliance.
