Modules 4 - 6 of our Self-Paced Online Advanced Yoga Teacher Training. In these lessons, we cover The Yoga Sutras, Acu-Yoga, Ayurveda, Meditation, Mantra, and Mudra.
Calling all Yoga Teachers who need some Yin in their life! This is a deep dive into the yogic waters of self-realization, reflection, and gentle Yoga class offerings. We train and encourage you to share new concepts and tools while teaching your students. New ways of approaching asana and incorporating all levels and abilities is important for seeing the field of Yoga forward. We have revolutionized our approach by including diverse complementary healing arts into our teachings. After teaching 27 years, Erika proves these methods link the metaphysical to the body, mental health to the soul, and emotional freedom with meditation.
