Yoga Teacher Training Certification Course

Our Yoga Teacher training course is a 223 hour Certification course taught in the Hatha Yoga tradition. Holistic Bodyworx is a registered school with the Yoga Alliance. The Yoga Alliance is the largest Yoga standardization registrar in North America.

The goal of our course is to teach you to become a dynamic teacher while at the same time providing the opportunity to explore and discover the power within yourself both as a teacher and as an individual.
We keep our course size very small to ensure a great teacher to student ratio. We limit our class to 10 students, although you may be in a class of as little as 5 students. We feel that your experience and education will be vastly enhanced by having hands on instruction at all times. Come learn in a way that will prepare you to teach Yoga at the highest level. You owe it yourself and your future students.

Course Outline

Techniques and practicum – 115 hours

Teaching Methodology – 44 hours

Philosophy – 34 hours

Please note there will be 180 in class hours.
The difference will be non contact (out of class) hours.
