What You'll Learn
You will learn to teach yoga. But more than that, you’ll learn to teach confidently and with authenticity.
Nestled in the awe inspiring Blue Ridge Mountains, with the uplifting energy of the Art of Living Retreat Center to support you, the first steps on your yoga teaching journey will be remarkable.
Teach Yoga with Confidence
Teaching yoga is always nerve-wracking to begin with. But this training program will give you the solid grounding you need to teach with confidence and trust in your own capabilities. You will know how to plan and lead classes, workshops and one-to-one sessions, and you’ll begin to develop your unique teaching style from the very start.
Craft and Adapt Classes for Different Needs
The Sri Sri School of Yoga takes a multidimensional approach to training teachers. This means that you will learn how to craft classes for a range of different students. You will be able to work with common injuries, and modify postures and classes to accommodate them; teach groups with specific physical or emotional needs; and teach adults of all ages.
Understand Anatomy
Under the guidance of physician Dr. Bharti Verma, you will gather a comprehensive understanding of functional anatomy and physiology. With classes focused on and highly applicable to the physical practice of yoga, the science behind body patterns and movement will be integrated into your teaching.
Discover the Four Paths of Yoga
Learn about—and experience—the four paths of yoga: Gyana (wisdom); Karma (service and action); Bhakti (love and devotion); and Hatha (effort). As your yoga practice deepens, it will be informed by the four paths. Your practice will become the guide that helps you navigate your own journey.
Integrate Yoga Wisdom into Life and Teaching
Yoga is all about practice. But cultivating an awareness and understanding of the traditions and philosophies that form the basis of yoga as we know it will add greater depth and insight. This program will enable you to integrate the wisdom of yoga into your life and teaching in actionable, practical ways.
Understand Ayurveda
Discover the fundamental principles of the oldest recorded medical system in the world. Learn how to weave Ayurvedic knowledge into your lifestyle and diet, creating balance and harmony. You can share Ayurvedic practices with your future students to enhance their learning, too.
Build Your Business
Although this program is rooted in tradition, it is firmly situated in the present day. The faculty are all practicing yoga teachers themselves - they know how important it is to build a sustainable business around your teaching. You will be supported in identifying goals for your yoga business and creating a strategy to work towards them.
Feel Supported Within Your New Community
That Community Has a History
The Sri Sri School of Yoga was founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The school seeks to expand the world’s understanding of yoga through education and training that is steeped in the vedas – the original roots of yoga.
Respectful of its long lineage of masters, the school also aims to make yoga accessible and applicable for the modern day; promoting the notion that yoga is for all people, regardless of age, ability, culture or religion. Program graduates undergo a rigorous training and are equipped with a deep and personal understanding and experience of yoga. This allows them to bring the different dimensions of practice and philosophy to their own students.
