Advanced Yoga Studies

Yoga Sutras Teacher Training and Immersion

This event is a 500hr RYA Teacher Training module. Read more about modules here. They are open to all, though you will get the most out of them if you have some yoga experience. We consider these advanced yoga studies. You do not need to be working on 500 hour certification to take one.

Locations and dates listed below

In this course we will review The Yoga Sutra written by Sri Patanjali around 200AD. This classical text serves as the philosophical basis for all yoga traditions. In this short text, Sri Patanjali goes through the path to enlightenment in three different ways including: the five paths of meditation, the eight limbs and the four higher truths. 

We will review all four chapters, integrate them into a modern yoga and meditation practice, and demonstrate how you can teach them in your yoga classes.

Required Reading
How Yoga Works by Geshe Michael Roach and Lama Christie McNally. We have it at the studio.

Michael Johnson ERYT-500 and Stephanie Johnson are staff teachers at the Yoga Studies Institute, as well as certified Jivamukti Teachers.  Together they have been teaching yoga and meditation for over 15 years.
