The science of Yoga holds the potential to bring every individual into a state of great health and immense wellness. In this 2-week course, we will explore how to empower one to get back to a state of integration (body, mind, heart and soul) through the wisdom of yoga in its full spectrum of asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra and lifestyle choices.

Learn to tap into the very potent healing power of yoga to empower yourself and others to return to (and sustain) a state of optimal wellness. In this 100-HR intensive, you will gain the tools you need to support yourself and your clients to live healthy, vibrant lives.
