If you seriously want to investigate the history, philosophy, psychology, transformative powers, and applicability of yoga therapy to today’s crazy lifestyles…and learn to teach asana exceptionally well…this training is for you.

This unique training program begins the weekend of January 7th – 9th and runs for one weekend per month for 10 months. There will be about 8 hours of live streaming every weekend, from Friday evening through Sunday midday. The remaining contact hours will be completed through monthly viewings of lectures, documentaries, and asana classes which may be viewed at your convenience throughout the month.

You have the capacity to provide the spiritual guidance for a global shift in consciousness. You can change the world and help others develop kindness, compassion, and joyfulness, the encoded teachings of the Yoga Sutra.

We will help you devise an Individualized Yoga Program (IYP) that focuses on the area in your community or the special population, with whom you hope to work. Working with your IYP also prepares you to continue your studies in any of the specialized yoga service programs of the Give Back Yoga Foundation, such as Mindful Yoga Therapy for Veterans, The Prison Yoga Project, Yoga for 12 Step Recovery, Yoga for Cancer, and others.
