Online Yoga Teacher Training
Flexible & Self-Paced
A virtual yoga teacher training program, so you can learn and train from the comfort of your home and self-paced. Adopting the policy that yoga starts from inner peace, the self-doubt of approved beliefs, and the constant need for self-exploration, you will explore deeper and find a practice that suits your mind and body. The teaching is Vinyasa-based with a focus also on Hatha and Restorative yoga.
