Eight Limbs™ Yoga Education Teacher Trainings at Satellite Locations

Program Description

The ELYE™ teacher training is designed to work exclusively with all participants' base knowledge of yoga, health, and philosophy, regardless of prior experience. It emphasizes the many different aspects of teaching classical Hatha yoga as well as all the other branches of the Eight Limbs™ of yoga as outlined by the great sage Patanjali.

The training modules are multifaceted and consist of 200 to 250 hours of your participation. Core techniques that are covered in the program include asana, pranayama, relaxation, and meditation. Anatomy and physiology in relation to yoga are profoundly incorporated.
