Personal Practice

The In-Depth Yoga Studies and Teacher Training Program is predicated upon the concept that teaching derives first and foremost from one's own practice. The foundation of the overall program is an in-depth practice and study of asana that emphasizes deepening one's personal practice.

Extensive and comprehensive study of poses in a workshop-style setting will contribute to a deeper understanding of the principles of physical alignment, lines of energy, adaptation of poses to address individual needs, prevention and treatment of injuries, proper sequencing of poses and use of props.

Participants are strongly encouraged to maintain a regular practice of at least three classes per week outside of the core program. During the 7-week Phase I course, you may take unlimited classes at Santa Cruz Yoga for free.
