    Attendance & Expectations:

    The program runs Mon-Sat for 5 consecutive weeks. You will need to clear your schedule completely during this time. 

     

    We like to be flexible (wink), but the required hours for Yoga Alliance certification are strict. This is an accelerated course, designed for students whose schedules can't absorb a year-long YTT but who still want to earn a 200-hour RYT certification.

     

    Students should be relatively fit and are expected to participate in two asana classes daily during the intensive. You will have some homework in the form of writing assignments. Prepare to commit 40 hours/week to the immersion.

  • Ways to Prepare for the Immersion

    • Practice yoga 3-4 times weekly (you can come to Excelsior Yoga, or practice at a similar level to our hatha classes).
     
    • Commit to getting 8 or 9 hours of sleep each night. (Most of us do not get enough sleep. During rest, the body and mind have a chance to regenerate.)
     
    • Always drink lots of pure filtered water that isn't flavored, fluoridated, or chlorinated.
     
    • Eat a healthy diet rich in whole foods, healthy fats, protein, vegetables, and fruit, and reduce or eliminate red meat, processed foods, and alcohol.
     
    • Examine current and upcoming responsibilities to clear your schedule of commitments and distractions.

  • Purchase Options

    If you don't use credit or have privacy concerns, just stop by the studio. We're happy to assist in person.

     

    If you haven't already completed the YTT forms, we'll contact you to do so.

     

    Please check back soon to see the dates and sign up for the next yoga teacher training begins :)
