Antima Yoga

A Modular Format Yoga Teacher Training

Module 1: February 23 – March 02, 2019

Module 2: March 02 – 09, 2019

An Innovative Approach

Our teacher training courses are divided into easy-to-follow modules. Each module includes 45 contact hours and 5 non-contact hours. They are free-standing parts of the overall courses (200 /300/500hr RYT certification). All modules cover every aspect of the required material for Yoga Alliance, International Yoga Federation, and other key authorities. Each module’s scope allows participants to firmly master the concepts without being overwhelmed. Trainees can start with any module (anatomy, asanas, philosophy, etc.) and piece together their certification on a schedule that works best for their lifestyle and priorities. This approach allows participants to focus on each sub-section of the overall program in a comprehensive way.

By making all modules available on a rolling basis, participants can start the program at any point and complete it whenever it works best for them. This structure allows for flexible scheduling and financial planning. As a result, it more easily accommodates everyone’s unique lifestyle and goals.

The content of each module is harmoniously woven together, creating a clear, complete picture of the material presented. We will also offer considerable elective material to enrich the educational quality of our programs. Each module will be taught by at least two of our experienced teachers, to ensure optimal exposure to their vast knowledge, skills and passion for each aspect of the overall program.
