200 HR YTT


Deepen Your Practice & Share the Gift of Yoga
200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training
“Our body is a beautiful gift of the cosmos. We show our gratitude by connecting our hearts to the all-attractive divine. Yoga is the art of creating that permanent connection.” – Vedaji

From observation, Vedaji has found students, who have expressed intense enthusiasm initially, eventually lose mental stamina to go through the rigors of an intense 1 month program. The vast majority of people have everyday lives and families that demand their attention. To serve this underserved diaspora, Vedaji and his trained student teachers offer a 12 weekend program, one weekend a month.
Our time together is a deep investigation into your true Self through the lens of yoga postures, yoga practices, embodied anatomy, sacred yogic texts and their practical application today, and substantial practice teaching and exploration time.
Provided that you have completed all assignments, upon graduation, you will receive a 200 hour yoga teacher training certificate and have the option to receive it in a beautiful ceremony in Bali on New Year’s eve from Vedaji. Students can eventually register as a RYT 200 via Yoga Alliance.
Focus of Study
Every aspect of the training is rooted in the teachings and wisdom practices of Yoga. You link all areas of study together by practicing teaching almost every weekend, having thoughtful conversations with the group and your mentor, monthly written homework & readings.
