Vibrant Living Yoga Teacher Training guides you to experience yourself free of

This comprehensive training covers traditional yoga methodology: asana,
pranayama, meditation, kirtan, philosophy, ethics, Sanskrit, lifestyle,
physical and energetic anatomy/physiology, sessions on teaching styles,
sequencing, creating classes, adjustments and corrections, the business of yoga
and more. Using ancient scripture and philosophy in a contemporary context we
