200HR Yoga Teacher Training Curriculum
|
The Hawaii Yoga Institute is committed to the living art of yoga. Our curriculum is specifically designed to engage a playful spirit through an inquiry into the multi-dimensional self. Our educational model facilitates personal development, self-reflection, individualized spirituality and movement meditation in a safe and warm environment created for learning, growing and discovery with others.
The 200HR Yoga Teacher Training program meets and exceeds the requirements of the national American Yoga Alliance. In addition, we offer educational modules in Pre-Natal Yoga, Kids Yoga, Yoga Dance, Yoga Therapy, and Ayurveda. Your yoga teacher training completion certification will be in Multi-Style Yoga. We feel it is imperative in modern times to have a well rounded yoga education. Our graduations are thrilled and have had unique educational experiences with an introduction to multiple yoga styles and traditions so that you may develop your own individual teaching voice. |
