Course Overview & Intent

The flagship offering of the School of Hatha Yoga is the 200-Hour residential Teacher Training Course. It is an intensive 28-day journey designed to cultivate physical health, mental clarity, and deep self-discipline.

It is demanding: It requires consistent participation, early rises, and mauna (noble silence) hours. It is not a vacation or a retreat. It is suitable for practitioners aged 16–80, both absolute beginners looking for a solid foundation and advanced practitioners wanting to clarify alignment and scriptural theories.
