Program Description
Synergy Yoga Studio partners with The Himalayan Institute to offer this comprehensive and in-depth program. Join both local teachers and HI faculty
to deepen your understanding of the yoga tradition, expand your personal yoga practice, and discover your full potential as a yoga teacher.
Drawing from ancient yoga theory and modern knowledge of the body and mind, we will cover the whole of yoga practice: yamas and niyamas
(lifestyle guidelines), asana (postures), pranayama (breath training), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration),
dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (self-realization).
During your training, you will have the opportunity to further your yoga practice, teach and receive valuable feedback,
which will put you on the track of a powerful and life-affirming direction, and have fun while doing it!
The program takes place in Synergy's warm, nurturing environment at Three Chopt Center near Innsbrook. The school meets the standards and
guidelines of the National Yoga Alliance, allowing graduates to nationally register as 200-hour yoga teachers at the completion of the program (RYT 200).
