The Yoga Journey

Foundational Program and 200-hour Teacher Training

Our foundational program and 200-hour teacher training is designed for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and knowledge, as well as those beginning their journey as yoga teachers. This program will begin in October 2, 2022. Details are below under General Information.

In this two hundred hour experience, students will learn all the essentials of Yoga: practice techniques, anatomy and physiology, the humanities of Yoga through philosophical texts, and the essentials needed to become a professional in the teaching of Yoga. As a foundational program, students will be introduced to many styles of Yoga, including the techniques taught by BKS Iyengar, Patabhi Jois, Sivananda, Anjali Inti, and others. The program will blend onsite instruction at the LMU campus with remote access through live videoconference, as well as site visits in Los Angeles County.

Who Should Participate

This program is designed for individuals who wish to expand, deepen and broaden their knowledge of Yoga, as well as those who are interested in beginning their training as a Yoga teacher. Weekend classes, which meet both in person and online, open the program to those with full-time careers and other commitments.

Program Benefits

Upon successful completion of the program, students will:

• Know the foundational principles, philosophy, and practices of the Yoga tradition
• Be able to shape their own Yoga practice and teach Yoga to others
• Value Yoga as a practice that unites mind, body, and spirit
