Professor Christopher Key Chapple, Ph.D., author, scholar, and founding director of Yoga Studies at LMU, invites you to formation as a yoga teacher.

One of the greatest gifts you can give the world is passing along the knowledge and wisdom you have learned to another. We are able to practice yoga today thanks to the generations of teachers who have passed on this art of living since antiquity.

As a Yoga Alliance registered school (RYS^®), the LMU Center for Religion and Spirituality is pleased to provide a variety of learning opportunities for those who feel called to serve as yoga teachers.
