YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

This program is unique. It is designed to help you find your own authentic teaching voice and inherent natural style. This teacher training will build a strong foundation and provide teaching techniques that will help the student of yoga transform into a teacher of yoga. It will deepen and build your personal practice as you embark on a transformation journey toward becoming an inspiring yoga instructor. You will be challenged to go deeper into your physical practice and awaken within you, the capacity to guide, inform, and inspire others.

You’ll leave having discovered your true self. To get to your true self, you must examine dreams you have forgotten, fears that are holding you back, and beliefs that are not your own. Finding the courage to discover who you really are will help you realize your true potential.

Prana Wellness & Yoga Academy encourages you to let go of your conditioned and limited beliefs and behaviors. This practice will, only then, help you tap into your true gifts and discover your true purpose. This will be a physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding experience.
 

Prana Wellness & Yoga Academy's goals are to maximize your full potential and to turn your dreams into reality. At the end of the program, they want you to move forward in your life with more clarity, confidence, courage, love, and happiness. They feel the best way to find a deeper connection with your inner being is in a peaceful and natural environment.
