The 50-Hour Yoga Teacher Training curriculum runs parallel to the 200-Hour course, and introduces the question, "What is Yoga?" This inquiry establishes the foundation for the next 8 days and 7 nights, while we explore Hatha Yoga postures, as well as introduce Sanskrit terms for each asana, without the expectation that you have a high degree of proficiency in their use. Students are exposed to a foundational understanding of the human organism according to Western science and Ayurveda, to create a bridge between Eastern and Western ideologies and help students begin making connections for themselves.This 50-hour YTTC is a part of 200-hour teacher training courses for students who do not have the time to complete the 200-hour course in four consecutive weeks. It is also possible to attend this program as an intensive retreat / immersion without any obligation to take other course to complete 200-hour course.
