2. Your 8-Week Online Yoga Teacher Training Journey
The Himalaya Yoga 200-Hour Online Teacher Training is designed
as a structured eight-week learning journey combining
live online classes, guided yoga practice, traditional yogic
knowledge, anatomy, philosophy, teaching methodology,
sequencing and supervised teaching practice.
Instead of completing the training in a short intensive format,
the eight-week structure gives you time to absorb the teachings,
integrate them into your personal practice and gradually develop
confidence as a yoga teacher.
