200-hour teacher training
200 hours that will transform your life! Becoming a certified yoga teacher is more than just learning how to teach. It's an exploration of the physical and philosophical depths of yoga.
The Yoga Garden has conducted teacher training programs for over ten years. We base our approach on up-to-date teaching techniques, medically-informed physical practices and a proven understanding of what it takes to shine as a teacher.
We look forward to working with you to develop your own unique identity as a teacher.
