Immersion into the Yoga Tradition (IYT) Immersion - Track 1 (RYT®200)

RYT200 The Immersion into the Yoga Tradition Track 1 is designed for students interested in pursuing RYT®200 accreditation with Yoga Alliance.

This unique program provides a solid philosophical introduction to the Yoga tradition, a preliminary exploration into pranayama, meditation, Sanskrit and subtle anatomy and an overview of Ayurveda. The program meets seven times over the course of a year.

Additionally, you will learn to teach and break down beginner and intermediate level poses including standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists and restoratives.

The curriculum is designed to immerse you in the philosophy and practices of this ancient tradition and to provide you with the fundamental skills necessary to teach. The scheduling of weekends gives you time to process and assimilate the information received each month and to get prepared for the next month.

A highlight of the program are the guest teachers sprinkled throughout the program to enhance your experience. Teachers are chosen for their expertise in certain areas and are well respected throughout the yoga community. Guests for the 2011 program include Yogiraj Rod Stryker, Gary Kraftsow, Linda Howard and more.
