This 300-hour program provides everything you need as mandated by Yoga Alliance in philosophy, anatomy, business, wisdom, sutras, kriyas, meditation, pranayama, adjustment, the art of teaching, language of energy, and nutrition. We teach Sadhana Shamanic Yoga, the Yoga of Spiritual Practice and the asana practice of Vinyasa, Hatha and restorative flow. Our approach is experiential, contemporary and eclectic. We bring to life the ancient teachings of yoga and Shamanism through accessible spiritual lessons and their relevance today.

The graduates commonly report receiving much more than a yoga certificate from the program. It is often described as a life-changing experience that provides an opportunity for individuals to know themselves and a deep and lasting way. Zen Den Yoga School offers the students the opportunity to embark on a journey that brings them to a place of deeper knowing. The yoga teacher training offers much more than the physical aspect of yoga, it guides you along a yogic and shamanic journey of transformation mind, body and spirit.

You will receive the 300-hours yoga teacher training manual electronically, you will be required to order The Upanishads and Yoga Sutras from Amazon (you can use the electronic version or bring the book). The students get the opportunity to practice asanas and the respective alignments; explore the advanced aspects of the Yoga Sutras and Upanishads; experience and learn to dive deeper into numerous meditation techniques, and of course perform regular peer-teaching. You will develop your own next level business plan and get to learn how to make six figures. You will learn the business and marketing of being a yoga teacher, including a thorough understanding of how to be advantageous in saturated markets. Training is intensive physically as well, students do a 90-minute asana practice in the morning and in the afternoon, in addition to delving into further studies through-out the day. Be prepared for the challenges of this intensive on all levels – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
