You have probably been in a yoga class where the teacher said something about your body that didn't quite add up. Maybe you let it go. Maybe it quietly bothered you for years.
This program is for the person who noticed.
Science-backed and trauma-informed, the Yoga Science School 200-hour training is built on current research in exercise science, anatomy, and nervous system physiology. Research published in Frontiers in Psychiatry (Schleinzer et al., 2024) confirms yoga as a clinically meaningful, non-pharmacological intervention for stress regulation. That is the standard we teach from — not tradition alone, not intuition alone, but evidence you can stand behind in any room.
You do not need to be an advanced practitioner to be here. You do not need a plan to teach. What you need is genuine curiosity about how your body works, and the willingness to spend seven weekends finding out.
That, is enough to change everything.
