This training is for you if you are looking to deepen your practice, learn proper alignment and understand the energetic intention behind the postures, as well as do a deep dive into your WHY. Learn about the thousands of years old wisdom and history of yoga, Patanjali’s 8 limbs of Yoga, the why behind meditation and the poses, and gain personal experience as a teacher with 4 monthly 1 on 1 sessions with master training Jessica Nobrega following your graduation. Many people after their training feel like they would like more practice teaching or feedback before they are comfortable in a public teaching environment. This experience is for those who would like a more personalized approach.
Fostering a healthy and balanced lifestyle is a priority of the Yoga Science School. Yoga provides all of that and more; it promotes physical fitness, mental well-being, stress reduction, and can be a source of income while doing something GOOD for YOU.
