The Yoga Immersion Program opens the door to personal transformation and spiritual fulfillment. This comprehensive 9-week course offers an opportunity to deepen your practice, experience Yoga as a way of life, and engage in well-rounded studies rooted in the teachings of Integral Yoga—a classical Yoga tradition. All levels of practice are welcome; however, some prior experience is required.
“Yoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should happen within. If you walk in peace and express that peace in your very life, others will see you and learn something.”— Sri Swami Satchidananda
Curriculum Overview
The program offers in-depth learning across various aspects of Yoga practice:
The Integral Yoga Immersion Program provides a strong foundation for those who may wish to become Yoga teachers. It serves as Module 1 of our two-part, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training format. Whether or not you choose to teach, this program will support you in deepening your personal Yoga practice, taking it off the mat, and integrating it more fully into your daily life—helping to cultivate a lasting sense of ease in the body and peace in the mind.
Graduates who complete both Module 1 and Module 2 are certified to teach Beginner Level Hatha Yoga and are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200. You may choose to complete Module 2 within two years to fulfill the full certification requirements.
