What to expect at 200-hour yoga teacher training

Foundations

In this 200-hour yoga teacher training, you’ll dive deep into the foundational philosophies of yoga to gain a clear understanding of these often abstract and mystical concepts. You’ll learn a unique method of breathing that stimulates the vital energies of the body, providing strength and balance in a way you’ve never before experienced. A detailed study of anatomy, biomechanics, and integrated systems of the body helps you achieve a new level of stable and empowering postural alignment.

Intelligent class sequencing

Zuna Yoga® class sequencing is grounded in the same principles that animate the natural world — elegance, efficiency, and fluidity. You’ll learn to use a wide variety of yogic tools such as asana, bandha, pranayama, and meditation.

Every class at your 200-hour yoga teacher training is a meaningful journey that supports the continually changing needs and abilities of body, mind, and spirit. By applying the sciences of yoga and Tantra, you will gain a firm understanding of how to approach your practice and teaching. The sequencing is creative, purposeful, effective, and truly transformative.

Integration

Go beyond the intellectual ideas and techniques that you have learned in this course, integrating these concepts into meaningful practice. When the body, breath, and mind are cohesively aligned, you’ll experience yoga as it was always meant to be, expressing your power with grace.

As your practice of yoga and self-discovery evolves, you’ll uncover the radiance and wisdom that lie within. You then weave these threads of inner truth into the fabric of being, to live authentically, courageously, and joyfully.

Body wisdom

The body is a storehouse of wisdom and experience. Vitalizing, conditioning, and coordinating the systems of the body is essential for its inner wisdom to be experienced. This 200-hour yoga teacher training course provides a strong foundation in the physical aspects of yoga: asana, alignment, anatomy, physiology, adjustments, modifications, and cautions to empower your relationship with your body.

Mind mastery

Yogic philosophy is largely dedicated to understanding yourself and what drives your choices and behaviors, so you can truly know yourself. Meditation is a practical tool for this journey to self-knowledge, where you learn to create a relationship with your truest nature. You will be guided through powerful and effective meditation techniques, and create a foundation for a practice that will serve you long after your training is over.

Soulful discovery

One of the primary aims of the Zuna Yoga® system is to first reveal and then create a healthy relationship with the authentic self. Through the skillful practice of asana, breathing techniques, deep relaxation, and meditation, the program plots a course for an inward journey to discover this radiant expression of truth and self, a journey of self-remembrance that defines the true promise of yoga: to live peacefully, powerfully, and joyfully.

Are you ready?

The Zuna Yoga® 200 hour yoga teacher training course is for intermediate yogis who are ready to learn what makes yoga work, develop a solid foundation of practice, and are interested in moving beyond just the physical. About half of the students sign up for the course with the explicit intention of becoming a yoga teacher, others just want to learn.

If you have a regular yoga practice, you may be more ready than you think. Zuna Yoga welcomes participants with a solid foundation in the basic and fundamental yoga postures.

The best way to prepare for a 200-hour yoga teacher training retreat is to keep practicing yoga! Develop a regular practice of at least an hour, three times a week. Try different styles and different teachers, at your local studio or online. Practice mindfully and aim for gradual progress to avoid injury.

This 200-hour yoga teacher training is not only for aspiring teachers, but also for curious, passionate yogis who want to strengthen their knowledge, and practice.

This course is for intermediate to advanced yogis who are ready to move beyond the poses into the more transformative elements of yoga. Zuna Yoga strongly recommends applicants have one year of consistent asana practice with minimal limitations. An open mind, and a willingness to go deep and move past established habits.

You should be relatively comfortable practicing intermediate backbends and are working on inversions.

Some experience in meditation is highly recommended.

It is important to engage in this training with a level of maturity, a willingness to learn, discipline, curiosity, and an understanding of the limits of your own body.
