Pure Living Yoga has developed an in-depth, nervous system based,
physical and philosophical yoga teacher training course.
This course blends the physical practices within the 8 Limbs of Yoga, Mobility Training, and Meditation Training — while offering guidance on
how to integrate and teach these sacred practices.

Through this 200-hour course, you’ll learn how to:
- share informed approaches to the asanas and meditation, based in
yoga philosophy, modern science, and the nervous system
- embody your confidence and refine your communication style
- confidently assess and guide others towards physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing
