Pranalife Yoga Teacher Training

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined.
~ Henry David Thoreau


It is my passion to empower yoga teachers. This YTT program encourages excellence as an instructor. The training is offered as a series of 60-hour Modules to make becoming a yoga teacher accessible to people who desire to teach but may not have $3000-$6000 to drop on certification up front. This will also give you time between Modules to apply what you learn so you come to each new course with more experience and confidence.

This is your opportunity to develop a strong foundational understanding of yoga and turn it into a great career. I look forward to working with you - let’s rock the mat!

Asia Nelson, Certified Advanced Yoga Instructor and Pranalife Yoga Director

BE GREAT.

Pranalife has drawn from years of experience in living a vibrant yoga lifestyle and career to create each Teacher Training module. Pranalife YTT Modules include study of:

  • anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics
  • yoga postures (asana) and breath work (pranayama)
  • great class design based on vinyasa flow sequencing principles
  • yoga psychology
  • the art of great yoga teaching
  • business foundations for being an abundant yogi
  • the Eight Limbed philosophy of the Yoga Sutras
  • yoga’s relevance on and off the mat in the modern world

In each unique module we’ll focus on subjects like how to find your ideal clients, how to keep loving yoga long-term, and insights into how to take yoga beyond yoga classes.

This training is designed to take you beyond good to become something great - that something great you want to be. You will be challenged to grow, learn, and change. Become a Pranalife Yoga Certified Instructor and rock the mat as a pro with the support of amazing people and resources. Join the evolution!

 

The amount I learned from Module One with Asia exceeded all expectations I had of the course or my own relationship with yoga. Asia presented a very thoughtful, well-structured and incredibly interactive program that enabled me to learn and grow immensely. I’d highly recommend Asia to anyone from the yoga-clueless to the advanced yogi. I’m proud to be linked with Pranalife!

Program Details

*NOTE* Module numbers (I, II, III, IV) don’t indicate sequence; you do not have to take them in order nor do you have to take all of them. Each module focuses on certain aspects of the vast practice of yoga.  You may be certified after a single 60 hour Module, pending approval from the lead instructor.

Generally, you will be required to take multiple modules plus supplementary workshops and seminars for full 200 hour + yoga instructor certification, and you can combine your current training with Pranalife modules to move from 200 to 500 hour Advanced Certification.
