Advanced Studies Program:
This educational 55-hour yoga immersion will establish a solid anchor for your yoga practice. During the program, you will learn to refine individual asanas (poses) and blend this new- found precision with breath to master the liberating power of vinyasa flow yoga. In addition to in-depth asana study, you will have the opportunity to take your personal yoga practice deeper by exploring: all Eight Limbs of Yoga, foundational history and your role in yoga's current process of evolution, philosophy and sacred texts, Sanskrit terminology, Nada Yoga, pranayama, and meditation practices. Through the process of embodying and living this practice, you will discover wisdom and growth both on and off the yoga mat.

*The ASP is a prerequisite for the 200-hour Teacher Training Program, and can also be taken separately.

Teacher Training Program:
Cosmic Dog Yoga is proud to offer a comprehensive 200-hour Teacher Training Program (TTP), registered with the Yoga Alliance. Building on the bedrock of the Advanced Studies Program, teacher trainees will continue on with their studies to complete the remaining 200 hours of training in the following areas: working with asana for all bodies, the principles of flow yoga and intelligent sequencing, verbal and manual adjustments, pranayama techniques, meditation, anatomy and physiology, hands-on teaching, Nada Yoga (mantra), Sanskrit, Ayurveda, and the business practices and ethics of yoga teaching.

The Cosmic Flow Yoga approach is strongly influenced by tantric philosophy, and an intention to sync the rhythms of an ancient spiritual tradition with the realities of our modern world. This blend of modern science with ancient wisdom offers students a teaching method full of integrity. Trainees will leave this program with confidence in their teaching abilities, ready to begin teaching from an authentic voice.
