Course Outline
All 200 hour teacher training programs at Yogasana are structured as two 100 hour modules. Module A comprises of "foundation/preparation" course, while Module B consists of "Immersion" courses.
However, Module A is not a pre-requisite for Module B. In other words, you may complete either modules, based on dates/location that are convenient for you. But in order to be certified 200 hour with Yoga Alliance, you will need to have completed both Modules A and B.
Yogasana offers various 100 hour (Module A and B) courses throughout the year. However, if you would like to complete both modules (back-to-back) all at once and become certified, the fastest approach will be to register for our 200 hour training programs.
