Continuing Education
A continuing education in yoga mainly serves two purposes:
• To deepen your existing knowledge and skills
• To teach new skills and techniques related to teaching yoga
As credible teachers, your classes need to be safe, easy-to-relate, and well-informed. And this can only happen when your own learning is rooted in a good foundation.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are add-on courses that you can optionally participate in once you complete your initial yoga teacher training. These courses are designed to match a person’s ability and area of interest.
