​Students of Satya Life School of Yoga will earn a 200 hour Yoga Teacher certificate from a Yoga Alliance registered school. Led by MPY teacher Kate Hawthorne (E-RYT 200), this training program focuses on weaving the Eight Limbs of yoga into an inspiring vinyasa flow class. Students will learn what makes a good yoga class and how to craft a challenging and fulfilling class for yogis of all levels. There will be extensive study of anatomy and alignment as well as real teaching experience at every session. This nine-weekend course includes self-directed reading, journaling, and self-practice outside of class meetings and allows students to reflect and practice what they’ve learned. To receive certification students must be present for all training sessions, complete homework, and teach a one-hour class.
