About the Training
The 8 Limbs Yoga Centers Modular Training is made up of ten weekend immersions from October through April every year. Spread your time, commitment, and studies over the course of 7 months!
Our training is a great fit for both the aspiring teacher and the dedicated practitioner ready to learn more. Whatever level of commitment you choose, the Modular Training offers excellent opportunities to deepen your yogic knowledge and self-study in a supportive community.
