Through study of classical and modern text alike, students will learn foundational concepts of how to use this knowledge to facilitate a strong Yoga Asana, Pranayama, and meditation practice as well as how to apply these principles in everyday life. Additionally, students learn and practice methods of effectively introducing these principles as a Hatha Yoga teacher.
