Want to deepen your yoga practice? The 100-hour Yoga Studies Certificate program is for adult learners and highly motivated college students who wish to explore the theory and practice of yoga in an enriched academic context. The program is also for those who are already regular practitioners of yoga asana who would like to explore the deeper, more contemplative, ethical, and philosophical dimensions of yoga. With a unique emphasis on the integration of intellectual knowledge with experiential embodied awareness, the program allows students the opportunity to study classic yoga ethics, asanas (movement meditation), pranayama (breath meditation), and the philosophical psychology of classical Indian yoga. Program requirements include a combination of a college course, yoga practice and weekend experiential workshops.
