200 Hour Hatha/Ishta Traditional Yoga Teachers Training Certificate
Pathways Academy of Life – 200 Hour Hatha /Ishta Traditional Yoga Teachers Training Certification is a Curriculum in the Ancient Art Of Yoga, its tradition, psychology and philosophy. Traditional yoga is an eight limb practice, we focus on all eight limbs as we understand that merge of the finite self and Infinite Self, which is the ultimate goal of yoga, is only attainable by mastery of all eight limbs. It teaches one how to integrate the age old teachings and modern day life, into a way of being, bringing balance, inner peace and fulfillment to life. It is non-denominational and open to all. Pathways Academy of Life is a CYS & RYS with World Yoga Alliance and students are eligible and have the option to register as CYT with certificate from them on completion of training. Traditional Yoga Teachers Training was done with small groups to ensure personalized attention and allow people to be in a save space while learning and processing. This tradition lives on at Pathways Country Yoga Retreat.
