Continuing Education for Teachers
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are an essential part of maintaining and advancing your yoga teaching credentials.These specialized training hours help you deepen your practice and expand your teaching skills. CEUs are documented hours of additional training and education that registered yoga teachers (RYTs) complete to maintain their certification with Yoga Alliance and other certifying bodies.
Why CEU’s Matter

Expand Your Expertise: CEUs offer opportunities to explore specialized areas of yoga, from anatomy and therapeutic applications to specific styles and teaching methodologies.
Enhance Your Teaching: Regular continuing education helps you bring fresh perspectives and refined knowledge to your students, ensuring your teaching remains dynamic and informed.
Professional Growth: CEUs demonstrate your commitment to lifelong learning and professional development.

Whether you're interested in advancing your understanding of yoga philosophy, deepening your anatomical knowledge, or exploring specialized teaching techniques, our courses are designed to support your growth as a yoga professional.
All of our CEU Courses include an additional Alumni Class that meets around three months following the weekend of study to support integration, understanding, and community.
