2027 Foundations Yoga Teacher Training Application

Yoga Alliance-accredited Foundations Yoga Teacher Training with Dr Karen Kirkness

Level up your practice, refresh your anatomy and learn the skills to teach yoga with confidence.

The course curriculum takes a blended learning approach where trainees engage both online and in person. The syllabus is based on the traditional Ashtanga Yoga of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the Krishnamacharya lineage of asana evolution, and Karen's book, Spiral Bound: Integrated Anatomy for Yoga.

3. Module 3: Yoga Alliance Core Competencies & Homework (self-paced content you can engage with in your own time during the year)

The in-person Module includes movement, anatomy body painting, teaching practice, pranayama and the practical assessment component of this training.
