About the 200-Hour Course at Bodhi Academy

The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training program at Bodhi Academy is a transformative experience designed to ground students in the foundational principles of yoga, blending tradition with modern understanding. Through a flexible hybrid format—offered both online and in-studio—you'll immerse yourself in a comprehensive curriculum that prepares you to lead with confidence while deepening your personal practice.

Three Pillars of the Curriculum

Traditional Ashtanga Yoga

Rooted in the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, this pillar provides an in-depth study of the traditional primary series, focusing on methodology and dialogue. It offers the origin of “vinyasa” as a dynamic and synchronized practice that builds discipline and enhances body awareness.

Original Hot Yoga (26+2)

Referenced as "Hatha" in our curriculum, this style, also known as Bikram or Ghosh yoga, emphasizes the classic hot yoga sequence. You'll learn dialogue and methodology that cultivate strength, focus, and alignment through structured practices.

Restorative Practices

A holistic exploration of gentle and therapeutic yoga, this pillar incorporates, Somatic movement techniques, yoga philosophy for healing, gentle flow sequences, introductory breathwork, and deep neural resets and yoga nidra. These practices foster relaxation, nervous system balance, and deeper connections between mind and body.
