The 200-hour Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher Training Certification is the first of its kind in New York City . Together we will explore the unique interfaith between yoginis, vaidyas and physicians.

This course combines 100 hours of key modules from the PRANA MANDIR Yoga Teacher Training Program with 100 hours of key modules from the Dinacharya Ayurvedic Lifestyle Counselor Training and Certification Program.
The aim of the training program is to certify Yoga teachers to work with and teach to student's individual doshas (ie, constitutions). A Dinacharya Ayurvedic Yoga teacher honors the uniqueness of each individual. Ayurvedic Yoga teachers will also be trained to work with students of all levels and levels of interest. Our approach is about attunement with the Self, assisting students to find wellness by skillfully and intuitively applying the Yogic methods best suited for them. Graduates will be able to assess individual constitutions and make recommendations based upon diet and lifestyle, sleep patterns, thought patterns and to use Ayurveda and Yoga to support balance. This is a holistic and traditional approach to Yoga incorporating hatha yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breath work) & meditation to lead a healthy and content lifestyle and to increase Self-awareness. The teacher training course is by application only and is open to students with a serious yoga practice.
