This course is based on the chakra system and the Eight Limbs of Yoga philosophy of Patanjali. The program is taught primarily by Pretzel who for the past 17 years has trained many popular teachers around the Bay Area. Pretzel will teach the yoga asanas, pranayama and meditation. A variety of teachers will provide lessons in anatomy, philosophy and yoga mythology. By the end of your training, you will be able to teach with confidence and will have a comprehensive understanding of the yoga practice.
