Heart of Sound in Germany!
Module 1 ~ Jul 9 – Jul 21, 2019
The curriculum highlights, prerequisites, and 200-hour RYT FAQ are exactly the same as our Rishikesh, India programs. The course is designed as a teacher training in preparation for certification, but you may also attend Module 1 as an immersion retreat (for your own growth), or receive Yoga Alliance continuing education credits (100 hours). Join us for mantra, Sanskrit, kīrtan, bhakti yoga, and nāda yoga in beautiful German summertime! For more info specifically about this training in Germany, please read through the FAQs
