The JOY of Yoga 200-Hour Teacher Training was created in 2006. It represents both western medical approaches and alternative methods to health and well-being, providing knowledge and insight into both the workings of the human body and the nature of mind. This program balances an understanding of the roots of yoga with innovative applications of yoga and mindfulness in contemporary culture.
The training is run by Jennifer Prugh and Noell Clark, both of whom have extensive background in running trainings, and who have devoted their lives to yoga. Jennifer and Noell bring their individual and unique areas of expertise to this program; joining science, art, philosophy, and practice seamlessly to form a well-rounded and holistic program.
This program provides the chance to deeply study a variety of modalities in the form of group classes, and will equip you with incredible skills for all aspects of life. You may take the JOY training to teach professionally, you may take the JOY training for personal development, or you may want to offer others what yoga has offered you. With any motive, you will leave this program equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to live a conscious and inspired life.
