As we face these unprecedented times and learn to live with the new normal, we at Bodhi Yoga Center are trying to find ways to extend our offerings beyond the usual space of our yoga studio. After much planning and deliberation, we are now fully prepared to offer Online Yoga Teacher Training Programs.
This training format is for you if you are:
This Online Yoga Teacher Training is compliant with all the guidelines set by Yoga Alliance. After graduation, trainees shall be able to register themselves as Registered Yoga Teacher with 200 hours of training (RYT-200).
Yoga Alliance Registered
Yoga Alliance has provisioned online delivery of Yoga Teacher Training Courses and advised for sessions to be done live. By doing so, Bodhi’s Yoga Teacher Training is compliant with all the guidelines set by Yoga Alliance. Consequently, our trainees can register themselves with YA after graduation.
We limit the class size to a maximum of only 6 students. This is to ensure that we don’t compromise the quality of instruction and that we give utmost attention to each trainee.
I learned here to have the confidence to design my own sequencing, proper body alignments and to have faith in myself to be able to do the asanas. I made a personal commitment to myself to practice more Yoga asanas, because this time I’m enjoying it.

As yoga teachers, it is our duty to teach practices and techniques that we personally know from our own experience. This allows for more meaningful ways to convey instruction and offer personalized adjustments. To cement this experiential learning, our teacher training program offers intensive practice sessions daily. We dedicate two hours of every training day in developing your own yoga practice.
