Total Yoga Immersion - Carrboro, NC (Chapel Hill)
Three week - 230 hour Intensive Yoga Teacher Training Certification
Through Yoga Alliance and the Asheville Yoga Center
This program is our comprehensive training, which runs over three weeks. It is the same curriculum as our 9-weekend over 7-months program. This type of learning works best for those that like to immerse themselves deeply into their studies. This also works for folks that can dedicate a three week stretch to their studies more easily than stretching it out over 9-weekends and 7 months. The Total Yoga Immersion is offered several times a year in a variety of South Eastern cities.

Everything You Need to Know
- Welcome
Our 230 hour program is an intensive-study course for those wanting to deepen their understanding of Yoga, as well as prepare students to teach and practice safely, successfully, and compassionately. We will cover all the physical, philosophical and scientific aspects of Yoga, by introducing you to some of the best Yoga specialists here in the Southeast. Because of our incredible curriculum, many schools are mimicking our program. What a testimony to excellence! We aim to break free of any dogma, ritual or sectarian approach by introducing many styles of Yoga: Iyengar, Anusara, and Flow are the major styles covered, while we also explore Ashtanga, Kundalini, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Desikachar, Restorative, Partner, Bikram, Therapeutic, Psychological and more, in the most compassionate, humorous and thorough of ways. Creativity and personal inspiration will be encouraged as you develop your “own” teaching style.
However, you don’t have to be a teacher, nor even desire to become a teacher to attend these courses. Your Yoga practice will reach new heights as you become more grounded and peaceful through this ancient practice. All classes are held in the beautiful sunny studio at 239 S. Liberty St (corner of E Chestnut and Liberty) in Asheville NC. The certificate you receive will be another step on your path to greater self-awareness and understanding, enabling you to Live your Truth that is Your Yoga.
Our 230 hour program is the first step, open to any serious student of Yoga who has been studying with a teacher for a minimum of six months. Even if you have been teaching Yoga for 20 years, this is an important first step as we start from the beginning for everyone, so we can all safely teach a beginning level Yoga class. Our average student body ranges from ages 22 - 65 years.
