THE ULTIMATE HOME-COMING: TO YOUR BODY, YOUR BREATH, YOUR HEART and SOUL, YOUR TRUE NATURE
our TRANSFORMATIVE yoga teacher training TAKES YOU ON A SACRED JOURNEY BACK HOME TO YOUR TRUE NATURE
Our immersive training experience emphasizes personal growth, transformation, and experiential learning, and the power of Yoga to enrich your experience of Body, Mind/Emotions, and Spirit, while preparing people to teach yoga and share the principles of Heart Alignment Yoga.
We are committed to creating experiential learning programs designed to share the power of Yoga to enrich life on all levels. “Experiential” means you learn by doing, feeling and integrating the principles into your practice and your life as a whole. We are proud to offer a Yoga Teacher Training and 200-hour certification program that prepares teachers to live with a joyful heart connection, to teach with a deeply-felt understanding of the true nature and potential of Yoga practice, and to dedicate their work to sharing the potential of yoga for life enrichment, personal growth, transformation, and wellness in Body, Emotions/Mind, and Spirit.
Sanadora’s International Yoga Teacher Training and Continuing Education modules share the experience and understanding of Heart Alignment Yoga, while emphasizing the benefits of yoga in physical, emotional-mental, and spiritual wellness.
