Urban Sadhu Yoga 75 Hour Gateway Teacher Training


The 75 hour Urban Sadhu Yoga™ Gateway Teacher Training is an introduction into the Urban Sadhu Yoga™ Method. The training consists of 5 units. Each unit (1 weekend) is 15+ hours or 7 1/2 hours each day. This short gateway yoga teacher training is perfect for: 1.) as a first time yoga teacher training, 2.) for a yoga teacher looking for continuing education or
3.) for someone who is looking to explore the foundations of the Urban Sadhu Yoga™ Method. 4.) for anyone interested in gaining experience in Public Speaking Skills.

The Urban Sadhu Yoga™ 75 hour Teacher Trainings will provide the trainee with a roadmap for incorporating the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of yoga into a modern yoga practice and teaching skills. The Urban Sadhu Yoga™ method focuses on a non-dualistic philosophy of interaction with the world, deepening the trainees understanding of the concept of the oneness of all beings, uniting instead of dividing us. This awakens spiritual activism in the trainee and the need to protect those who are most vulnerable in our society including the environment, other animals and the planet we all share. The trainee will also develop teaching skills to confidently achieve those goals within the classroom and outside of the classroom.

The Urban Sadhu Yoga™ 75 hour Teacher Training provides a practical foundational introduction to teaching the Urban Sadhu Yoga™ Method, based around the unique Urban Sadhu Yoga™ Express Class sequence — a scripted set vinyasa.
