200-Hour Teacher Training Program
Training Overview
The North East Power Yoga 200-hour Teacher Training is a comprehensive foundational immersion rooted in the classical traditions of yoga and taught through a modern, accessible approach.
This program is designed for students who seek to deepen their understanding of yoga as a complete discipline - not only as physical practice, but as a holistic system that integrates philosophy, history, ethics, anatomy, embodiment, and teaching methodology.
