Round Rock Yoga

The Yoga Room’s 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program is rooted in the Krishnamacharya tradition of yoga, as learned by Zelinda at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, TN, India.

Krishnamacharya is known as the father of modern yoga, and the Krishnamacharya tradition is the oldest of the modern styles of yoga available to us today. It is unique and special in many ways:

True mindfulness is integrated into the practice through the importance placed on the relationship between breath and movement. It is a very comprehensive tradition: there are clear connections between the physical yoga practice, the eight limbs of yoga, and the traditional texts of yoga philosophy. There is great emphasis on teaching yoga in a way that is accessible and beneficial for the student.

This program is designed for sincere yoga students who are interested in teaching yoga in the Krishnamacharya tradition, and also for those who are interested in deepening their understanding of yoga and do not currently intend to teach. You will learn:

How to deepen your personal practice Anatomy & Physiology Classical āsana sequences in the Krishnamacharya tradition Āsana simplifications, intensifications, and contraindications Classical prāṇāyāma (breathing) techniques How to observe students How to design a yoga practice Yoga history and philosophy Introduction to Ayurveda Introduction to prenatal and postnatal yoga Best practices for teaching yoga in person and online Business and ethics for yoga teachers And much more The Krishnamacharya tradition values the relationship between the student and the teacher. As such, we limit our class size to make sure all Teacher Trainees are supported in their growth and learning. If you are ready to deepen your studies with Yoga Teacher Training, we encourage you to apply early to secure your spot.
