The Yoga I.S.® 300 hour program, comprised of three sections, is 11 weekends total.

-Get an in-depth understanding of muscles, their joint attachments, function, and mechanical abilities in Yoga for an education that is not available in any yoga teacher training to date!

-Understand why the Yogis from years ago came up with chakras and what they mean in relation to our central nervous system

-Understand the cutting edge information coming out of the fields of biochemisty and quantum physics that prove that we truly ARE mind-body! Understand what this means as a health professional and why meditation is essential for lowering stress levels

-Get the the most comprehensive joint range of motion and understanding of the power of isometric strength training with the revolutionary MAT Jump Start Program.  You will be able to help more people than you ever thought possible!
