BASIC PRACTITIONER'S PROGRAM
Rishi offers ongoing programs for practicing Yogi's and Yogini's who are not interested in becoming instructors but desire to deepen their knowledge of the history and philosophy of yoga. Anatomy related to yoga and a thorough knowledge of the foundation, form and benefit of many of the basic asanas and the formula to create a safe, dynamic personal practice are a part of the practitioner's curriculum.

TEACHER'S CERTIFICATION PROGRAM:
Several Teacher's Certification programs are offered throughout the year. Registered with Yoga Alliance, Rishi Yoga Institute offers basic certification as Yoga Instructor as well as offering continuing education toward a personal 200 hour R.Y.T. certificate.

Our curriculum is Vinyasa-based with discussion of the various other styles of Hatha Yoga. Each term teaches Asana and a formula for creating a sound, safe and dynamic practice. You will study the history and philosophy of Yoga as well as anatomy and physiology as they relate to the practice. You will learn different methods of meditation and participate in a study program and discussion of the Yoga Sutras.

Upon graduation you will be certified and eligible to teach at any yoga studio, spa or gym in the United States. Additional symposia, intensives and workshops are offered to assist in your ongoing education toward becoming a R.Y.T. So that you are able to receive the personal attention you deserve, our practical sessions are kept to no more than ten participants. We offer three terms each year; spring session beginning mid-May, fall session beginning mid-September and winter session beginning mid-January. Basic certification classes are held on weekends, Saturday 2:30PM until 6:00PM and Sunday classes from 1:00PM until 6:00PM. Ours is a ten week program, the tenth week being graduation. Continuing education classes are announced quarterly and once you are certified, you are eligible to attend.
