Four nine-day Intensives (YTT Levels 1 through 4) form the core of our teacher training program. This format immerses you in yoga, creating a profound opportunity for personal growth and transformation of your body, mind, heart, soul and more. Course materials include handouts with detailed descriptions of the poses, including their benefits, mechanics, anatomy, and teaching methodology. In addition to developing the depth of your yoga experience, you are specifically trained to teach classes and help individual students get the best results in poses.
Prerequisites: Foundations of SvaroopaŽ Yoga within 6 months of first Intensive, or a Foundations Review.

Develop Your Teaching Skills (DTS)
Once you have completed your Intensive, you begin the DTS training. While you are guided and supported by a personal Mentor, this is a self-study program in which you review all the material covered in your One-Level Intensive, as well as plan how to teach your classes for your students.
There are three teaching themes covered in each DTS module:
- Level 1 Themes—Daily Practice, Lower Spinal Release, Upper Spinal Release
- Level 2 Themes—Abdominals, Backbends, Standing Poses
- Level 3 Themes—Forward Bends, Neck & Shoulders, Balance & Inversions
- Level 4 Themes—Classical Poses, Vinyasa, Twists & Seated Poses
These four modules are correspondence courses that you complete from your home. You work in teams of two or three students along with your Mentor, to enhance your ability to translate the material from your Intensive into the actual teaching you are doing in the classroom. Through telephone conference calls and by the reviewing and sharing of lesson plans, you and your team refine your teaching skills and get all your questions answered.
You are qualified as a 200-hour R.Y.T. with Yoga Alliance upon your successful completion of Levels 1 & 2 and their DTS Modules. When you successfully complete all 4 9-Day courses, all four DTS Modules, Embodyment and Experiential Anatomy, you are qualified as a 500-hour R.Y.T. and as a Certified SvaroopaŽ Yoga Teacher.
