Purusha Holistic Yoga teaches classic yoga and modern science. This ancient knowledge is now validated with ongoing current research. Yoga is an integrative part of an emerging whole health system. Our school provides specialized certifications to Health Professionals, Counselors, Educators, and people seeking a whole new career pathway. You can join our school to enrich your own personal life and watch how transformation happens around you and through you. These powerful practices create change. We suggest you start with your 200 hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training as a foundation for learning the 8 limb system of classic holistic yoga.
Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science
Holistic Approach
At every level of training and within each course there is a strong and consistent pedagogy of integrating the complete human experience through the five Kosha holistic model. This includes physical, mental/emotional, wisdom, energetic, and spiritual levels as well as community and lifestyle practices.
Become An Authentic Leader
Our goal is to gently guide you toward exploring, discovering, and expressing your own unique truth, talents and skills. As you cultivate this deeper understanding of yourself as an emerging teacher, guide, healer and coach you will naturally attract the clients you are meant to lead. You will learn modern methodologies such as those used in typical counseling psychology, somatic experiencing, exercise science, social/emotional growth, and human potential.
At Purusha you will gain a strong aptitude to address all stages of life and serve all people, especially those who would not otherwise be exposed to these practices such as under served and at-risk populations.
