Online Study Modules

SHORT COURSES FOR OPEN MINDS

The study of Yoga is virtually endless.
There are so many different branches which have sprung from the great tree of Yoga that sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start…

We at Swara Yoga have selected these subjects for our Online Curriculum because we believe that these are vital areas of study for Yoga Teachers, filling in many of the blanks which are not explored in Yoga Teacher Training Immersions.
Some of these modules reference ancient philosophy while others explore modern modalities, but all of them are highly relevant to modern Yoga and serve to give our teachings depth and colour. 

ACCESSIBLE WISDOM

These Online Modules have been designed to put forward the core teachings of each subject, granting you practical wisdom which is easily digested and integrated at your own pace.

Each module contains audio lectures, a PDF study guide, and a recommended reading list. Some courses contain video presentations, others include a complete E-book. Some also include relevant meditation or asana practices. We want to offer you the best online yoga teacher training available!

TRAUMA INFORMED YOGA

This module explores the process of Trauma and its relationship to Yoga practice. Yoga can serve as a great support in the healing of Trauma by stabilizing the nervous system, however, the feeling of clarity and unity that Yoga offers us cannot be felt or even approached if the nervous system is in distress.
