Hi, I'm Leigha.
As a former Literature professor and practicing yogi, I’ve been teaching and digesting the Yoga Sutras for over a decade. Often asked to teach Philosophy modules, this course is my proudest offering. It’s refreshing to be able to teach the true path of yoga, and I believe the community is so ready.Â
FAQ
How long does it take to finish?
This depends on if you do the reading alongside the lessons (recommended).Â
I recommend giving yourself around 3 weeks to fully absorb and digest the material.Â
If you choose not to do the readings, you could binge it in a couple of days (not recommended).Â
Is this live or can I take it in my own time?
Take it in your own time!Â
I host a weekly (optional + free) live session where you can go deeper if you want to.Â
I took your 200hr YTT. Can I take this too?
Most of these lessons come right from our YTT, so you are actually entitled to take this course for free. Just email me!
Note that I have added vocabulary sheets and new quizzes — so it could be a great refresher.Â
I was thinking of taking your YTT in the future. Can I take this first?
Yes. The price of the course will be deducted from your Yoga Teacher Training balance.Â
