Whether one is pursuing a career in yoga or wants to delve deeper into the practice of yoga as a student and practitioner, Okra’s program will support anyone’s needs. The curriculum provides experience in many different modalities and styles so that students find their own voice and what authentically speaks to them and represents their path, preparing one to teach yoga plus foster becoming a lifelong student of yoga.

Students will go beyond the studies of the postures into yoga history, philosophy, pranayamas, meditation and chanting. Physical anatomy as related to asana will be covered along with more subtle energetic bodies. Students will also learn about yoga ethics, lifestyles and the business of yoga. Several guest teachers will share their expertise. Past guests have taught Sanskrit, ayurveda and kirtan workshops.
