Yoga Centers College of Yoga

Yoga Centers College of Yoga is a new teacher training program put together by Aadil Palkhivala. Aadil is an amazing teacher. I just completed my second workshop with Aadil at the Yoga Journal conference in San Francisco. He has an incredible foundation of experience in Iyengar Yoga. On top of that, he has integrated the Purna Yoga teachings of Sri Aurobindo.

His training program is not a local bay area one. It is in Bellevue, Washington. However, this program looked very interesting to me. It would involve a significant commitment though. Completion of the two year program would involve several trips a year to the center for intensive training sessions and all told you would end up logging more than 1700 hours between the intensives and your ongoing training/apprenticeship time at home. Needless to say, this program exceeds the requirements for the Yoga Alliance 500 hour standard.
