The Purple Lotus Yoga home study course is an extensive 3 to 6 month, in-depth, self-paced program providing more than 200 hours of instruction. 
 
Within the home study course, you'll receive all the necessary materials to deepen you knowledge about yoga and its deep roots. All the materials come with a step-by-step instructions for completion as well as unlimited email support.

Different personalities require different kinds of structure however adopting a two-fold approach of study and practice provides the best transfer and integration of the material. The curriculum is designed to cover all the material through 4-5 hours a week (study) plus 2-3 times a week for asana classes (practice). This includes time for review, study questions and enrichment exercises. Maintaining a personal yoga practice is vital during the course of studies as it allows students the opportunity fully embody what they are studying.

What You'll Receive:

• Heart of Yoga by TKV Desikachar
• CDs or audio downloads of different sections. These are actual on-site classes we have recorded of the different sections of materials.  
• Videos or downloads of some class material where demonstrating is vital to learning such as breathing techniques and posture breakdown. Some class lectures may be transferred to video as well.
