The practice of yoga has become extremely popular in the West. It is estimated that 20 million Americans practice yoga—a rate that has grown by an average of 20 percent per year since 2000. Still, there are few opportunities for those individuals wishing to gain a strong grasp of yoga beyond merely the practical dimension.

Lifelong Learning's Certificate in Integrated Yoga Studies provides you a stimulating forum for invigorating teaching and learning—an environment where you will be able to embody consciously the principles of yoga in all aspects of life, from the practical to the transcendental.

Yoga Practitioners and Students New to Yoga

Many yoga practitioners find that exposure to yoga philosophy instills a desire for a deeper connection to this dynamic practice. Students new to yoga often want to learn about the history and philosophy of yoga and better understand the different styles and schools of thought. Teachers and advanced students may wish to focus on enhancing particular aspects of yoga or challenging themselves with new areas of study.

Yoga Teachers and Healthcare Professionals

For professionals, including yoga teachers and other healthcare therapists, completing a certificate is often a critical asset for career advancement. The subject matter is concise and focused and, therefore, directly applicable to practical goals. For the busy professional who seeks continued career development without the financial and time commitments of an advanced degree, the Certificate in Integrated Yoga Studies is ideal.
