100-hour Ashtanga Yoga Certification
This program does not start until 2014. If you are interested in learning to teach Ashtanga Yoga in 2013 we recommend you take David Swenson's Teacher Training Immersion at Yoga on High. It begins October 7, 2013 and is open to all yoga teachers and experienced practitioners.
After you have completed the Yoga on High 200-hour Teacher Training Program or an equivalent program, you may choose to specialize in teaching Ashtanga yoga.
