Dharma Yoga 200-hour Life of a Yogi Teacher Training

The Dharma Yoga Life of a Yogi (DY LOAY TT) 200-hour Teacher Training is an exploration of the classical, yet modern Dharma Yoga Method, with an emphasis placed on mastering both physically and through teaching the Dharma I and Dharma Gentle class series.

We are currently offering our LOAY January/February & June 2021 200 hour Teacher Trainings entirely online due to the current situation surrounding COVID-19.

Sri Dhamra Mittra 200 Hour

Requirements

The main requirement is to have a desire to help others and guide them on their yoga journey. All applicants are required to have had at least 50 hours of Dharma Yoga instruction. To the extent possible, such instruction should consist of attending classes with Sri Dharma Mittra, retreats or workshops with him, or classes with Dharma Yoga Registered Teachers (DYRTs) who have extensive training under him.

If necessary, you can satisfy this requirement by attending Sri Dharma Mittra’s streaming classes via Zoom as well as AloMoves, YogaVibes, OmStars, or Vimeo.

Daily Schedule

Please note the schedule below is for our online offerings of the January/February and June 2021 200 hour teacher training. Unfortunately, it is unlikely we be able to offer an in-person 200 hour training for 2021, however, we will of course update this information if something changes. The times listed below are live sessions- we are partnering with an online learning provider, World Mastery, which will allow for more flexibility. All sessions of the training will be recorded and saved to the World Mastery platform for viewing at your convenience for up to one year after the end of the training. While we do encourage you to participate “live” when possible, this additional option is very valuable for anyone with specific scheduling conflicts as you will not miss any of the material. All sessions will be hosted via the World Mastery platform and will require internet as well as a computer or smartphone/tablet with video capabilities to participate. 

 

Monday – Friday: 7 – 11:30 a.m. EST / 2:30 – 6 p.m. EST (8 hours total)

Saturdays: 7 – 9:30 a.m. EST / 1:30 – 5:30 p.m. EST (6.5 hours total)

Sundays: Off- will have the ability to complete some required class attendance during this time if desired.

This training is an intensive immersion and a lot of material is covered in a condensed period. The process will allow for a lot of positive change, but you must be sure to eat and rest accordingly. It is important to note all times are listed in Eastern Standard Time, please take this into consideration as these time frames may be different depending on where you live.

    Financial Assistance is available for qualified candidates who demonstrate financial need, an earnest desire to help spread the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra and have been connected in some way to the larger Dharma Yoga community prior to application. Meeting the eligibility guidelines for the DY work-study scholarship is not a guarantee that you will receive one. Financial Aid is determined based on the degree of need, annual household income, the ratio of worthy applicants to resources devoted to Financial Aid and the applicant’s sincere desire to become a Certified Dharma Yoga Instructor (DYRT).

  • Application process for financial aid

    Candidates must apply for, be accepted into the Dharma Yoga Life of a Yogi Teacher Training program and pay the $2,000 reservation deposit to secure a place in the training before applying for Financial Aid. To apply for Financial Aid, request the DY LOAY TT Scholarship Application Form from us. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first serve basis up to 2 months before the start date of each training. Please note that the Dharma Yoga Center is not a non-profit, has no endowment fund and receives no federal or state funding for its programs. Most often if financial aid is awarded based on a variety of factors, it will only cover a percentage (15-20%) of the overall tuition.

there is no better place to learn than at the DYC. It’s pure yoga as it
has been taught over the centuries by Sri Dharma’s lineage of
