Pranakriya^TM 500hr Professional Level Yoga Teacher Training Program

This 500-hour program is for students who have completed our 200-hour Basic Training program. We will also accept students into the program who are graduates of any Yoga Alliance approved 200-hour yoga teacher training.

There is no application procedure or fees to start our 500-hour program, and students do not need to take the courses in any specific order. After completing an approved 200-hour yoga teacher training, you may take the 10 courses as we rotate through them at Radiant Well-being and other locations. After finishing each course you will receive a letter of completion. When you have completed your 10 courses you may register with us as a Pranakriya Professional Level Yoga Teacher. There is a $50 registration fee to review your letters and issue your certificate. With this certificate you may register with the Yoga Alliance as a 500-hour graduate of a Registered Yoga School.

We welcome teachers and students from other traditions who wish to take courses in our training for personal enrichment or CEUs. Many of our courses are appropriate for student practitioners. Some involve practice teach exercises or discussions on teaching methodology and participation in these courses is restricted to graduates of a Yoga Alliance approved yoga teacher training.

All contact hours are with Yoganand Michael Carroll, ERYT-500, or other approved Pranakriya program directors. The Functional Anatomy and Therapeutic Yoga program is taught by a licensed physical therapist.

Our 500 hour Professional Yoga Teacher program allows students to deepen their own practice as well as to help them develop their teaching skills to lead workshops and retreats. There is a core curriculum and electives so that the student can deepen their knowledge into their areas of interest.
