Overview

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga teacher training certification is a Yoga Alliance 200-hour compliant program developed by Drs. Deepak Chopra and David Simon. This practice integrates 5,000-year-old Vedic wisdom with modern yogic interpretations, creating a daily yoga practice to help you unite body, mind, and spirit. Based on the teachings presented in Deepak Chopra and David Simon's popular book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga, this beautiful practice blends meditation, pranayama, yoga philosophy, sun salutations, and asana development to bring you into alignment with the magnificent rhythms of the cosmos.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga Teacher Training begins with experiencing higher states of  consciousness at the Seduction of Spirit meditation and yoga retreat, and learning the foundations of Ayurveda and mind-body healing at the Journey into Healing workshop. Your personal practice continues to deepen with regular connection through webinars and teleconferences and a powerful home study process that concludes with two interactive certification weeks at the Chopra Center (Part A and Part B).

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga teacher training certification infuses your practice with spirit while bringing the seven laws into action each day. Every class plays a crucial role in yoga's path to unity and wholeness, while providing you with a wealth of meditation techniques, mantras, breathing exercises, and yoga poses.

"Enhancing flexibility and releasing stress are as noble a purpose for performing yoga as the awakening of spirituality. This is the great gift of yoga - it serves and nourishes us at every level of our being and spontaneously contributes to greater well being in all domains of life. Yoga will help you discover gifts within yourself that have remained unopened since your childhood - gifts of peace, harmony, laughter, and love." The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga by Drs. Deepak Chopra & David Simon
