Welcome to The North Carolina School of Yoga's Yoga Training Programs. Our trainings are designed for serious aspirants of the science of Yoga, including aspiring teachers, current teachers seeking continuing education and for those simply looking to deepen their own Yoga practice. All of our courses are profound and intense opportunities for personal development--physically, mentally and spiritually--following the guidance and precepts of the science of Yoga. Our 250 Hour Yoga Development Training, Advanced Studies Course and Prenatal Training are all approved and registered with the International Yoga Alliance.

Our Yoga trainings are based on the the Classical system of Yoga, encompassing the eight limbs and nine forms of Yoga. Our intention is to share the joy of the spirit of Yoga with you while providing a systematic and comprehensive course in traditional Yoga. The study of Yoga is the study of Self and your life will be changed forever as the miraculous and ancient teachings of Yoga come to life with the deepening of your practice. Yoga is a life of self-discipline. As Yoga purifies, strengthens and balances the body and mind, the practitioner develops perfect health, self control and a peace that surpasses all understanding. Students come from all over the world to attend our training courses, and we have certified students from all over the United States as well as England, Prague, Italy, France, Australia, Liberia, Germany, Latvia, Israel, and Vietnam.   

These deeply transformative and comprehensive training programs provide a solid and unique foundation in all the traditional components of Classical Yoga including Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathwork), Meditation, Purification, Adjustments, Sequencing, Yogic Texts, Yogic Nutrition, Mantra, Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology, Props, Conditions & Injuries, Energetic Anatomy, Philosophy & Ethics, and above all, Yama and Niyama, without which, there will be no success in Yoga. Your training will be conducted in a non-dogmatic, non-sectarian, deeply loving atmosphere. Creating a supportive, nurturing group environment, we will move from integrating the wisdom and integrity of this ancient tradition with the needs of modern society.

In these soul stirring training courses, the true purpose of Yoga is revealed to all participants. The purification of character and conduct, the cleansing of one’s physical and mental nature, wherein the highest state of reality and truth may shine undiminished in the hearts and minds of all participants.  The Universal principles of Spiritual disciplines can elevate the seeker into God communion for all eternity.  This is the goal of Yoga. Reduce your needs and wants.  Lead a happy and contented life.  Never hurt the feelings of others.  Be kind to all.  Think of God as soon as you get up in the morning and all day long.

Om Shanti Om
