A 10-Month Graduate Program
For over a decade, our 200-Hour Immersion has been one of the cornerstones of Prema, introducing hundreds of students to the deeper teachings of yoga while launching countless teaching journeys.
As we look ahead to 2027, we're excited to evolve.
Rather than offering another traditional teacher training, we're creating a graduate program designed to support students/teachers long after their first 200 hours (think 300 hours).
At the heart of this next chapter is Prema Advanced Studies, a ten-month continuing education program made up of ten immersive weekend modules.
While participants may complete the full graduate program, we also recognize that everyone’s path is unique. Some may feel called to deepen their understanding of philosophy, while others want to study prenatal yoga, restorative practices, teaching skills, assists, or harmonium. Therefore, every module will also be available individually - a la carte.
Join us for one weekend, several throughout the year, or commit to the entire ten-month journey. Whether you're looking to refine a specific skill or immerse yourself in the full experience, the program is designed to meet you where you are.
**Enrollment is intentionally kept small to foster meaningful mentorship and connection.
Prerequisite:
Completion of a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training from any recognized school or program. Actively teaching is not a requirement as this is not solely an offering for yoga teachers.
