Going Deeper is a 25-hour program created for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge and deepen their practice through an immersive study of yoga philosophy and history. Learn the foundational framework for how yoga views the whole Self, and tools that contextualize ancient techniques for contemporary living.

This is a track designed for current teachers and/or students of yoga who are not pursuing yoga teacher training certification, yet want to continue to study the ancient roots, philosophy and psychology of yoga from a trauma-informed lens. Lectures take place in September with the Yoga Teacher Training cohort. If you do not live in the Chicago area and are unable to travel to the studio for weekend lectures, this program is being offered in a hybrid format so that you can join on Zoom. You can view the training calendar here.
