Beginning a Yoga Teacher Training can sometimes be scary or be a very anxiety-provoking situation whether it be time constraints, finances, self doubt, etc. Our training is like no other. If time is an issue and you can’t commit to a weekend, weeknight, or immersion then you are a excellent candidate for our Independent Study. If finances are a challenge try our weekend programs that have payment plans available. If you are overridden with anxiety and self doubt, Ganesha’s offers a warm and supportive environment that is about building people up and not tearing them down. Consequently, when you come to training we want you to feel relaxed and be in a relaxed and supportive learning environment.
If anybody understands about going through Immersions or Year Long Programs it is us. We have been there ourselves!

Our 200 hour Yoga Alliance approved program is an intensive study course for those wanting to deepen their understanding of yoga, as well as prepare students to teach and practice safely, successfully, and compassionately. We will cover all the physical, philosophical and scientific aspects of yoga in our training.
We aim to break free of any dogma, ritual or sectarian approach by introducing many styles of yoga: Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Chair, and Beginner Yoga are the major styles covered, while we also explore Kundalini, Power Yoga, Hot Yoga, and more.
Your yoga practice will reach new heights as you become more knowledgeable and compassionate. All classes are held in Kernersville and each class is limited to 5-15 students. There are three options to complete your training; a weekly class of four hours, a once monthly all-weekend training, and a 15- day immersion training . The credentials you receive after successfully completing your study will serve as a testament to the knowledge and competency you have attained through your training. You will receive a certificate suitable for framing so you can proudly display it.
Yoga teachers build strength through dedication and discipline, constantly challenging themselves and their students. Do you have what it takes to inspire others to be their best? If so, then becoming a yoga instructor maybe for you.

What’s the difference between the 15-Day Intense Training Immersion and 12
month program?
The difference between the immersion and the longer weekend/weeknight program is based on preference and scheduling. They are identical curriculum. Some people really thrive in the immersion atmosphere (living, eating, breathing yoga for 15-days) and some want to process slower. In the longer program, you might have more time to digest and assimilate the information in your daily life and practice. Whereas for the immersion, you get all the information in a concentrated amount of time and then we set you free to navigate the journey of assimilation and integration.
It is structured in such a way for all students to be successful. The decision to take the 15-day Intensive or 12-month is totally up to you.
