EMPOWER YOUR PRACTICE. SERVE OTHERS. HELP HEAL THE WORLD.

Many yoga teacher training programs teach asana; few teach the full 8-limbed path of classical yoga. Join master teacher Beryl Bender Birch, founder of The Hard & The Soft Institute, to take a deep dive into the therapeutic aspects of yoga and get certified as a RYT 200 or RYT 500.

 

The Hard & The Soft’s 200 and 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings are unique programs that prepare you to practice and share the powerful therapeutic tools of asana, meditation, conscious breathing and mindfulness – and pave the way for a career in yoga service, helping you participate in healing the world and our planet. Through these highly respected programs, you’ll study with some of the best and most experienced teachers and certified yoga therapists in the country; and develop an Individualized Yoga Plan (IYP) to take the next steps towards working with specialized populations.

Most importantly, you’ll explore the importance of taking your practice out into the world. And you’ll join a diverse, well-educated global community of graduates who are working to grow, evolve, strengthen their communities and spread this incredible practice called yoga.
