It’s registered with Yoga Alliance at 200 hours, so graduates can immediately become Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®-200). Small classes at our Ananda Portland Yoga center (maximum of 20 students) means more individual attention for you. All I hoped for was a training program that emphasized the spiritual quality of yoga. I learned more than I could have imagined and feel forever changed. The quality of education I received is a direct result of the purity of intention and utter devotion of my teachers. I have received the best education available. - a former student Hatha Yoga is the physical branch of Raja Yoga (raja means "royal"), the ancient, systematic, and scientific, method of reaching super-consciousness or Self-Realization.

Affirmations An affirmation is a statement of truth which one aspires to absorb into his life. Our minds express, and also influence, the reality of what we are. Our thoughts even influence to a great extent, our physical health.		Asanas Learn how to adapt the asana to your own level of flexibility and experience, while exploring the spiritual dimensions of hatha yoga and the yoga/meditation connection.
Anatomy Learn and experience how to get pain relief and increase flexibility in weak or injured joints. Safely strengthen and stabilize problem areas and reduce the risk of back pain and posture problems.		Pranayama Our intermediate students develop a deeper understanding of asanas as a path to inner awakening by going more deeply into the practice of pranayama, energy flows, affirmations, and exploring adaptations for the more difficult poses.
