What a yoga certification from Santosh Yoga gives you
A yoga certification is more than a piece of paper. It is evidence that you have gone through a structured, comprehensive program and have the knowledge and skills to teach responsibly and effectively.
At Santosh Yoga, the training is rooted in traditional yogic practice. The focus is on genuine understanding — not just technique, but the philosophy, history and lifestyle principles that make yoga a complete system.

Confidence to teach
The practical skills and subject knowledge to lead classes, workshops and one-to-one sessions with confidence.
Deep understanding of the tradition
A genuine understanding of yoga as a complete system — not just physical practice, but philosophy, breath and awareness.
A foundation for lifelong practice
Whether you teach professionally or not, the training gives you a foundation that supports your own practice for life.
- Why Santosh Yoga
What makes this training different
Rooted in authentic tradition
The training follows traditional methods untouched by unnecessary modernisation. You will learn yoga as it was designed to be practiced — as a complete lifestyle system, not just exercise.
Small group, personal attention
Training is held at a private studio in Salt Lake City. Small group sizes mean each student receives genuine attention and direct feedback throughout the program.
Practical teaching experience
The program includes real teaching practice, including working with special and underserved populations. You leave not just knowing yoga, but knowing how to share it effectively.
