Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training Intensive
 Our Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training - Level 1 Intensive is designed for students interested in deepening their practice and for aspiring or experienced teachers who are interested in learning about and teaching at Studio Serenity. Our intention is to support other students, teachers and practitioners creating a strong personal practice and following their own yogic path. The Yoga Teacher Training Level 1 program is taught in three modules conveniently scheduled during weekends for students who work during the week.
