The Pulsation Yoga Teacher Training and Yoga Studies programs begin on October 14, 2023 and run through April 14, 2024. For this upcoming training, we are spacing out weekends so that trainees have more time to read, absorb and practice between meetings. There are both required readings as well as recommended resources for the 2023-24 yoga training program. Below is a list of books to purchase prior to training. We welcome you to begin reading them if you would like to get a jump start. You can contact us for the weekly reading assignments.
