Welcome!
The
San Francisco Integral Yoga Institute, founded by Sri Swami Satchidananda
offers public Yoga instruction, Yoga teacher training, and a residency program.
Since opening in 1970, the Institute has been serving the Bay Area from its
location in San Francisco's Mission District at 770 Dolores Street.
Integral Yoga
Known for its clarity,
directness, and spiritual focus, Integral Yoga offers a traditional and balanced
approach to the ancient teachings of Yoga. The Institute offers daily drop-in
Hatha Yoga classes (with asana, pranayama and meditation) ranging from gentle
to advanced, and longer free group meditations. We also offer Courses, Workshops
and Special Events focusing on many specific aspects of Yoga - including stress-reduction,
philosophy, health, and spiritual growth.
Service
The Integral Yoga Institute exists because of giving. The service of our teachers
– who donate their time and energy – help to create a special atmosphere
of love and dedication.
Teacher Training Program
Our Teacher Training program has been training teachers and changing lives
for over twenty-five years. In fact, Integral Yoga was a founding member of
the Yoga Alliance (the national organization of Yoga teachers), and our Hatha
1 Teacher Training program easily fulfills the requirements for certification
at the Yoga Alliance 200-hour level.
This program and the accompanying Integral Yoga Teacher's Manual have been
used successfully by thousands of teachers around the world. In San Francisco,
we are lucky to have a gifted and experienced staff that has taught this training
for years.
We also offer advanced training for yoga teachers to deepen their understanding
of Yoga and their teaching skills. The hours from these advanced trainings
can be used toward registration with Yoga Alliance as an advanced teacher
at the 500-hour level. In fact, the San Francisco Integral Yoga Institute
now has approval from Yoga Alliance to certify teachers at this advanced level.
We look forward to serving you. Om
Shanthi.
