Chi-Town Shakti
The Shambhava School of Yoga (RYS 500) has developed this 200 Hour Teacher Training Curriculum over our 36+ year history and our 16+ years of training professional Yoga teachers throughout the world. We are constantly reevaluating and updating our manual adapting to the modern world of teaching Yoga. Once you certify with us you will always have access to new information being integrated into our curriculum. It is our deepest hope to continue to set the bar for training materials that assist trainees and graduates as they continue to grow. Our manuals are generated by lead instructors running training programs from all over as a collaborative effort. Chi-Town Shakti is pleased to be a voice in this amazing collaboration.
