Information on Teacher training programs in Indiana. If you have a teacher training program you'd like posted here, email wendywellness@sbcglobal.net with the details. NOTE: The intention of this page is to give a brief introduction to your teacher training program. Please keep your submission short and make sure to provide a method (web site, phone number) where people can find out more.
 
NOTE: The Indiana Yoga Association provides this listing as a service to member and non-member teachers alike. A listing here does not imply an endorsement by the Association. Potential students will want to ask teachers about their training, length of time teaching, style of yoga., and anything else that seems relevant. We suggest, since the student-teacher fit is an important aspect of yoga study, that students take one or two classes before making a lengthy or expensive commitment.
