Our Philosophy ૐ
Through physical, mindful and educational learning, Ohra gives you the awareness to empower yourself while improving the lives of others.
The supportive environment of Ohra Yoga’s teacher training allows each student the space for personal growth and freedom to explore their own path within a group and the group’s 200 hour structure.
Teacher training is an incredible experience whether you decide to teach or not. During training you will deepen your practice while embodying the flow of poses, of breath and of mindful living. The training puts all the pieces of yoga together in one place.
