Frequently Asked Questions

What style of yoga is taught?

YogYam teaches classical Hatha yoga and the original Ashtanga yoga of Sage Patanjali (8 Limbs). These timeless practices are over 5,000 years old and still going strong. Such is the beauty of yoga!

Do I need to have yoga experience?

While one should have at least attended some yoga classes in the past, there is no prerequisite for yoga teacher training. The knowledge and skills you will receive will give you a solid foundation on which to start or continue along your yoga path.

What if I don't want to become a teacher?

The training is a most rewarding personal development experience, and many sign up for this reason alone. If you wish to pursue teaching, you have the added benefit of receiving the skills needed to conduct a yoga practice for others.
