Yoga Impact Institute, a non-profit organization that brings the benefits of yoga to marginalized populations, is offering yoga teacher training at Purple Om Yoga in Denville. The 200-Hour initial training is led by the studio owner, Jennifer Kalawur. The training runs from September 20 through February and will meet most Thursdays from 6 to 9 pm and Sundays from 10:30 am to 5:30 pm. The first 77-hour portion of the training is an Immersion. This is a great option for yogis who want to go deeper into the history, philosophy and science of yoga, but may not be ready or interested in becoming a certified teacher. The full training will include the material and practice needed to teach a flow, gentle and chair yoga class safely.

         The 300-Hour advanced training is led by the Yoga Impact director, Nancy Candea. This training begins October 13 and meets the second weekend of every month through June. This training is offered to certified yoga teachers with a minimum 100 hours of teaching experience. The advanced training goes deeper into the science, psychology and philosophy of yoga. Teachers will also be introduced to creating programs for specific populations including physical limitations, autoimmune diseases, anxiety and depression.

         Volunteering through the many Yoga Impact programs is available for continued growth and deep fulfillment.
