Yoga Teacher Training

Learn to teach yoga
from the root up.

EightLimbs is a Level 1 teacher training built entirely around Patanjali's eight limbs. Not 200 hours of video. A structured path with quizzes, a training manual, and a final exam that proves you're ready.

8 Limbs, 8 Modules
Level 1 Familiarity, Not Mastery
Quiz-Driven Active Recall Learning

"Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind."

Most teacher trainings rush past philosophy to get to poses. EightLimbs starts where yoga starts: with the mind, with the ethics, with the foundations that make everything else meaningful.

The complete path.

Each limb is its own module. Each module ends with a quiz. You move forward when you're ready.

Limb 01
Yama
Ethical Standards
How we relate to the world around us. Non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, moderation, non-possessiveness.
Limb 02
Niyama
Self-Discipline
How we relate to ourselves. Cleanliness, contentment, discipline, self-study, surrender.
Limb 03
Asana
Physical Postures
The poses most people think of as "yoga." Here, you learn why they're only one-eighth of the practice.
Limb 04
Pranayama
Breath Control
The bridge between body and mind. Techniques for controlling life force through conscious breathing.
Limb 05
Pratyahara
Sensory Withdrawal
Turning attention inward. Learning to observe without reacting to external stimuli.
Limb 06
Dharana
Concentration
Single-pointed focus. The practice of directing attention to one object, sound, or idea.
Limb 07
Dhyana
Meditation
Unbroken flow of awareness. Where concentration deepens into sustained, effortless attention.
Limb 08
Samadhi
Pure Contemplation
Union. The state where the practitioner, the practice, and the subject of practice merge into one.

How it works.

Designed for active learning, not passive watching. You'll actually remember what you studied.

01

Read the training manual

Each limb has a comprehensive chapter covering philosophy, history, practical applications, and teaching methodology. Written to be understood, not memorized.

02

Take the practice quiz

After each section, a quiz checks your understanding. Not gotcha questions. Thoughtful prompts that reinforce the concepts that matter most for teaching.

03

Move at your pace

No cohort schedules. No live sessions you have to rearrange your life for. Study when it works for you. Review as many times as you need.

04

Pass the final exam

A comprehensive exam that covers all eight limbs. Not designed to trick you. Designed to confirm you're ready to teach with confidence and depth.

Teach yoga the way it was meant to be learned.

The world has enough yoga teachers who can sequence a vinyasa flow but can't explain Pratyahara. EightLimbs produces teachers who understand the full tradition, from the first yama to the final stillness of samadhi.
