250HR Required Reading:

These are texts that will be referenced often during the course of the yoga teacher training or serve as great reading for summary or review.  There may be reading assigned from these texts during the training.  Please bring them with you in hard copy or digital format.

250hr Suggested Reading:

These are not required.  Many students ask for recommendations on what to read when starting down their yoga teacher path.  The suggested reading acts as a supplement for any student who would like to dive a bit deeper either before or after the training.  We will not work directly with these during the training, however they may be referenced or suggested.  These are for your personal use as you begin to grow your personal yoga library!
