There's Yoga, Then There's YogaZama

शम Zama (n) ~ balance, equanimity (Sanskrit)

YogaZama's 200-hour RYT program balances eastern tradition with western neuroscience to bring its students next-level yoga. 

Based on our psychotherapeutic yoga curriculum at The LISPY School, YogaZama steeps neurobiology and psychology into traditional yoga teacher training — with instruction in asana, pranayama, Ayurveda, mudras and more.

In addition to learning the necessary yoga foundations to be a successful instructor, YogaZama students will also explore:

  • Biomechanics of Movement and Physiology
  • Mantra Mindfulness and Meditation
  • Psychopathology and Yoga


In just 9 weeks you can walk away with a 200-hour RYT that goes deeper than standard yoga training. With YogaZama, you'll learn how to use yoga to transform both the brain and the body. And, in times like these, you know everyone can use some mind-body love.
