200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Inner Worx 200hr Immersive Yoga Teacher Training
The IW 200hr Immersive Yoga Teacher Training is a classical, lineage-based training designed for those seeking an authentic and embodied understanding of yoga — beyond trends, fitness, or surface-level practice.
Rooted in the teachings of the Bihar School of Yoga and the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, this training draws from the traditional system of Raja Yoga as preserved and taught by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. These ancient teachings offer a complete framework for self-study, disciplined practice, and conscious living.
This program integrates the Three Sister Sciences:
- Yoga — the science of self-realization
- Ayurveda — the science of life and balance
- Jyotish — the science of the cosmos and timing
Together, these three pillars provide a holistic lens through which students learn to understand the body, mind, energy, and life cycles with clarity and depth. The program also covers core yogic practices and philosophies, including Yoga Nidra, the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the kleshas, and the chakra system, as lived and embodied tools for self-inquiry, regulation, and conscious awareness.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a traditional Japanese practice, which treats the mind, body and spirit through the gentle application of hands-on or distance healing. Founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, “Universal life force energy” travels through the attuned person to go where it is needed, promoting natural healing, stress reduction, and relaxation into each person’s life. Rei which means “God’s wisdom or Higher power” and Ki which means “Life force energy in Japanese. Reiki is known to release physical and emotional blockages, bring healing and relief to areas of illness or pain, and aid in a greater clarity and awareness.
FAQ:
Q: Do I have to do all the levels?
A: No, Reiki is about following a path to which you are drawn to. Honor yourself, first and foremost.
Q: Why do you split the sessions over multiple weeks instead of completing all at once?
A: Traditionally, Reiki is taught over years not weeks, as it takes time for the practitioner to go through their own energetic shifts and learning curves. We become better practitioners when we can practice on others, receive treatments, and experience and apply Reiki Healing in our everyday lives. By splitting the course over multiple weeks, we allow time for questions to formulate and shifts to begin to take place. We took the time to do the work so let’s experience the benefits fully – mindfully, energetically and soulfully!
Q: What happens when each level is finished, and you receive a certification?
A: You might feel different as you have experienced an attunement(s). By then you have worked through some of your own shifts and learned to connect to “life force energy”. Experience is the best teacher when it comes to learning how to center yourself and channel healing for yourself or others, so the more you can practice, the more you will learn. We can help you, if becoming a practitioner is the path you choose!
