Yoga Instructor Training
Yoga soothes the mind, calms the soul and strengthens the body. And it’s becoming increasingly popular in stressed out, health-conscious California. OCC Career Advantage provides yoga teacher training that can help you develop the knowledge, skill and experience needed to work as a yoga instructor at health clubs, spas and yoga/dance studios or as a freelance instructor. The 200-hour program meets the requirements set by Yoga Alliance, a professional membership and trade association, to become a registered yoga teacher (RYT).
