INDEPENDENT STUDY Customized 200-hour TEACHER TRAINING with Raji

It follows the same curriculum and syllabus as a regular training, but it is customized to you. Contact Raji for more details: Raji@yogasynthesis.com or 973-960-3107.
“Raji Thron gives the most inclusive education of Yoga available. His course covers the broad essence of true Yoga studies. Along with the properly sequenced asana, teachings include the ancient Vedas, Sutras & founding scripts of Yoga… giving the student a firm foundation in the true meaning & benefit of perpetuating the Yoga traditions to the current generation. I was certified with Raji in 2000 & have taught since 1999. Raji’s Yoga Synthesis is so much more inclusive than the average quick Yoga certification often seen today.” Arlene P.
