Yoga CEP

The Yoga Continuing Education Program (CEP) at Pratimoksha is designed for certified yoga teachers who wish to deepen, refine, and expand their knowledge beyond foundational training. Rooted in classical yogic wisdom and aligned with Yoga Alliance standards, the CEP offerings support teachers in their ongoing journey of learning, reflection, and professional growth.

Conducted in Dubai, these programs are ideal for teachers who have completed RYT 200 or RYT 500 training and are seeking focused areas of study to enhance their teaching, personal practice, and understanding of yoga as a holistic discipline.

Pratimoksha’s Yoga CEP courses are short-term, intensive modules that allow teachers to explore specific aspects of yoga in depth. Each program is carefully structured to combine theory, practice, and reflective learning, ensuring relevance to both personal sadhana and teaching application.

The duration of each CEP module is typically 50 hours, allowing teachers to engage deeply without long-term disruption to their teaching schedules.

Yoga CEP programs are suitable for:

• Certified yoga teachers (RYT 200 / RYT 500)
• Teachers seeking Yoga Alliance Continuing Education hours
• Practitioners interested in specialized or traditional yogic studies
• Teachers looking to refine their understanding of specific yogic systems
• Dubai-based yoga professionals committed to lifelong learning

These programs are not intended for beginners or those without prior yoga teacher training.

Pratimoksha is accredited by the US-based Yoga Alliance International. Continuing Education hours completed through our CEP programs may be recognized under our official Yoga Alliance International school profile, subject to their continuing education guidelines.

CEP programs are conducted in a focused and respectful learning environment at Pratimoksha’s studio in Dubai. The setting supports concentration, discussion, and meaningful exchange among teachers committed to growth and integrity in their practice.

The CEP modules draw on the wisdom and academic grounding of Lalitha Viswanath, whose emphasis on lifelong learning has shaped Pratimoksha’s approach to continued education. Teachers are encouraged to refine their practice and pedagogy through deep reflection and disciplined study.
