All instructors we bring in to Bikram’s Yoga College of India, San Diego have been certified after graduating from by Bikram Choudhury’s intensive Teacher Training Programs. All are required to Re-Certify every 3 years, and to maintain the integrity of Bikram’s Hatha Yoga system, the teaching methods, and the Dialogue. These teachers are encouraged to continue their study, practice, and development by returning to the Source, attending Bikram’s Authorized Seminars, classes, re-visiting the Teacher Trainings, and most importantly — maintaining their own Yoga practice.
