Welcome to Shanti Yoga

Yoga Teacher Training Online
Welcome to Shanti Yoga Teacher Training online, an interdisciplinary approach to practicing and teaching yoga. Shanti graduated her first class in 2008 and has maintained excellent ratings with Yoga Alliance since then. However, this program is actually the culmination of over four decades of research and experiential practice in the field of Mind-Body study by its creator, Debbi Murphy. Exploring the mind-body connection has been her life’s work. After years in academia researching and teaching subjects that elevated one or the other half of that equation (doctorate in exercise science, master’s degree in counseling psychology), she turned her attention to the study of yoga – a perfect nexus of both.
