For teachers who have ever finished a training and thought, "There's so much more I want to understand," this session offers a glimpse into just how deep the study of yoga can go.

Christopher will also introduce the emerging field of Yoga Studies and opportunities to pursue graduate-level study through fully online Master's and PhD programs in Religion with a concentration in Yoga Studies offered by Claremont School of Theology in partnership with Arihanta Institute.

Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of modern yoga practice?

Beyond posture and contemporary wellness culture sits a rich, complex history filled with surprising turns, political intersections, and evolving philosophical traditions.

Join Christopher Jain Miller, PhD, for an exploration of why the academic study of yoga is more relevant to today's teachers and practitioners than ever. Christopher will take us beyond what typically makes it into yoga teacher training to explore les

We'll also explore how yoga has intersected with political, cultural, and social movements throughout history and what it means to move beyond being a practitioner to becoming a practitioner-scholar: someone who brings rigorous study, historical context, and deeper inquiry into their relationship with yoga.
