Can I write off yoga teacher training program if I did it to help with my main job?

I'm a massage therapist and wanted to increase my knowledge of the body so I did this training. Can I write it off, and if so, where?

If you are self-employed and took the course to increase your knowledge in your profession, then you can deduct the cost of the course.
