"Find your passion and teach from a
place of radical authenticity"
So many individuals take well designed yoga teacher trainings, which oftentimes are packed full of information. The aim is to inspire and give trainees a taste of so many aspects of teaching yoga. However, when trainings are only 200 hours, this can translate into not enough practice teaching time, and truly the best practice teaching is done after the training is complete with the ongoing guidance of a mentor.
This 100-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program is a specialized offering crafted by Darci Nyal, a seasoned former studio owner with a wealth of experience in training and mentoring junior yoga teachers. With a focus on cultivating authenticity in teaching, this course is designed to empower recently graduated yoga instructors. It delves into public speaking, class preparation, teaching feedback, and growing into their original voices.
