Our training program is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of yoga. It includes 200 hours of instruction, covering techniques, training, practice, anatomy, physiology, yoga philosophy, teaching methodology, professional development, and practicum. Additionally, we offer 100 hours of continued education for further growth and mentorship.

Each day will be practice intensives, where you will either be in practice space taking class, in asana labs learning about the inner workings of postures, or practice teaching/taking.   It’s important to prepare your body for these 8 day intensives as they can be very physically challenging.  You can prepare yourself by coming with loads of healthy and nutritious food, getting adequate rest, committing to a consistent practice prior to training starting.

While we recommend having a consistent home or in studio practice, our program is designed to accommodate various levels of experience. We focus on developing both your personal practice and teaching skills.

Our program prepares you with the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to start teaching right away.  However, most teachers start with what is often referred to as ‘Community Classes’, which are discounted classes that encourage folks to attend a new teachers class.  This will give you the opportunity to build your skills in a class room environment.  Most teachers start here and within 10-15 classes move on to regular classes.
