About the Program
Our 200-hour yoga teacher training (YTT) is a comprehensive program that is rooted in both ancient tradition and modern perspective. It is designed for dedicated yoga students and aspiring yoga teachers who wish to deepen their practice of yoga and strictly adhere to the Yoga Alliance guidelines. Yoga teachers who seek to bring more depth to their practice and teaching through continued study are welcome.
Our program creates an opportunity for trainees to build a strong foundation in their practice and teaching through our practical and accessible approach. Our exploration together will involve cultivating healthy habits, emotional stability, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, an open mind, and an open heart. We will breathe, move, chant, stretch, challenge, accept, assimilate, invigorate, and learn to listen with our whole body. Upon successful completion of the program, you will be able to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher-200 (RYT 200) with the Yoga Alliance.
Teaching yoga is a relationship, and like any good relationship—the deeper it gets, the sweeter it gets. If you are looking to deepen your relationship with yourself, your yoga students, and your universe, this program is for you!
*Interested students should be familiar with our class formats, and style of yoga and have practiced with us prior to enrollment.
