Our yoga teacher training supports students in deepening their understanding and relationship to the practice by studying the basic ingredients: breath, bandhas and dristi. Our program employs methods to make the practice accessible and appropriate, our approach is modern, therapeutic, challenging, supportive and steeped in tradition.
The program is Yoga Alliance Certified and is a practical training designed to make you a confident and effective Ashtanga Yoga Instructor. It is suitable for all levels of yoga students.
The purpose of this program is to provide a supportive environment that helps students begin to connect with their inner teacher, internal wisdom, and authentic voice. The program incorporates pranayama, asana practice, mind-body journaling, group conversation, reading and guided meditation. During the training students will practice the essential process of conscious listening to your own higher self.

The training is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation of knowledge and information, which you can use to confidently and effectively facilitate an Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga class for beginners.
The yoga teacher training includes the opportunity to learn five different routines based on the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, as interpreted by Larry Schultz. The five routines range in skill level from the basic beginner to the most advanced.
During the training you will also learn about marketing, pricing, teaching group or private classes, and setting up your own yoga school.
We support each student as they develop, deepen, appreciate and expand their understanding of their true authentic self. Through the basic study of philosophy, personal alignment, modifications of classical poses, pranayama practices, and individual instruction, our intimate trainings are sure to be a life enhancing experience. We look forward to working with you, as we have with the thousands that have come before you.
