I didn't create this training to produce yoga instructors.
I created it because yoga transformed my life, and I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience that same transformation.
OVERVIEW
We don't treat yoga philosophy as a lecture between asana classes. Philosophy is woven into every weekend because yoga is meant to be lived, not simply practiced on a mat. This program leans into topics other courses barely touch. You;; graduate knowing how to:
Adopt Yogic ways of living for a healthy mind and body
Discover timeless teachings from the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita that continue to shape how you navigate stress, relationships, and everyday life.
Lean into mind management techniques such as concentration, meditation and mantra
Appreciate Yoga’s cultural history, roots, basic Sanskrit terms and how to understand cultural appropriation vs appreciation
Learn how to confidently adapt poses for different bodies, injuries, and abilities so every student feels safe.
Experience how energy works and moves through us
Transform yourself through the art and science of breathing
