Purpose

Begin your teaching journey with a solid foundation in mindful, inclusive yoga instruction. This is an amazing transformational journey where you’ll learn how to teach Yoga, not just how to “do” Yoga.

What to expect

Learn how to share Yoga safely with folks of all ages and abilities. Graduates consistently comment on the professional, friendly, experienced, and caring approach of our faculty. You’ll become part of a community, creating new authentic friendships, deepening your spiritual knowledge, and sharing your knowledge and passion with others. You’ll explore the Yogic lifestyle of mind-body health and learn to cultivate inner peace and self acceptance. We’ll meet you where you’re at and offer you the opportunity to tap into the power within yourself. Yoga is so much more than just physical practice. You’ll gain an understanding of movement and breath and about life-changing breathing and mindfulness techniques, and a calmer way to manage every aspect of your life.

Style/Lineage

The style of Yoga we teach is “Mindful Eclectic Hatha Yoga” We draw on a broad and diverse range of Yoga poses, breathing & meditation techniques, and learn to create and adapt a safe and balanced practice to share with others.
