200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings
Our foundational yoga teacher training programs ask each trainee to consider the Seat of the Teacher from a social justice perspective as well as offers tools to teach yoga in a trauma-sensitive manner.
Our teacher training curriculum follows the new Competencies-Based Model from Yoga Alliance. This curriculum includes thirteen competences; asana, pranayama & subtle body, meditation, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, history, philosophy, ethics, teaching methodology, professional development, practicum, and electives.
We teach alignment-based asanas and highlight the importance of the breath.
Free monthly 1:1 coaching is available for all trainees in good standing.
There are 4 start dates each year to allow for more accessibility.
