Now the Teachings of Yoga Begin
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali I.1
The deepest form of wisdom unfolds through conscious experience. This training invites you to uncover the wisdom already residing within, find your authentic voice to share it with the world, and skillfully navigate the rasa līlā—the vibrant dance of life. Yoga Teacher Training is not merely about instructing physical postures; it is a profound journey of self-observation, learning from your own experience, and embodying the teachings to inspire others.
Together, we will explore how to create yoga classes that are both safe and nurturing, yet energized and transformative, guiding your students toward their own awakening. This training awakens a deep recognition of the transformative power inherent in yogic practices.
While our primary focus is on cultivating your teaching abilities, we also delve into the heart of Yogic philosophy. You will learn how to nourish a strong personal practice, share dharma, chanting, and meditation, enhance your sequencing and assisting skills, and deepen your connection to Yoga’s original purpose. The 200-hour training provides a foundation for teaching, an introduction to timeless Yogic wisdom, and a living framework for embodying the Yogic lifestyle.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
REQUIREMENTS
Participants must be at least 16 years of age.
Complete application for admission along with phone, or in person interview. Application to the program does not guarantee acceptance (interviews are to evaluate character, intention, motivation and ability to manage workload and financial requirements).
ATTENDANCE
100% attendance is strongly encouraged. I understand that life happens and emergencies can sadly happen as well, therefore participants are able to miss up to 12 hours during the course of the training with fair justification.
Trainees will need to make up any assignments that they miss in order to graduate. Missed hours must be made up before graduation weekend, if this is delayed, award of certification will be delayed as well. If I must spend extra time outside of the regularly scheduled training for make up sessions- the fee is $35 per hour due at the time of the make-up.
If it is necessary to take a leave of absence for financial or medical reasons, it will be your responsibility to inform me with proper notice and documentation. Arrangements will be made to reschedule training to the next training session or work out a refund plan if needed.
