Focus of the 200 Hour Teacher Training Program
Our program is inspired by the teaching of T. Krishnamacharya. His focus on an individualized approach to yoga for each student is at the heart of this training. We value the individual in you and through our program, you learn how to discover your own style of teaching and practicing yoga. You will learn how to effectively teach to a wide variety of individuals through, how to connect with your students, and how to help your students and yourself gain a deeper sense of internal awareness and ease through the practice of yoga. You will gain confidence in your teaching and practice, and find your own unique voice as a yoga teacher. Rather than mold you into our style, we offer you the best practices from a variety of hatha yoga traditions and help you find your own unique style and path in your yoga journey. We believe that you are more powerful than you could ever imagine, and we're here to help you discover your own amazing power. During the training and long after it's over, we will be there for you, helping you to bring your yoga gifts to the world and to realize your dreams.

Before you join us for the yoga teacher training intensive, you will need to register and begin our online program.

The online program covers many important foundational aspects of teaching yoga, and allows us to make the best use of your time during the intensive. It also fulfills your non-contact hours and provides an introduction to many of the topics we will cover during the in-person training.
