Comprehensive Curriculum
Our yoga teacher training is designed for those who wish to teach as well as those looking to enrich their personal practice. Our curriculum covers a wide array of essential topics, including:
Philosophy of Yoga: Dive into ancient texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali to understand the roots of yoga.
Chakras: Discuss and learn the seven main chakras, and how to identify and balance each to improve overall well-being. Each chakra will be linked to the physical body, the asana, and class sequencing.
Anatomy and Physiology: Explore both the physical and energetic body in depth, equipping yourself with the knowledge to teach safely and effectively.
Asanas (Yoga Postures): Experience detailed breakdowns of various poses—including standing, seated, twists, arm balances, inversions, and backbends—helping you master the fundamentals of asana practice.
Meditation and Breathwork: Learn techniques to enhance your meditation practice and understand the power of breath in yoga.
Mudras and Mantra: Discover the significance of hand gestures and sound in deepening your practice and teaching.
Aerial Yoga: fly into the art of aerial yoga. The aerial silk hammock is our favorite yoga prop. Aerial yoga teacher training can be wrapped into your YTT experience.
Practical Teaching Experience
Throughout the program, you will learn to teach and sequence different yoga classes, with a particular focus on sun salutations and moon salutations. As a final exercise, participants will have the opportunity to lead a full class, allowing them to gain confidence and experience as instructors. At the completion of the program, you will graduate with a teaching certificate and an instructor and peer critiqued class to get you started. You will walk in as you are and walk out as teacher. Our program is Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher Training program.
We encourage our students to attend as many yoga classes as they can to begin linking the training to teaching. To facilitate, all our classes are free to yoga teacher trainees.
We are often asked if yogis need to perfect at asana or in great shape prior to enrolling. We are delighted to have you regardless of your level of practice. Remember, the yoga poses are just one part of yoga. We are here to teach you.
Our instructors are educated and experienced teachers who teacher with kindness and responsibility. You will be treated kindly, respectfully and will feel supported throughout your journey.
The cost for 6 months of yoga teacher training is $3000. We begin with a $400 deposit. You may pay your training fee at the beginning of the program, or we can bill you monthly with a convenient payment plan.
