quality over quantity
Going through your initial 200 hour yoga teacher training is a deeply transformative experience. You will be looking at yourself through entirely new lenses while pushing yourself mentally, emotionally and physically. For that reason it is vital to me that this training has fewer trainees. The smaller the group the more 121 attention and care you'll receive. This training will therefore only have a max of ten trainees so that I can ensure you are getting the tlc you need on this epic journey.
course overview
module 1
practice of teaching yoga
This course has a strong foundation in the practice of asana and teaching methods in order to ensure that all graduates have the confidence to safely design and lead their own yoga classes.
module 2
philosophy of yoga
The second largest focus of this training is the philosophy of yoga which will be integrated into all of the training sessions so that the graduates leave with a firm understanding of yoga as more than simply poses but a tool for them and their students in all aspects of life.
module 3
alignment & anatomy of yoga
An integral part of safely and effectively leading students in their physical yoga practice. This course will provide you with an understanding of the body and how to guide students in terms of the “feeling” of a pose, not simply the “shape.”
module 4
how to teach online
Building on the foundation of the practice of teaching we’ll dive into all the ways that teaching online differs from teaching in person. All graduates will have the confidence and knowledge to offer classes both online and in person.
module 5
the business of yoga
All too often the actual business of yoga is rushed through and newly certified teachers find themselves totally unprepared to make teaching their fulltime work. This course is committed to setting you up for success to create a thriving teaching career.

Gaining 200 hours of yogic wisdom is no small feat! To ensure you gain the knowledge and experience necessary to teach it is required that you have no fewer than 180 hours of live training with me. Each training day will be packed full of discussions, practicing, and as much joy as possible.
Any 200 hour yoga teacher training - even spread out over months - is absolutely an intensive experience! It's not simply about cueing someone into a downward facing dog - instead it is much more a matter of learning about yourself.
Each training day will always allow some space to check in with each other and get a sense of how we are feeling before we begin. We'll have a full hour for lunch, and on the longest days we'll get additional snack breaks too. Borrowed from my own incredible teacher, we will also enjoy a quick "After Lunch Dance Party" to keep our energy and spirits high. Our days will wind down with another check in, sometimes a gentle meditation or a savasana so we have a moment to absorb and process all that we've learned.
