Teacher Training Program-Join us

The time is now. As Yoga speaks to you, eventually there comes                       that deep desire to give back and share it with others.

Maybe you have already been thinking about making a change in your life or career. Perhaps you have been so inspired and transformed by yoga that you want to learn more and help open the door for others.

The popularity of Yoga has exploded in the United States over the last ten years, creating a great demand for qualified yoga instructors that can not only teach yoga classes safely and effectively, but instructors that have an in-depth understanding of the ancient teachings of yoga and their relevance in the world today.

Our Yoga Teacher Training Program is a 200-hour certification program in Hatha Yoga that qualifies the candidate to become a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. The program is designed for those who plan to teach traditional Hatha Yoga, incorporate yoga into a health-related career, or for those seeking to deepen their personal practice and understanding of yoga.

Read some of our graduates' testimonials:

"When I began the teacher training, I had certain expectations of myself. Little did I realize that this process would lead me into the world of yoga in ways I never imagined possible. It has changed my life. I feel more confident in all aspects of my life and I attribute it to learning about the eight limbs of yoga and how to incorporate the practice of yoga into my professional and personal life."

"I took teacher training just to learn more about yoga, not necessarily to teach it. I had been coming to yoga class on a regular basis for awhile and so enjoyed it that I just signed up. I learned so many things about yoga and  myself that I never knew, and I discovered that I am indeed a teacher. I am  thrilled and honored to be able to share it now with everyone I know. My friends, family, co-workers, and even their friends are now asking me to teach them. It's the best thing I have ever done for myself. Thank you! "

"I would recommend this program to anyone who wishes to deepen their own practice and knowledge of yoga. The information and content given in this course were excellent. To me, the personal development was what stood out as I peeled the layers of myself back and realized and gained so much more insight of who I am. Always learning more about something I already knew down deep inside. The confidence, the knowledge, the constant feedback, not to mention the friends that I have made, has made this the best journey that I have embarked on."
