Yoga Teacher Training 200
Hour
Fall 2024 9 Month Hybrid
Immersion Beginning September 28
The Yoga for All Bodies teacher training program stands apart from
the rest, offering a truly immersive and transformative experience.
Unlike conventional training programs, this isn't about rushing
through the process. Instead, we believe in a holistic approach
that allows for gradual growth and development. By spreading the
training over time, we ensure that our teachers emerge well-rounded
and fully prepared to step into their first class upon
graduation.We provide all the necessary tools and resources to
equip you for teaching, but our commitment goes beyond mere
training. Our focus is on nurturing your journey, providing a
supportive environment where you'll be challenged and encouraged to
push beyond your comfort zone. Through coaching and feedback,
you'll engage in activities that may initially feel unfamiliar, yet
ultimately prove immensely rewarding.
Our aspirations extend beyond mere training; we're dedicated to
fostering personal growth and transformational experiences. As you
progress through the program, you'll witness a profound shift in
your relationship with yourself, leading to a newfound way of
interacting with the world. By delving into ancient teachings and
applying them to your life, you'll gain a deeper understanding of
your body, explore matters of the heart, and forge connections with
others in a meaningful and authentic manner.
Here is what to expect along the path:
-We provide an inclusive yoga training that
includes all bodies learning to teach to
all bodies, you will learn Chair Yoga, Flow Yoga, Kids
Yoga and everything in between but you will not find head stands or
arm balances in our program. We touch on topics like restorative
yoga, yin and meditation so that you have a well rounded practice
to take out into the world when you are finished.
-This program is all ages 16-116
-We are teaching focused, meaning we want everyone to feel
confident to teach their first class before they
graduate
-We have a strong team of teachers that teach what they

philosophy

loving and compassionate way

imagine, the personal growth woven into this program is
like no other
-There is homework, not a lot, but we expect you to practice yoga
during the training and outside the training hours. You do NOT have
to have a personal practice to start this training, but you should
be excited by having a strong personal practice at
the end of training
- We teach from many perspectives. We operate as a collective
teaching unit, unique gifts and talents will be brought forward to
you! All of the teachers will live in different bodies, come from
different backgrounds and have taken different training. This
brings about a unique experience of well rounded education.
-Functional Anatomy training. The anatomy training will not be
endless lecture. It will be learning about a part of the body and
then moving that part of the body. This will allow you to
experience the anatomy of your own body and understand how the body
actually works. Rather then just reading about it in a text book.
Don’t worry, those of you who love text... There is still that
too!
