Sep 28, 2024 - Sep 28, 2024


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 know and love. We have very specific teachers for anatomy, meditation, kids yoga, the energies of yoga and yoga philosophy

-This training will push you out of your comfort zone in a loving and compassionate way

-This will change you in a way you can't even begin to 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!
