A Deeper Look At Our Time Together

One of the biggest joys is the friendships made with others during this experience.  And most cherished, is the relationship you build with yourself.

In my experience, Yoga Teacher Training changed the entire trajectory of my life!

During our time together, we will step onto the mat as a gateway to self-reflection and growth. Many trainees experience life-changing lessons and experiences that allow them to show up more fully as a student of life and a teacher of yoga. Our intention is to prepare you for sharing yoga in the way that serves your unique and wild heart. You’ll have many opportunities to apply what you’re learning in a practical way, through teaching and also through everyday life.

By the end, you will be able to teach a full class safely and confidently and show up for yourself and others with more grace and compassion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have to miss a day or weekend?

Yoga Alliance allows trainees to miss up to 1 weekend or 20 hours. Missed time must be pre-approved by your lead trainer and requests submitted in writing. Approved absences may consist of travel planned prior to the start of YTT, work commitments, illness, family emergencies. Missed time is made up by taking a private with a lead teacher. There is a fee associated with making up the missed time. The make-up cost for a missed half day (1-4 hours) is $150.  The make-up cost for a missed full day (4-8 hours) is $300.  The make-up cost for a missed weekend or 20 hours is $400.
      •A half day is defined as 1-4 hours. 
      •A full day is defined as 4-8 hours.

What if I don’t want to be a yoga teacher? Can I still do teacher training?

YES!  Whether you have a desire to teach or just want to deepen your yoga practice, YTT is transformational for all!  In fact, there's about a 50/50 split of folks who want to pursue teaching and those who don't.   Full participation during in-person weekends is required.

How long should I practice yoga before doing a teacher training?

There is not a time requirement, though it's recommended that you have a regular yoga practice so you have a baseline foundation to approach from. We encourage trainees to develop a habit of practicing 3 times a week for 3 months prior to training. “Hard” poses or mastery of yoga poses is not required. This is a space to learn, get curious, and grow!

Are payment plans available?

Yes! You can extend payments for up to 12 months with Shop Pay. Scroll up to “Payment Plans” and click the button.

What kind of assignments will we have outside of YTT weekends?
Homework is a part of YTT and included in the total 200 hours of training. Assignments are a mix of readings, taking classes , writing journal entries, creating sequences.

How have other trainees managed their time to complete YTT?

We often feel that we don't have enough, it's not the right time, etc.  My advice is that if teacher training is pulling at your heart strings, DO IT!  Rarely in life will there ever be a clean slate of time for 10 weeks, 20 weeks, 1 year... Life is always happening.  We make time for what’s important to us. So we can look at time from two lenses- it's either never the right time or always the right time.  This training was designed to give you extra time and space to absorb and to manage the other happenings in your life. With just about every other weekend off, it’s easier than ever to schedule your time on and off the mat!
