WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO TEACH YOGA?

The primary interest is personal growth. You do not have to want to be a yoga teacher to participate, just have a passion to grow and a willingness to be challenged. You will dive deep into your body through invigorating asana practice and be challenged mentally with an in-depth look at the history of yoga, the philosophy of yoga, different types of asana practice and the anatomy of the human body as it applies to yoga. You will also have the opportunity to explore mindfulness meditation training that will allow you to tap into yourself on a more spiritual level. Through hard work and dedication and the support of community, you will awaken to an empowered teacher within.

While many of our graduates have gone on to teach yoga, others have applied our training to enhance their careers as therapists, personal trainers, business professionals, partners, and parents. We are committed to helping you make the most of our program so that you take your unique experience into your life and share your journey with others.
