YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Our Yoga Teacher Training is a highly-intensive program designed to educate & inspire the next generation of yoga teachers. We firmly believe that the strongest attribute any yoga teacher possesses is themselves. And so we emphasize things like personal development, confidence, and speech (and don’t worry, you’ll still learn kick-ass alignment, too). We’ve been serving guests from all over the world for the past 6 years who have constantly requested that we expand our yoga program. 2018/2019 is the first season where we will offer yoga teacher training and we’re committed to going over the top to make this experience memorable and enriching to you. Our goal is to produce confident, knowledgeable, articulate, and empowered yoga teachers.
