the overview

the essence

our 200 hour yoga teacher training is a two week in-person immersion rooted in presence, clarity, and the art of teaching.

rather than training you in a specific style (or multiple), we focus on what matters most:

how to teach confidently, safely and authentically — with deep, practical knowledge & substance beneath every cue.

this is a foundational training. a place to learn how to teach, not how to pass as a teacher — because confidence comes from competence.
