Yoga Instructor

Are you considering a career path a yoga teacher or looking to teach out of general interest?  Is time commitment a concern for you in the learning process?

We make your training a stress free, enjoyable journey.  Our program caters to your learning needs and development.  It is one on one private training.  You have the ability to set your schedule, hours and pace.

The program is based on a 200 hour standard teaching schedule that can be done anywhere from 3 – 6 months.  However, arrangements can be made to finish sooner if your time commitment allows or can be extended longer if you feel you need to take it slow.  Start time is whenever you are ready!

The curriculum requires reading, practice and teaching time.  The homework is pre set and is done on your own time.  Through intense one on one time we learn the dynamics of all root poses and cover the benefits, cautions, modifications, prenatal aspects, restorative aspects, advanced techniques, verbal cueing and hands on correcting.

There may be group practice time depending on the number of students currently in the program.  We accept 5 students into training at a time and on an ongoing basis.

By the end of the course you will be trained to speak, correct and teach your own program created by you.  You will have completed your own Yoga Teaching Manual.
