Our 300 hour module-based training is the perfect opportunity for teachers and dedicated practitioners to expand upon their yoga journey. Dive deeper into alignment, the art of sequencing and assisting, the wisdom of Ayurveda, yogic texts, integrated anatomy, and leadership. Find your voice, connect with your higher purpose, and become an empowered, informed, and confident yoga teacher.

 

In our modular-based system, there are foundation modules offered annually that are required for certification. You are able to choose your path of study for all additional hours based on what inspires you most. This allows teachers to customize their studies and learn at their own pace and availability. The program can be completed in one year and must be completed in two years maximum. Modules are open to anyone, you do not need to be a yoga teacher or enrolled in the program. If you are a new teacher wanting to learn more about a specific subject or you are a home practitioner looking to progress your practice, we encourage you to join us!

Our training is facilitated by highly experienced teachers who are E-RYT 500 or have doctorate degrees in their field. We believe in living Yoga off the mat, honoring Yoga’s roots, building community, and being lifelong students.​ Jaimis Huff is the Lead Teacher and Director of Training and she is joined by guest teachers Amani Murray, Shanna Small, Dr. Laura Watterson, Kiesha Battles, and Marcy Braverman Goldstein, Ph.D.
