Take the first step into a lifestyle that will completely change your life. This training will prepare you to become an embodied yogi. This is for those looking to integrate yoga into their daily life to improve their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. This is also for more advanced practitioners who are ready to take on yoga as a profession.
Whatever the reason you are called into this training is just perfect. Once you have completed this training program, you will receive a certificate that is recognized all over the world. What makes this particular training special is that you will not be left hanging and your teachers will still be there to support you even after the training has been completed. Although, we do encourage you to venture off and experience the world of amazing yogis and yoga teachers out there.
This training will allow you to develop your own personal practice and prepare you to create practices that will support others on their physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual paths. By the end of this training you will have the necessary tools, methods, and insights to support you on the path as an embodied yogi.

Let's Dive into the Objectives
~ Practice ~
You will be guided to dive into the practical aspect of yoga. You will learn and practice a wide range of yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), mantra (chanting), dhyana (meditation), and more traditional and modern practices. You will develop a strong foundation in your own yoga practice, focusing on alignment, flexibility, strength, and balance (for the mind, body, and heart). This is where you will be supported to build your own personal practice and refine your techniques, which you can later share as a certified yoga teacher!
~ Philosophy ~
Yoga philosophy is an essential part of this training and one your teachers are deeply fond of and specialize in. This is a huge dedication to their life paths and missions. This is how you will connect with the roots and traditions of yoga. We will explore ancient texts such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita. We will also dive into the lineage of Veda and the Vedic world view. This category covers the philosophical underpinnings of yoga, including concepts like the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the nature of the mind, and the path to self-realization. This provides a holistic understanding of yoga far beyond physical postures—the true yoga.
~ Yogic Lifestyle ~
A significant part of the training is devoted to adopting a sacred and authentic yogic lifestyle. You will learn about yogic principles, ethical guidelines, and how to incorporate yoga into your daily life (no matter what your lifestyle looks like). This includes lessons on mindfulness, meditation, embodiment, and the importance of self-care and a balanced way of living. The goal is to not only teach yoga but to live it and embody its principles. This is where you will be guided to really bring the tradition of yoga to life.
~ Teaching Methods ~
You will acquire everything you need to begin the journey of becoming an embodied yoga teacher, rooted in the tradition alongside modern understandings and integration. You will learn how to create transformational lesson plans, creatively sequence classes, develop unique workshops, and adapt your deliver for different levels and special requirements. We will also explore the art of listening, hands-on adjustments, and class management. Of course, you will practice teaching and receive constructive feedback to support you in advancing your teaching skills.
~ Anatomy & Physiology ~
Understanding the human body is crucial for delivering safe and effective practices. We will explore human anatomy and physiology, with a focus on how yoga postures and breath control impact the body. We will address both the Indian Scientific and Western Scientific understandings of the body. You will gain insights of injury prevention, alignment principles, and modifications for individual needs. This knowledge ensures that graduates can guide their students with a solid understanding of the body's mechanics.
