Please Read!

The cost: $3,900 USD.  Early registration.  The training teaches you how to teach Vinyasa, Yin and a bit of Hatha.  You will receive the best education possible with the focus on Vinyasa.  You can make it as advanced or gentle as you like, you are the teacher now.   Teach your style to your preferred client.  That's what we are all about!

Our Teacher Training School offers a certificate in the Vinyasa, Yin and Hatha disciplines of Yoga.  You really receive three trainings in one!  Sequencing is the fundamental principle of our training.  It's what you need to learn how to teach creative classes.  Though rooted in tradition we understand yoga for most of us is a physical practice.  This practice needs to be creative to keep your students returning to the mat.  We offer mudra, mantra, pranayama and many other ayurvedic trainings.  It's not all about the asana.  
Yoga is so much more than the pose.

We try to adhere to the schedule, sometimes we add and or subtract certain trainings.  This depends on the group, their needs and also the teachers we have with us at each particular training.  Sometimes we add a little Acro Yoga and sometimes more Ayurveda depending on the circumstances.    

We usually have multiple teachers (at times over 3)  so that you can see how different people take the same information, and use it to their unique style and utilize their own yogic abilities and personalities.   A truly unique YTT.   No one else has this many teachers to offer you.  No one!

Please be sure to purchase trip insurance, if for any reason you cannot attend or unforeseen circumstances cause a cancellation.   All payment due in full 30 days prior to course start date.  No refunds.  If mutually agreed upon, fees paid can be used towards the next YTT, this will be considered for serious medical emergency cancelations only.  Transfer of your reservation for the YTT to a family member or close friend is a possibility if given enough time and proper circumstances.  
​If registering within the 30 days a late fee will apply of $300 USD.
