Our 200-500 hour Yoga Teacher Training programs exceed Yoga Alliance standards, blending classical teachings with modern methodology. Students study anatomy, philosophy, and practical instruction under experienced mentors. The curriculum includes hands-on practice, mentorship, and specialized modules in Yin, Vinyasa Krama, and trauma-informed teaching. Graduates gain confidence to teach professionally or deepen personal practice.
Yin Yoga Classes
Yin Yoga focuses on deep connective tissue release through sustained postures and mindful breathing. Classes emphasize stillness, self-compassion, and energetic awareness, guided by instructors trained in Paul Grilley and Bernie Clark's methodologies. Suitable for all levels, sessions integrate chakra meditation and pranayama to enhance physical and emotional well-being.
Chair Yoga
Chair Yoga adapts traditional postures for seniors, post-rehabilitation clients, or those with limited mobility. Using chairs for support, classes improve strength, balance, and flexibility while prioritizing safety. Instructors are trained to modify practices for diverse needs, including corporate settings and online platforms.
Myofascial Release
This specialized training explores fascial anatomy and self-release techniques to improve mobility and reduce chronic pain. Students learn to integrate MFR into yoga sequences using foam rollers and balls, guided by evidence-based practices from leading researchers in connective tissue science.
