YIY Teacher Training Program

In this 12-module curriculum, you will learn all the aspects of Yoga Teacher Training and the skills needed to become a teacher.

Upon completing this program, Trainees will understand the 8 Limbs of Yoga, how to develop an effective and safe class, understand what it means to be a Yoga Teacher, have exposure to Ayurveda and Chakras, and much more! 

Each class includes meditation and pranayama practices. The 6-hour day includes an opening Asana practice. This in time, will be the time-slot for Trainees to practice teaching. This curriculum allows for Trainees to get in front of the class very quickly, to start vocalizing and hearing their voice as a teacher. This will include rotating thru students, leading meditation, pranayama, and asana. 

Trainees start building a toolbox of meditations and sequences throughout the program. When they leave the program, they will feel comfortable leading a class through Asana, Meditation, and Pranayama. They will also practice hands-on adjustments and cueing throughout the program.

 BONUS: Trainees will receive discounted and complimentary  group classes and workshops during the duration of Yoga Teacher Training.
