As a result of our years of experience as yoga students, practitioners, teachers and trainers of yoga teachers, we know what works and what doesn’t. We understand the frequent challenges faced when trying to establish a personal yoga practice. We are familiar with the patterns that we have observed in thousands of students and numerous teachers over the years. Moreover, as committed yoga practitioners and teachers, we have dedicated our lives to a lifelong journey of deepening our knowledge and refining our practice and our teaching for the benefit of our students and our community.
Develop Your Observation Skills and Learn to Teach Logically
Because we know that you develop your teaching skills over time through meaningful feedback, our program offers you numerous opportunities to develop your teacher’s eye so that you learn to see clearly what students need. Moreover, you also have plenty of opportunities to teach in our practicum sessions, where you will learn to hone your skills based on meaningful feedback received from students, peers and teachers.
Integrating What You Learn
A competent teacher is a dedicated student who keeps learning by integrating what she studies and practices into her craft. Between training sessions, you have time to explore, digest, implement and reflect on what you are learning. Our program integrates current Western science with the yoga tradition so that can be confident in teaching yoga that is appropriate to your students. The concepts from the applied anatomy sections are cross-referenced in our training sessions so that you can apply what you are learning to make your practice principled, logical, safe and effective. As a result, you will be able to use your direct experience to teach a wide range of students avoiding injuries and inaccuracies.
We Care
We know that the yogic path is a lifelong journey of self-discovery and we want to support you along in your learning and growing. We are here for you the whole way through. We create an environment of collegiality, respect and curiosity, to inspire you to learn, share and grow. Because we respect and honor the process of powerful transformation resulting from meaningful yoga practice, and in order to maximize your opportunities to learn, to be seen and to be heard, our program is limited to a maximum of 10 participants.
Our Programs Exceed Yoga Alliance Requirements
Our teacher training programs are approved by the Yoga Alliance.
- We understand that you want to gain true knowledge through direct experience, but also that you want to receive recognition for all your heartfelt effort and that you want to have credentials accepted and recognized nationally and internationally. More than just meeting the minimum Yoga Alliance requirements, our Yoga Integrity Teacher Training programs exceed Yoga Alliance requirements:
- In our 200-hour program you will complete 240+ contact hours
- In our 300-hour program you will complete 300+ contact hours
How Does It Work?
Our teacher training sessions meet once every 2 to 3 weeks for a weekend. These weekends include:
- Fridays from 6pm to 9pm
- Saturdays from 1pm to 7pm
- Sundays from 1pm to 7pm
The seeds of learning are planted during our sessions together. In order for those seeds to sprout, take root and grow they need your attention through home study and daily practice. As it is explained in the yoga philosophy, yoga works gradually through dedication and detachment according to our level of commitment. We suggest around 1 hour of daily practice combined with 3 to 5 hours of exploration and reflection on the materials covered during our sessions together.
You may apply to our programs regardless of your current level of fitness, strength or flexibility. How many postures you know or have mastered is also not an important criterion for application.
Like every yoga teacher for thousands of years, we are interested in your commitment to grow as a yogi and as a human being. Thus, we invite students who are sincerely interested in growing as yogis, as teachers and as human beings. We are committed to offering you the best quality training experience and materials possible and we encourage you to commit to your own personal development.
As you very well know, the quality of the results is directly proportional to the quality of your work. For all our programs the main requirement is that you make a commitment to dedicating this time to yourself to grow and learn at a pace that is appropriate for you.
Affordable Journey to Transformation
We feel passionately about keeping yoga accessible while maintaining great quality and value. We take pride in our work and can assure you that it is highly unlikely that you can find a program with the depth and breadth of our program. Furthermore, even if you could, the cost would not be as competitive as ours. We know because the focus of our program is not profit but our commitment to expanding the reach of authentic yoga.
