Our 200+hr Online Yoga Teacher Training moves beyond the traditional standards of Yoga Teacher Trainings and into the mystical realms of Yoga as a Life Practice.
This course is an opportunity for students to become familiar with and enrich their perspective through the lens of Yoga. We do not promote our School as a belief system or as a substitute for religion, but rather encourage every student to weave what they learn in our programs into their world views, spiritual practices, religious systems, and lives.
Through integrating these teachings into your life, you will recognize your individual purpose and passion, and step boldly into your truth and power.
Step boldly into your power and purpose.
The intention of this program is to offer you the tools, techniques, opportunity, and community that allow you to find your unique approach to practice, and, if you choose, to share it with the world. We provide tools and training for those who desire to teach and to support those who are seeking to ask questions, deepen their practice, and share it with others. In this training, we experience the study of Yoga with a community of seekers creating profound and lasting change in themselves and our world.
Here’s what you’ll find inside the 200-hour yoga training course:
Video Lectures

Our mentor program increases opportunities for students in training to connect with Yoga teachers and students within the broader Yoga community and to receive guidance and feedback as they begin to enter the world of deeper personal practice and teaching Yoga. As part of their program homework, students will observe & attend classes with their mentor.
