Teacher Trainings
200-Hour Yoga Teacher TRaining
Welcome! Whether you’re looking to begin teaching yoga, to add mind-body tools into your existing profession or are here for your own personal growth, you are in the right place! The experience, education, growth and healing of your journey will transform lives, starting with your own.
You will learn an approach to teaching yoga that will support your teaching regardless of the type of class you teach. You will learn the essence of each pose inside and out - the energy of the movements, the fundamental anatomy and alignment, ways to adapt poses for all bodies.
Teacher Training Sections:
The training is offered in two sections. The first section focuses on deepening your practice, learning anatomy and biomechanics, studying yoga philosophy and also learning some Sanskrit.
The second section will focus on the actual teaching of yoga and all the essential things around/related to the teaching of this amazing practice of yoga.
The full training is offered via pre-recorded video modules so you can proceed at your own pace! You will have access to all the videos for a full year (if you don’t get through it all, let us know :). The price includes weekly live check-ins with either Christine or Ann, plus access to their in studio classes either in person or via zoom for a full year. Once you have completed all the videos, you will take a test! And we’ll wrap up your training with some class observations and analysis, plus some practice teaching.

Intensive 1
-
You will learn an approach to teaching yoga rather than trying to conform everyone to teaching the exact same style. You will learn the essence of the poses: what each pose feels like, the energy of the movements, the fundamental anatomy and alignment, ways to adapt poses to make them do-able for any population, and also why we do them at all! You will learn to read bodies and tailor your instructions to what you see in front of you, instead of trying to get everyone to fit inot one “perfect” shape. We will redefine perfect together! We will also talk about yoga philosophy, practice breath work and chanting - yoga is so much more than just asana (pose)!
-
coming soon in 2024!
Intensive 2
-
We will take a deep dive into seated poses! We will examine common threads and then explore the vast world of seated poses. You will learn the “full expression” of each pose as well as lots of ways to modify and, most importantly, how to spot someone needing a modification. We will weave bandhas into the practice as well as our deepening philosophy discussions. See you there!

This weekend intensive will focus on twisting (parivritta) poses. There are so many twists in so many different ways! We would not be able to do them all, of course, but by the end of this weekend you will have a deep understanding of twisting - the energy, the breath, the anatomy, the focus, common threads through all the twists, and much more. So much good stuff! We will have time for some yoga philosophy. We will discuss, practice and learn together!

Intensive 4

This weekend intensive will focus on backbending poses. We love backbends! They're the perfect counterposes to life, opening our hearts and engaging the thorasic spine. They'll keep us standing tall and breathing deeply! We'll examine how the energy moves while we're backbending, the breath, the anatomy, contraindications, props and support, common threads through all our backbends and much more. So much good stuff! Don't worry though, we always have time for some yoga philosophy :) We’ll discuss, we’ll practice, we’ll learn!
While this workshop is designed for yoga teachers wanting to advance their knowledge and practice, we welcome earnest students of yoga also wanting to do the same.

Part six of our 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training!
This weekend we will take a deep dive into Yin Yoga and the lines of fascia (aka connective tissue) in the body. Yin is a wonderful, slow moving practice that gently stretches the muscles and connective tissues with long holds and deep breaths. You'll learn the logic behind this practice plus benefits and risks, when this practice is useful and when it should be avoided. We will also explore with the Yoga TuneUp balls and feel lots of feels! As Jill Miller says, "the body thinks in feels". And of course, we always have time for some yoga philosophy :) We’ll discuss, we’ll practice, we’ll learn!

Part seven of our 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training!
It's time for Restoratives and Yoga Nidra. Two of the most gentle and nourishing practices that we experience in yoga. We'll discuss the benefits of restoratives, the use of (so so many!) props and most importantly, how to create a space that will allow people to receive all the goodness of this amazing practice. We will also discuss and practice Yoga Nidra, a wonderful meditation practice that helps to relieve stress, reconnect to the body and the moment, finding peace as you are and with everything just as it is :)
And of course, we always have time for some yoga philosophy. We’ll discuss, we’ll practice, we’ll learn!

We're taking a deep dive into the chakras! We'll look at the more well known 7 chakra model as well as some lesser known 5 and 12 chakra models. We'll do some asana, breathwork and meditations incorporating the energy of the chakras. We'll discuss the energetic properties, elements, colors, shapes, etc. All the stuff you've always wanted to know and then some! Plus, we'll have a special guest teacher on Saturday - Regan Mozingo! She has a rich and deep knowledge of this subject that she'll be sharing with us :)
We’ll discuss, we’ll practice, we’ll learn!

Part nine of our 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training!
Body reading, cueing and reading the room - such important aspects of teaching movement to people! We'll talk about some fundamental aspects of this and also look a little deeper into the subtleties and nuances of reading bodies and giving movement cues. We will talk about it and practice it! We'll refresh our anatomy knowledge and connect some dots around what you might be seeing and what to do about it, if anything. Additionally, we'll use props in all sorts of fun ways!
We’ll discuss, we’ll practice, we’ll learn!
